great burner
Pros: QUIET: i usually have to touch it to tell if it's spinning up. the only time i could really hear it spinning up was when it was about to burn. looks great, the white decals on it are a dull color that doesnt stand out too much on the front so it looks great on my antec nine hundred. lightscribe is cool.
Cons: none
Overall Review: i really lucked out with this burner: the only reason i bought it was bc the sony nec was out of stock when i ordered the rest of my computer. as a result i got an ultra quiet burner with lightscribe...worth every penny
Don't get a wireless headset
Pros: Wireless, well-designed ergonomically, fairly light.
Cons: Bass is weak, as expected, but the real issue is that even when plugged in this thing runs out of juice!
Overall Review: I knew the bass would be weak since this thing is running off a battery, but I thought that if the battery ran low I could just plug it in and keep using it. I was wrong. You plug this thing in(which already defeats the purpose of a wireless headset right?) and it will STILL run out of battery power after a while. Unacceptable imo. Prior to this, I had a logitech G35 that eventually started to wear out, but otherwise worked pretty well, so I figured I'd give this headset a try. Bad mistake! I'm so disappointed by this logitech headset that I didn't re-order a G35, instead I ordered a much cheaper wired headset that has decent reviews. Can I return this thing?
great hd
Pros: not very loud at all, great performance.
Cons: none
Overall Review: two of them in raid 0 was worth 8ms response and ~129 mb/s
awesome memory
Pros: at 2.2v(speced voltage) it overclocked to ddr1200@55510!
Cons: none
Overall Review: the lights are cool too...BUY IT
great proc
Pros: overclocked to 3333mhz@4.25v on my evga 680i sli mobo
Cons: kinda wish i had x9 multiplier
Overall Review: with prime95 running temp is 51°C thanks to a thermalright ultra 120 extreme with two fans on it :)
great overclocker
Pros: nice looking card, fantastic performance, and as a first-time-overclocker i got it from 513/792 to 650/1000 without even seeing any artifacts or snow...i just stopped bc i thought that was more than enough ;)
Cons: none
Overall Review: as i was ocing i had to pay attention to the memory mhz in hardware moniter: when i increased the mhz on the bar and tested/applied it didn't mean the actual mhz increased, bc the actual increased in fairly big jumps and wouldn't jump until i got close to the next plateau ie the hw monter would show 900mhz actual but i would have the slider at 910, and as i moved the slider up to 913 and test/apply the actual mhz would finally bump up to 915...this confused me bc i'd move the slider and see no change in the benchmark score, or a reduction in the score, because i wasn't increasing the actual frequency. the core does the same thing but it idles at stock mhz when it's not under load, so to check that i increased the actual mhz i left the bardware moniter on and started a graphics bench, then canceled and checked the moniter to see if the core frequency actually increased. then i'd bench and look for glitches or a lower score which could mean it went into a safe mode
