fan tastic

Deep Cool Frozen-Ice Mini CPU Cooler 80mm Dual Cooling Fan with Heatpipes Heatsink - Intel Socket LGA1150/LGA775, AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2
Deep Cool Frozen-Ice Mini CPU Cooler 80mm Dual Cooling Fan with Heatpipes Heatsink - Intel Socket LGA1150/LGA775, AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

Pros: It was an easy install with plenty of room even with 4 sticks of ram. Shipping time was right on the money even with a delay due to weather. It fit right on the CPU not one problem very quiet and an almost immediate change in CPU temp. And after a full day of gaming World of Tanks, World of Warships, and Armored Warfare the temps NEVER went above 93 to 95 on my CPU. I had tried several different coolers with very little success in dropping the operating temps of my CPU. The only other cooler that brought them down was the stock cooler and it only lowered them to around 120 degrees. And I was getting temp spikes well into the 145 to 150 degree range. And to let you know I have 7 fans in my case now 9 including the CPU's 2 fans which push air out the back with another fan.

Cons: Not really a con but the mounting instructions on the box were small and very lightly printed. Goggled the cooler to get a clearer picture and larger.

Overall Review: Would i recommend this to others? Emphatically YES!!! My rig is a home built with parts from NEWEGG to begin with and has been upgraded several times. It is as follows. Mobo: ASROCK Z97 pro 3 (purchased here) CPU: INTEL 4670K (purchased here) Drives: 4, 2 ssd drives totaling 740gb and 2 standard drives totaling 1640gb Ram: 24gb hyper x red Psu: Thermaltake (used) Case: Thermaltake labeled gigabyte

waste of money or just a bad card

Pros: nice looking easy to install I got radeon to RMA the card it was a bad card

Cons: not working Try to go into games I play I get a flashing black screen sometime a green screen crash and no game play at all. I have tried fresh clean install of drivers. I have ran thru every setting I can think of even dumbed down to 1920x1080 on a 4k tv. And this is supposed to be 4k ready. Even if I am not in games it will flash black screen at times now that I have the new card it is working great no problems and that IS NOT A CON. BUT that a non-working card was sent first is.

Overall Review: If the card worked like it was supposed to yes I would recommend it. BUT I would not recommend going thru newegg for it. Why you ask? #1: I payed extra for the rush processing that didn't happen. #2: I payed extra for 3 day shipping that didn't happen 5 days to get here for a card that don't work. So I guess I am out the money I spent on top of the price of the card. And I guess I will contact radeon support and see if they can talk me thru the problems or start RMA procedures and wait another 30 days for a new card. But I have heard horror stories of people getting refurbished cards cards back when they sent their's in for RMA. All I know is I spent hard earned money on something that didn't work got ripped off by paying for a service I DIDN'T get and have to wait even longer possibly to get another card that might or might not work. YIPPEE After getting all that done I decided to do a total rebuild on my rig. I changed out a lot of things and now the neighbors are complaining about the screams coming from my house. Upgraded rig is as follows. mobo: ASUS PRIME B350 PLUS CPU: RYZEN 7 1700x RAM: ADATA 16GB 2400 DDR4 GPU: RADEON RX XFX 580 8GB PSU: THERMALTAKE 850 WATT SEMI MODULAR DRIVES: 240GB SSD FOR OS , 1TB WD BLUE FOR GAMES 640GB WD BLACK FOR RANDOM STUFF CASE: THERMALTAKE MID TOWER (going to be replaced with a full tower) COOLING: FANS FOR CASE AND A CORSAIR LIQUID COOLER FOR CPU Needless to say thing run great
