Pros: Moves a LOT of air at very acceptable noise levels. If you are noise weeny however, there are other Noctua fans that move slighly less air but are also quiter. That said, these comes with a full gamut of accessory wires. Let me elaborate. The fan itself has a short (maybe 5" tops) 4 pin cable. This is awesome because many times you don't need a long fan cable, thus it keeps things tidy in your case. However, sometimes you need a longer cable. No problem. Another ~6" extension cable is included with each fan. Fan too loud and you don't want to control it with a fan controller/motherboard/letting your motherboard control it? No problem. A voltage limiting cable is included, ~2" in length. Lastly, most mobos top out at about 4 chassis fan headers, while your high end cases will have as many as 6-8 fan locations. Noone wants to run extra molex power cables just for fans. Again, Noctua's got you covered. Each fan comes with a Y-splitter cable, so one motherboard fan out can power and control two separate fans - I haven't tried Y-splitting the Y-splitter outputs, but didn't have a need for it. Length of the splitter is about 2" as well. All cables are protected with high quality mesh sleeving. 6 year warranty! on a case fan! Reliability is important. My PC is on 24/7, either gaming, serving as a media center, or mining crypto-currency while I'm away. If you want to be sure your compontents are properly cooled, this is a no brainer. Noctua quality at its finest. I've been using noctua fans exclusively for over 6 years now. Will take some amazing reviews from people and reviewers I have a lot of trust in to get me to switch to any other brand.

Cons: Pricy, but you pay for quality and peace of mind. The components you are cooling are worth much much more and heat kills electronics. Color - some complain. I actually like it. Plus I avoid the gaudy computer cases that light up everything with LEDs with acrylic sides for all the world to see. If I'm playing a game or watching a movie, I want to seeing the lights from my monitor, not out the side of my desktop. If i wanted a night-light, I'd buy a night light. So the fans are invisible to me.

Overall Review: Do not hesitate. Buy these fans.

Pros: Meets advertised specs exactly without issue. AMD memory profile found easily in the UEFI Bios of Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2, memory currently clocked at 1872Mhz.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Heat Spreaders are fairly tall. Mine just cleared the CPU cooler, but literally by a hair-width. Others could have probelms with large air-coolers, so make sure you check your clearance.

Pros: For gaming, the card is sweet sweet sweet. Although don't use the Sapphire OC tool if you want to push it, get the MSI Afterburner as it works, has profiles, exact fan settings, easier to use, etc etc... I'm running all games I've thrown at it at 1080p without a hitch. Ultimately will pair them against a 4k display to actually take them to their limits. Right now not breaking a sweat. This includes Metro 2033 (all of them), Crysis (all of them), heck, even STALKER Clear Sky runs well (yes, that's not a new game, but its notoriously inefficent). Mining. Do not listen to the first reviewers - this IS a 900-1000 KH/s card. However, do your research. It will NOT do those numbers out of the box. My happy point is 1040Mhz Core, 1525Mhz memory OC, using SGMiner w/ paramaters: -I 20 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 32765. This is on a Windows 8.1 x64 OS. I hover right around 950Kh/s average, rock-stable mining for days at a time. Ultimately will try under Linux to squeeze out that golden 1MH/s number. Point of order - I use the MSI Afterburner to set the OC profiles, then set them back when I'm done mining. The SGMiner and CGMiner OC functionality is dangerous because if not shut down properly, will not revert the OC to stable levels for normal usage! I learned this the hard way, so take heed. Card runs very cool - I've pushed to 1080 Mhz Core 1525Mhz memory and it never broke 75C, hovered around 73 to 74 the whole time.

Cons: Noise. Now, don't get me wrong - when compared to stock cooling options that are more akin to turbo-jets at take-off, this thing is whisper quiet. But relative to your gaming room/office, once you ramp up those fan profiles to push the fans to 50%-60% when the card is mining, it can get pretty loud. Furthermore, as another reviewer mentioned, there IS some very obvious buzzing from the fans. Now, this ONLY happens when the fans are pushed that hard, which should never need to happen for games. The cooler is more then sufficent to tackle resource hogging games and stay under 40%, while keeping the card under 70C. However for mining, I like to overcool the card beyond what the stock cooling profile calls for, and that is when I get the buzzing. I'm not knocking an egg off for this because of two reasons. 1) The cooler works, very well, and I have protection profiles set to shut down mining and the card if the tempertures go too high - meaning if one of the fans gives out. More then likely, the cooling assembly just isn't geared to take that much vibration. It may even be possible to find the point of buzzing and sound-deaden it. Which brings me to point 2: 2) Since its only loud when its mining, and since its only mining when I'm not around to use my PC for other reasons - I never actually have to experience or deal with the noise.

Overall Review: Got two of these. I'm a gamer first, miner second. Bought one at a time (of course price dropped $20 right after I purchased the second one... oh well - I mined $20 worth of coins in the time it took for the price to drop so I guess its a wash). Am very happy with purchase.

Pros: Quiet, cool, fast enough to stream BR rips over home wifi network. Zero problems with drives working out of the box. Shipping was quality, with drives sealed in multiple layers of bubble-wrap and impact foam. 3 Drives in Synology 1812+ NAS running 24/7 for the past 5 months without a hiccup.

Cons: Ordered 3 drives, put all three through a torture/break-in suite with HDTune 0 fill test and subsequent suite of Seatools tests. Two passed, one failed with bad sectors and audible drive-head impact noises. RMA was painless and quick and new drive passed tests without issues.

Overall Review: Perfect NAS drives, but always always always test your drives completely before entrusting your data to them. Yeah, it delays your build. Or you could skimp on this important step and destroy your data later on. Your choice. I'll be buying two more for the other two NAS bays within a few months. Two disk fault tolerance will be tasty :D.

Pros: Advanced formating - actually ended up reformatting it to 64K blocks since used for large media-file storage. This is good for speed. Just make sure your OS can support it. Fast - even though its a 5400, the advanced formating and the platter density make it not far behind my Seagate Barracude 7200.11. Usually get about 100-120MB/sec copying to it on Win 7 on an old nVidia socket 939 AMD board. Reliability - has been working for me with no issues /knocks on wood Price - regularly on sale for $80 with free shipping, and one time was on sale for only $60 (which translates into just over 3 cents / GB)!!!

Cons: I didn't buy 4 for my NAS when it was on sale for $60... now waiting for another sale

Overall Review: Seems a lot of manufacturers are having quality control issues at least with the first few batches of the high capacity drives. Hitachi, WD, Seagate.... After reading what must have been a hundred or so reviews, seemed to me that the F4s are having the lowest initial failure rate. Went for it, glad I did. Nothing but smooth sailing.

Pros: Works as advertised. No issues.

Cons: None to report

Overall Review: Been using this one pretty regularly in my digital camera. The SDHC USB card reader included with is nice to have as my PC doesn't have the slot and it's a lot easier to use then hooking the camera up to computer every time I want to transfer pictures. Speed is solid, no complaints. I'm sure there's faster ones out there, but honestly for photos - I don't even notice it. No reason I wouldn't recommend this. Size and price are very decent. Why are you still reading this... buy it!
