XIGMATEK LOKI SD963 92mm HYPRO Bearing CPU Cooler bracket included dual fan push pull compatible LGA1150 Haswell Compatible

Pros: Easy install. First full build here and was 5 minutes if that. combined with Arctic cooling MX-2 my temps on a Phenom II X4 3.4 Denab are 32 idle and 45-46 full exhaustive load.

Cons: none really. Its 92mm so its not big whatsoever. have miles of room in my Antec 300 case.

Pros: Awesome RAM- installed to Asus M4A77TD- only CL adjustments needed with the switch to 1600 in bios and your off! Cant beat this for the cost and versitility.

Cons: I didnt buy 16G...now I have to wait

Powercoler pathway to eyefinity

POWERCOLOR Active DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI-D Adapter DP-SL DVI-D ADAPTER

Pros: perfect! does the trick with eyefinity thanks to being an active cable so no need to waste money on any "suggested by others" cables that are overpriced to begin with. Love it and eyefinity is a beauty.

Cons: Did not plug itself in

Pros: Got this for 6.98- used on Sony Blue Ray player and vs. the 49+ cables int he store could'nt beat it.

Cons: If you dont like items coming in a zip bag it may be a con but who care about packages on cables?

Pros: Specs make for a great low budget card with phenominal power. I am running eyefinity with this on one 22' and two 20' monitors at 4800x900 and it looks amazing. some say the monitor size differences are a throw off or wont even work but i play ALOT and its imersive and clean. I have put Need for Spreed Shift 2, Dead Space 2, LFD2, WoW, Dragon Age you name it to max/high ultra and I am still pushing 60 fps+ on everything (All you need with 60mhz refresh anyways).

Cons: Runs 70 degrees on max loan eyefinity so fan kicks up a notch. To some may be loud but if you game with headphones or have surround up then you wont even notice and my tower is 3 feet from me on the desktop.

Overall Review: Note eyefinity fans- the cheapest and guaranteed way is to run two on the DVI ports and pick up the powercolor DVI to DP active adaptor sold here on new egg. i got it for 24.00! you dont need expensive high end adaptors. please take my word for it. Setup: Antec 300 case w/ 4 120mm and a 140mm M4A77TD Asus board Phenom II X4 3.4ghz 8gb Centon 1600 ram Xigmatek Loki cooler XHX radeon HD6850 GPU 22' LG and two 20' HP monitors Seagate 7200rpm 500gb HD Western Digital 160 gb HD Asus Xonar 5.1 sound card Creative Inspire T3130 2.1 Speakers

Pros: plenty of USB 2.0, 4 DIM slots, AM3, boost/unlocker etc...

Cons: Pretty new so first mobo so i cant give crazy good info but was an easy instal. ran AData ram which it picked up but had to manually adjust voltage and freq off the bat.
