LOVE it
Pros: the card runs cool, 56c was the max I got under stress "Ido have the fan at 65%, not loud at all". The performance is great for the $250 range (Crysis 1 on high 56fps, on Ultra high 36fps) the power draw is small even at load.
Cons: I dont have much that counts as a con since it has noting to do with the card
Overall Review: RIG-- AMD phenom 2 955, 4gb mushkin ddr3 1600, asrock 870 extreme 3, 2x 250gb 7200rpm raid 0 main drive, HD 6950, cooler master rc690
Don't fear
Pros: Everything is in tip top shape. The HDD is in good order and the LCD have no scratches on it. The os that is loaded is legit. I would recommend this refeb to anyone.
Cons: The chassis has two minor dings but they are not big and can be overlooked.
CARD: The FPS Awakening
Pros: I love this thing, I say that a lot but this card is a BEAST. I don't own a game that can bring this card to its knees. Gigabytes quality is top. The heat sink on it is one of the beast I have ever had. I had a Gigabyte 670 with the same cooler so I had some exp with the heat sink. The heat sink shroud is metal, "I love that"
Cons: I am putting this here just to fill space. The card is long 3/4in longer then my old GTX 670. Keep that in mind. I have a Coolermaster RC690 and that is a big case. Any longer and it would not fit.
Overall Review: Here is one of the marks I ran. Unigine Heaven 4.0 FPS: 66.9, Score: 1686, Min FPS: 25.2, Max FPS: 138.6 Direct3D11 1920x1080 8xAA fullscreen Quality: Ultra, Tessellation: Extreme
For the love of buttons
Pros: This mouse can not be beat. Top notch quality and a great feel. I don't just use it for MMOs. Most games have you use the number keys to switch weapons.
Cons: The only thing I have against this mouse is were Razer put the forward and back buttons.
BIG
Pros: The cooler is very well made and dose it's job well. You have lots of cord to play with. The height it sits above the ram is enough for my G-skill rip jaw x dimms. It's mount is solid and has very little movement once the bolt it down.
Cons: I took one egg off for this. Now it is a pain in the *** to install ram after you put this cooler in. In fact I would say cant or should not. You will have to take the cooler off first. I would have like to have seen a higher flow fan. The stock fan dose fine but it can be better.
Overall Review: I would recommend this heat sink. If you need a nice big heat sink but don't have the height needed for a stand up 120mm. You should be fine getting this cooler.
good
Pros: they do all that they say they will. Bright! You can get better fans, but you can pay more too.
Cons: None they are working great for me.
