Pros: I just ran my new build through a few tests, Itunes, Recording Vocals, WoW, and Google Chrome running in background and Temps never reached above 35 Degrees Celsius vs the stock AMD air cooled at 45 degrees on 3 fans full revs just browsing the net. I highly recommend based on price, ease to install, and Performance that I can base on so far it's a superb deal.
Cons: One very minor issue is the screws for Retention Kit for the AMD assembly were short. The manual calls for J- labeled screw to be used but they will not reach the back plate with AMD AM3+ processor on a Gigabyte GA-990FXA mobo. So if you install use the K Screws (longer) designed for the Intel install.
Overall Review: I ran into a slight issue with my clearance using the radiator/ fan set up with an ATX Mobo due to my case (Phantom 410)size so I got creative and install the fan on top of the case and the radiator underneath of it without chopping my case up (I love it). I moved a few fans around and got a cougar 140 millimeter fan to pair up on top of the other 140 slot just before you install the radiator install that fan first. The 2 holes are slightly covered no issue though.
