Highest Quality I've EVER SEEN !
Pros: Out of every fan I've ever seen, owned, or held this fan is by far the highest quality fan ever ! It moves a decent amount of air while being completely quiet (and I mean completely). Sleeved cable is high quality and looks great. If you need a fan to put on your CPU cooler or Radiator then stop looking and put this in your cart, however if you need a good case fan look elsewhere this fan was not meant to move a serious amount of air but to build static pressure while trying to move air through something, go to the Noctura website to read more about how it works!
Cons: None that I've found! for those that say it's pricey remember you get what you pay for !!!!!
Overall Review: Now as for the color allot of people say it's ugly or odd, and I won't disagree. But here is my thought on this idea cause people complain about color in allot of reviews from Motherboards to Memory and so on: "Don't you buy you parts for what they can do (the features) or for how they look????
Great card, Bad Program
Pros: 650 Card is good no problems with install, Great picture, good sound.
Cons: Software that came with it sucks, don't use the caclyst media center software, it caused a jumpy picture and sound.
Overall Review: Download beyond Tv software, it works great. it has more options and just works better than anything else I tried.
Awesome Fan
Pros: Quiet, moves a bunch of air, great looking fan - LED's on the Blue version are nice if you need one with LED's
Cons: What are you Kidding ?
Overall Review: I have a Corsair 800D case and I replaced the Stock 140MM fans (bottom and back fans) with 1 of these and 1 of the black versions without LED's. They helped lower the Graphics card temps by about 5 degrees C. I have no complaints and would most defiantly buy again. I will be buying 3 of the 120MM versions soon for the top of my case.
Awesome Fan
Pros: Quiet, moves a bunch of air, great looking fan- LED's are bright but not too bright, did I mention quiet!
Cons: What are you Kidding ?

More Impressions
Pros: This is an update to an earlier review called first impressions: Now that I've had a chance to play with this chip a bit more I'm still very impressed I've been able to max out settings in games that I couldn't before because it would max out the processor. Web pages load faster, Videos play better the list could go on and on. I almost built an entirely new computer around an Intel I7 950 X58 based system. Now I'm very glad I decided to go with this it is more than ample for my needs right now and it saved me so much money.
Cons: None, none, none, none, none, none !!!!!! Oh did I mention NONE !!!!!!!
Overall Review: It also overclocks nicely ! Oh and as I stated in my earlier review as soon as I knew there was nothing wrong with it I pulled the stock Heatsink and fan and put my Zalman back on, it droped my temps 10 C. It idles around 35 - 38 C tops out around 45 C. My System: Foxconn Destroyer AM2+ Motherboard This Processor + Zalman Heatsink/Fan 8 Gigs of Kingston Hyper X 1066 Memory EVGA GTX 285 SSC edtion Samsung 320 Gig 7200 RPM Main drive Samsung 2TB 5400 RPM Storage drive Ultra X3 1000 Watt power suply Corsair Obsidian 800D case
Amazing Drive
Pros: If you're looking for a 2 TB drive and you don't want to pay $180 or more for it, then what are you waiting for grab this. This drive even though it is a 5400 RPM drive it seems that the 32 MB cache makes up for it because I've not seen the transfer speeds drop below 135 MB/sec. Before this I was running 3 500 GB Seagate 7200 RPM drives used as storage for music and movies/TV shows. when watching movies and tv shows sometimes they would glitch or hic-up since moving everything over to this drive I've only had one such hic-up and turns out my Anti-virus software was running a full scan and it is probably what cuased that one.
Cons: It's not a 7200 RPM drive (but with how it performs WHO CARES).
Overall Review: It cost alot less than any 7200 RPM dirve in the same performance class. You could say it's the AMD solution of the storage world.
