Good Card

Pros: I really do like this Video Card
Cons: The Rebate is a JOKE , this is the 2nd time MSI rejected a rebate even though there was NOTHING more i could do to get the rebate. -1 egg for this
Overall Review: Get the card for the dollar amount shown and forget ever getting any rebate save yourself time and effort on that one.
Unable to use

Pros: NONE
Cons: ALL
Overall Review: Verification tool doesn't work , just tells me to download it (ONCE) more , I have tried this on 3 different PCs they all do the same thing , running the (TOOL) gives you a pop up saying Please download the PVT once more and try it again. I think I am the TOOL trying to get this to work.
the PU chair ; P

Pros: Assembly for me was very straight forward I bought 2 of these chairs and everything lined right up. They both seem sturdy enough but only time will tell. What I really like about them is they sit you straight up and I have 2 chairs that are more comfortable but your leaning so far back I cant even use them for the PC anymore.
Cons: They aren't the most comfortable chairs but still are good enough for myself to game for a few hours. The lowest setting on this chair for me is all the way up they are really high off the ground when you raise them so they are both all the way down and that is where I can use them any higher and I wouldn't like them at all.
Overall Review: for the money the value is there
Like it

Pros: My new system booted right up and detected the ram correctly. No issues and the price is attractive
Cons: none
So far excellent

Pros: It does everything I need. Had no issues clocking the 2500k to 5ghz. Price is nice!
Cons: none
Nice

Pros: Overclockin Dream. Using the CM Hyper212 cooler i set it for 5ghz and have had no instability whatsoever! Im one of the crazy people but ill most likely back it to 4.5 since I really do not see why I would run here besides being King For a Day. I just ordered a New Vid card because I was NOT impressed going from an E8400 with a 260GTX to this processor. Maybe a 20% increase in framerates but i use some high settings and Im not going to be unrealistic and set my games to 800x600 so I can see some REAL CPU BOOST. I really dont do much in the way of video encoding just play games so i cant compair the old dual core to this to me I like it a lot My wifes first words after using the new PC were This PC is slow :P
Cons: There is no HT ? My wife says its Slow
Overall Review: If your going to overclock I would recommend NOT using the junk stock HSF. I might recommend the CM hyper 212 if the thing wasnt so rediculously HUGE. I had to remove both the Fans on the case side and cross my fingers that I could actually use the side, nice it FIT (barely)
