Buyer Beware!!!

XFX FX-795A-TNBC Radeon HD 7950 Black 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
XFX FX-795A-TNBC Radeon HD 7950 Black 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: Looks great when it works!

Cons: Recently I've been testing quite a few video cards as I am an Electrical Engineer and work with Adaptive Technologies. This particular card was originally defective out of the box, and the replacement went out about a month after installation. Not only did it "go out" but it also flatlined my system. I've moved onto another manufacturer and am pleased so far with my 7970 edition. I am going to RMA this card for an Aux. PC and wanted to let the community know about my particular issues. I run top tier components and tested all the hardware in my PC. Everything else was fine...

Overall Review: Check all your options and beware of overclocked cards as I always see no or very minimal improvement from this level of a card unless you just need the unlocked features on that particular model.

Buyer Beware Incompatible with 1155

ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler

Pros: Couldn't even install it! Delayed a build!!! Not really a pro lol

Cons: This product is NOT I repeat NOT compatible with LGA1155 Sockets from Newegg! Zalman has in fact fixed the issue from version 1.2 to 2.2 of this particular CPU Cooler to fit our 1155 socket types, but I received mine today 10/31/2011 and it was version 1.2... bummer

Overall Review: Please update the technical data for this product. Version 2.2 is in fact 1155 compatible and comes with the correct mounting kit; moreover, it should be specified which version you are shipping! Couldn't build so I gave it a 1, sorry Zalman.
