Pros: Compact, quiet, and does what it needs to do to keep your CPU cool. Also not very loud unless under 100% load, which is nice in dual processor configs in addition to being cheap (does not feel cheap).

Cons: Obviously be aware that this is a NARROW socket 2011 cooler and not a square one. Many motherboard specs do not list this and you sort of have to eye it up.

Overall Review: I use this for all of my work production builds and it has kept the CPUs under 60 under full load consistently across builds. This is the only narrow cooler I use being that it's cheap and gets the job done extremely well.

Pros: Nice price and quality name

Cons: 12V rail fluctuates in voltage very far form 12V

Overall Review: The voltage on the 12V rail(s) fluctuate more than allowed in the specification, causing *most* motherboards to shut off with a power failure. Upon further research I found that this is an issue with this specific model and others have reported have the same problems. Returned for a refund after paying $15 in shipping.

Pros: Great semi-modular PSU. Long cable lengths, etc.

Cons: Died within two weeks of use.

Overall Review: Looking at the other recent reviews, I don't think I'll waste the money/time that it takes to RMA it. I bought this for a build for work and it looks like I'll be biting the bullet and going with a cheaper PSU to replace it. That's a shame.

Pros: Quieter than most other solutions out there. The fan and pump is hardly noticeable noise-wise.

Cons: Cheaply made. Screw holes strip VERY easily. This is not a part that likes to be uninstalled and re-installed. Plan to keep it in the first place that you install it. Not the best for overclocking. This thing holds the processor where it needs to be at stock and nothing more. Died after 6 months of moderate use (6-8 hours per day). Was great while it lasted

Overall Review: Would I buy this again? Sure. This is the fourth build that I've used this in and was the first one to die. The other two are over a year old and still chugging with heavier usage. Would I RMA this? Nah. It's cheap enough that it's not worth paying the shipping to RMA it when I could pay a little more and get a better cooler.

Pros: Great base clock and performance

Cons: HOT HOT HOT

Overall Review: Don't think about overclocking this without a large(r) liquid cooler. On a 120MM liquid cooler that covers the entire surface area of the chip, it runs around 65 degrees max running Prime95 running stock clock. Don't think about overclocking without a larger liquid cooler.

Pros: Fast I/O and cheap for the space.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've used Chronos series SSDs in over 20 builds and they haven't disappointed. Just cloned a 120GB SSD to this and extended the volume and voila. Startup time is around 10 seconds with a derpy MSI bios. Very satisfied.
