Overall Review: I really thought I was a power user, I'm a gamer and sometimes I stream. Barely push the cpu to 20 percent. Stays at 40C or less while im playing/streaming control. Im blown away with the power of this cpu.

Pros: -It works out of the box and comes with refill fluid

Cons: -It is not quiet. I lost two fans within 8 months, both fans lost a bearing and just made an awful racket. -It's not very effective on a 7950x. Temps were pretty high on idle, so during games it would get much warmer, probably leading to the failure of the fans.

Overall Review: If you're an actual gamer, look elsewhere. The return process is also not pleasant, as they want the serial number of the product, which means I have to rip the thing out of my PC to find a serial number for an obviously burned out fan bearing. I literally had the guy on phone support ask me what the screeching noise was... This will probably be my last purchase of a be quiet! product.

Overall Review: Worked out if the box with the 3950x. Pci4 worked great, xmpp ram profile setup easily.

Overall Review: Installed this in my parents rig with a 2600. Everything boots in a real hurry, and they notice the difference, even from a Samsung pro 950 Sata drive.

Pros: -None of those flashy LED's, no extra LED headers, not a lot of gaming colors or plastic bezels over things. This is going in my parents rig, its a stealth black case without windows. Who needs colors? Not a flashy bios for gaming, just a plain Jane setup. Worked out of the box.

Overall Review: This is going in my parents rig, its a stealth black case without windows. Who needs colors? Not a flashy bios for gaming, just a plain Jane setup. Worked out of the box. Everything plugged in fine, no issues whatsover in installing an M.2 drive, a regular sata SSD, and a Sata blu-ray writer. Everything boots fast.

Pros: -7200 spinner at 50 dollars a terabyte -Trusted name -no issues so far -runs a raid just fine

Cons: -Didn't like having to find SATA cables, but at 50 dollars a unit, I'm ok with it.

Overall Review: Still going strong after a year.
