Happy

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

Pros: Looks nice, works well, not to noisy.

Cons: Tall - about 6 inches. I had to move the side fan on my Azza Solano to the outside of the case.

Overall Review: I haven't done any overclocking other than auto but I haven't had any high temps yet. Win7 64 ; i7920 ; P6TSE ; 6gb HyperX ; SB X-Fi ; WD 500gb Caviar Black ; Corsair 850

Pros: Very solid performer. Coming from a P4Pse (remember those?) so it's a big jump for me. Haven't used much of the features yet as I'm still just hangin' on to this thing tryin' to keep up - lol. I've set my HyperX 2000 to XMP profile 2 and it works great there. Auto overclocking seems to work fine. It will take me a long time to feel like I need to tweak this thing.

Cons: -

Solid

Pros: Seams bulletproof, looks nice. Cableage more than long enough. Overall very happy. Went into an Azza Solano fine.

Cons: Lots of cables - got me wishin' for a modular when I first unpacked it. No problems this time as I went with a full size case for once and could hide the cables well enough.

Pros: Very fast, but I'm coming from old Prescott HT rig - what do I know? Got the D0 step from Newegg.

Cons: (Do I have to put something here?)

Overall Review: Haven't manually overclocked yet - no need. Giggity fast. Win7 64 ; i7920 ; P6TSE ; 6gb HyperX ; SB X-Fi ; WD 500gb Caviar Black ; Corsair 850
