Great
Pros: Got a stable 479kh/s for litecoin mining at 73C. Use the latest bios to increase stability and kh/s.
Cons: Can become hot inside a case, to run two of these card you need good side fans. On the bottom card, one fan is partially blocked by the power supply, but that's more of a case problem.
Worthless
Pros: None
Cons: Came bundled with video card, can't remove it. Download it anyway, several GB!!! Had to install Steam. Then required Microsoft Live Games account. Finally it took several minute to start a multiplayer game. And then... It just crashed!!!
Overall Review: I would not try to play it again even at gun point. Deserve no eggs at all, but that's not possible!
Beware blown after 3 months
Pros: Now I know it's cheap!
Cons: Failed after 3 months under light load, near or under 50%, a capacitor exploded inside at night. Sent back to Cooler Master for RMA, they are painfully slow, the status of my RMA is "testing" for more than 2 weeks now!
Overall Review: How hard is it supposed to be, to test a blow power supply. I did it, computer was working at night, loud pop at night, computer isn't working anymore... plug another power supply, the computer is working.. plug the defective one, computer isn't working. Not rocket science! Two weeks! Seriously!!!
Awesome
Pros: Faster than last generation black WD1002FAEX Only a small margin slower than WD1003FZEX Lowest price of WD drive for 1 TB. Single platter, Great reliability, Low noise, High sequential speed
Cons: Single platter mean higher full drive access time. See other thoughts.
Overall Review: If use as a single OS drive, don't fill them past 50% and keep everything defragged to keep good performance. Better solution would be to partition the drive and use 250 MB for OS and 750 MB for data. Search for short stroke on google.
Good
Pros: Descent heatsink size Bought a bunch of them and all of them work great.
Cons: None
Awesome for the price
Pros: Silent even with the fan Green light glow from behind the board A lot of 4pin pwm fan header Sata power connector to provide more current to PCIE
Cons: Sata power connector to provide more current to PCIE placement is awkward and interfere with my corsair case. R9 290x overlap bottom connector and prevent anything to be plugged unless some force is use.
Work perfectly
Awesome bass, relaxing ambiant sound, noise reduction decent.
Perfect fan
Exactly as described, fan work flawlessly
