Card has serious Muscle
Pros: does 2k core 9k mem under 56C. Ive had it up to 2200 Core and still looks stable, but dont need it so I backed it down to boost at 1954 MHZ, its always in boost. The plastic shroud and backplate is ST801 Nylon so its good and has a melt temp of 554 F vs toy solder polypropylene melt temp of 266 F
Cons: It runs so cool I did not have to tear it apart and change the TIM
Overall Review: Its the best card out there right now. I dont think the 3 GB model with 1 SMU removed will be far behind, but I would not pay over $199 for a 3 GB Model Fellas
Good for 2 years
Pros: Good fan for radiators, relatively quite. Priced and changeable color rings
Cons: Only lasted two years to the day give or take a day and then it developed a droning sound. The non PWN model that is on the same radiator and is a few months older is still doing good, but I need to use the PWM header because of the radiators location in my case for 1 of the fans.
Overall Review: I bought it again just now, but hope it lasts longer than 2 years.
the best
Pros: for $13.99 I want to buy 18 more and hand them out at Xmas
Cons: Why are they not in stock?
Overall Review: Me and my girl have been using these for 8+ months and I want back-ups and xmas presents. Please make more :)
Works great in my Antec 1000W Quattro PSU
Pros: moves enough air to cool my PSU and is much more quite than the stock fan in the antec trupower quattro. I only replaced the stock fan though cause it starting rattling.
Cons: None, its not the stupid natural/brown color like most Noctua's
Great Ram
Pros: Had someone else's Gold RAM and was having some BSOD issues. Threw these in and have not had a problem since. Never really pushed them higher than 1600 MHZ, But they have been running since Nov. 2009 at 8-8-8-24 1T(1N)
Cons: Price is up like 50 Bux since I bought em.
1700 MHZ cealing?
Pros: Boots up at 1.65 v 1333. works great at 8-8-8-24 1700MHZ, but won't do a single MHZ over. Runs fine at 1.850. (also on the BlackOps)
Cons: won't budge over 1700 MHZ , even with more volts and timings of 10-10-10-42
Overall Review: Great budget DDR3. Gains of about a half a second in super pi over DDR2 @ 900 MHZ.
