Pros: I've had this cooler for sometime now, and it's still keeping my Phenom II x3 720 BE O.C'd to 3.8ghz cooled to about 30c idle, and 40c at load. The wiring on the fan controller burned up a little from faulty soldering, so the fan wouldn't even spin anymore. Didn't realize it until I looked over at the case and saw the blue led's on the fan weren't lit up anymore. So I checked the CPU temp, (was under load at the time) was pushing 43c, which is an acceptable temp considering the O.C. and no fan.

Cons: Don't have any, Zalman customer support/honoring their warranty is simply awesome.

Overall Review: Contacted Zalman for some replacement parts for the fan controller, took them a couple days to respond, but this is the response I got... "Hello Eric, I wanted to follow up with you regarding your request for some 10X Extreme parts. I managed to track down a returned 10X Extreme and tore it apart and tested the unit. I’ll send you a new circuit board and fan controller. It should be shipped out to you today via USPS First Class mail. You will get an email once we ship it out. Thank you. Best regards, Tim Tran RMA Department Zalman USA, Inc." Don't even have to send my unit back!! Some of the best customer service I've recieved from any company.

Pros: Bought two of these to repalce some broken case fans and these fans move some air, and keep the case cooled down nicely, and come with some nice 3 to 4 pin adapters...but....

Cons: Definately louder than 37db at max speed. Are twice as loud as my Radeon HD 5870's fan at max speed. Also... After about 30 minutes or so, these fans start to smell like burning electronics. I can also hear a very high pitched ringing noise when these fans are on. You hear the rattling of the fan over the air passing through it. The bearings on these are most likely garbage because of this, not expecting these fans to last very long at all.

Overall Review: If you're looking to cool your O.C'd computer, definately don't buy these, cause you'll freak out checking your case temps constantly cause you're smelling burning electronics. Spring for something a little more costly, with either a 2ball bearing, or a fluid dynamic bearing, that comes with grommets and all that stuff to deaden noise.

Pros: Case is awesome for implementing water cooling, simply because its the size of a truck.(this thing is massive) the two internal hard drive bays has an awesome mounting system. It's easy, and seems rather secure. Solid steel construction for most of the case.......

Cons: Has a ploished aluminum front panel, fingerprints... and more fingerprints... for 300 bucks, you'd almost expect it to have usb 3.0 on front panel, and the hotswap to have sata III, but it doesnt. It's another 30 bucks from the manufacturers website to buy a front panel with usb 3.0, and hotswap board that has sata III. The 5.25" bays have plastic retaining mechanisms... that are cheap. When anything is in them, they seem to have room to wiggle, and when you have a dvd drive spinning up a dvd, you can hear the drive rattling around in its mount. Also when you have something you want to put in the bay that doesn't conform to a standard 5.25" bay, such as a manual fan controller, its kind of like the square peg in the round hole.... doesn't work, unless you really force it. I still think a few screws is superior, and besides, to secure the other side, it takes a couple screws.

Overall Review: If you could remove the terrible plastic 5.25" drive bay retaining mechanism, and just use a few screws to hold down everything it would be far superior. Or if the 5.25" drive bays had the same type of mounting system the internal hard drive bays have, it would be even better.

Pros: The cost vs. performance. Big step up from my old Phenom II x3 720 BE processor.

Cons: None really at this point, took a chance on a brand spanking new chip, an hoped a BIOS flash would have it work. All the cons lie within the current BIOS, not the chips fault.

Overall Review: I have an Asus M4A79XTD EVO motherboard... I couldn't find any documentation saying that this board would support the 1090T... it infact does, with the 2001 BIOS. However - due to the infancy of the BIOS, and the fact that Asus doesn't explicitly state that this board supports it, overclocking this chip as of right now is basically pointless. I can't seem to get beyond a .2ghz O.C before it's not stable. And with the unlocked multiplier, no matter what I set it at, at this point, it maxes out at 16x. Also with this board and the current BIOS revision, the turbo doesn't seem to work.

Pros: Graphics are superb...but thats really all thats good about the game.

Cons: Controls... they are just awful. I can't get over the lag time between when I move the mouse, and when the action on the screen occurs. And I have a really good mouse. Razer Mamba to be exact. This games gimmick of the grappling hook arm couldn't have been deployed any worse. The idea is that you can scale buildings, pull enemies off ledges, pull cars out of the ditch ect with it... Came up to the first level where you had to climb up a building using nothing but your grappling hook -- Took me over 2 hours trying to get to the top because the controls are just that terrible. Further more all the missions seem to be nearly the same, and take about the same ammount of time to complete - 5 minutes. You spend more time travelling between the missions than you do actually doing the missions.

Overall Review: I bought this game after it came very highly recommended to me... turned out the game is complete fail.

Pros: Phenominal game. It's got a decent length to it. Played the single player campaign for over a week now, and still haven't done everything there is to do. Tons of stuff to do, great story line, great puzzles, just a well done game. A definite buy for those that have the internet connection, and computer for it. I'd almost be willing to put it up there with how good Mass Effect 2 is... but see cons...

Cons: Not the game to get if you have a shotty internet connection. Everytime even for the most tiny interruption in your internet connection, your game play is interrupted. But that very rarely happens ever. No reasons to take an egg off though. Keyboard controls could have been more refined - but what do you expect from a console port. At the beginning it was like "Press (symbol of foot) to kick" and I was like.. uhhh... I don't have a foot symbol on my keyboard. Definately a bit of a learning curb for the controls. Plays best with a game controller. Game even looks like a console port... even at max settings.

Overall Review: I run the game at max settings with 8x antialiasing at over 90+ fps all the time, never see any choppyness or lag....even when I have like 4 torrents going in the background, and other people I live with are soaking up the bandwith. Don't listen to all these people whining about DRM and not being able to pirate the game. They're just unhappy that they can't make a few copies for their buddies to play for free.
