EASY

Pros: If you have never overclocked anything ever this board is overclocking on easy mode. Lots of features with this board. It wasn't DOA.
Cons: When the board ships it is missing just about every driver! The driver for the network adapter for starers should be downloaded from the support page to a DISK...Don't try to boot from a USB... make sure you have a DISK for your operating system or it may not read. Warning the USB 3.0 drivers werent loaded either.... Weird so many drivers are missing.
Overall Review: Its worth the price with Use a promo code maybe a small gift card and rebate you have a GREAT BOARD for a SUPER price.
Ouch

Pros: saves me about 12 degrees over stock fan with arctic silver thermal paste. Cool led light and price.
Cons: This fan sounds like turning your computer on only to listen to a lawn mower run over the neighbors pet Tasmanian devil while sitting on a under a F22 take off in times square on new years eve!!
Overall Review: I am considering learning sign language and chopping out my ear drums...you're right! This seems a bit drastic for 20 bucks but its the only way to use this! So, I guess to save blood stains in my carpet, sign language tutoring, the overnight hospital bills and sudden lost of interest in Glee I will just send it back.
Pay attention.

Pros: It fits in (most) a small builds which is a plus in (my case). The price isn't (too bad). I idle around (27c)
Cons: Fan Noise 19 ~ 40 dBA.....I'm not sure what this means BUT here is an example of what it sounds like...Your remember going over your grandparents house in the summer? Well, if you do you remember the old box fans the had sitting in the window? Well, then your in luck... It sound's like your grand mothers fan is blowing out of your tower! I mean the fan can be turned on your in the summer time and reduce the cost of cooling in YOUR HOUSE!
Overall Review: This cooler isn't the easiest to install. I had to WRASSLE with it a bit so pay attention. First your Motherboard has to come out. Next insert the back plate and pin screws and reassemble your build. Always good practice right? Then the fighting starts. After getting this thing pinned down try not to call the WWE and swear you deserve a title shot Iike I did. I mean it was ugly, I felt like one of the men on swamp people who pull gators into the boat. (Sigh) Now, Next DON'T TIGHTEN IT DOWN TOO HARD which might be easy to do because your in a bad mood (lol) only (lol) looking back on it...IF, you over tighten it you will crack your motherboard or have metal to metal contact with your cpu and which will cause your pc to start or worse ((Blow UP)) because ((right)) your system is overheating. So, only twist down a few times. Would I recommend this? Sure! If you have a full size board with a full size ATX tower which I don't have. I'm sure your results would be way better. Replacing the 120mm fan that comes with it is also in option but you would have to spend a few more bucks OR OR you could use the one that in already in your case to see if the outcome reduces the noise.
Just O.k.

Pros: It works just like they said it would. Price!
Cons: When people write it runs hot they ain't lying! The performance isn't that special. Even against the first quad core that Intel ever put out.
Overall Review: If you read the reviews they are spot on. The stock fan is beyond trash. Why would they even package it? Could save everyone 10 dollars off by leaving it out to go towards an aftermarket. Only buy this thing IF you DON'T have the money for a good stand alone GPU. IF you have money for a aftermarket cooler! This thing will get you by. I mean just get by but if your broke this isn't a bad start.
So far so good!

Pros: It worked.! Scored a 7.3 on that cheesy windows scale! Price 45 dollars!
Cons: Came in a white box no bigger then the drive itself with nothing included. Which is basically a message for "Good Luck"...
Overall Review: I brought this because I'm bored. I have an older mother board I'm dropping "newer" parts in to see how this old computer will compare to other top dollar computers I own. The mother board only has only has SATA (II) ports. I connected it with a SATA (II) cable because this is a SATA (II) drive. Also, my mother board doesn't post this as a hard drive but just runs it as one as if it was a jump drive. So, a lot of mother board may not even pick that much up. It's a risk!
Worth it!

Pros: Price,cooling, and space.
Cons: Fan Noice sweet goodness kinda of loud but I guess for It's price u get at least one con.
Overall Review: I would buy another if i was Broke which I always am. Newegg shipping is so fast it got to my house before I logged off my account screen.
