Pros: Price/Performance, hands down, this is it. I've been budget system overclocking PCs since I pushed a 486SX to 40Mhz almost 20 years ago, and let me tell you, this processor is a Overclocker's dream. You can get ~3.5Ghz totally stable with stock cooler around 1.45 vcore. With a good aftermarket cooler 4.0Ghz stable is easy. See instructions in "Other thoughts" section.

Cons: ZERO. Are you on a budget, but want to run with the big boys, then buy this.

Overall Review: How to Overclock this processor to 4.0Ghz stable on good aftermarket cooler: Set CPU vcore voltage to 1.475 volts. Set Bus Speed to 286Mhz. Leave CPU multiplier at x14. Turn off "Turbo Core" feature. Do not OC northbridge, so set its multiplier to x7. Set HT Link speed to the same as the northbridge. Lower multiplier on RAM to keep it under it's rated frequency. You can try to OC RAM later if you like.

Pros: Cheap, easy to install. Surprisingly good performance.

Cons: I used this motherboard, CPU combo to build a basic web surfing, email reading system to use when my girlfriend was hogging up the gaming PC. It worked well for the few times I actually got to use it. So I sat down to use it last night and I knew something was wrong immediately because the system seemed to be caught in a loop of powering up for about 1 to 2 seconds then powering down, waiting about 5-10 seconds and then powering up for 1 to 2 seconds again, repeat.... I could tell it was doing this because the power LED and fans would run for the 1-2 seconds. I attempted to troubleshoot the system by replacing the Power Supply and all other components from another working system. Even with everything replaced, the motherboard still exhibited the same behavior. Now the dilemma, "Is it even work the trouble and shipping costs to RMA?"

Overall Review: I'm disappointed in my first Biostar purchase. For my gaming rigs, I always go with Asus or Gigabyte, neither have let me down. I guess I should of stuck with them for the cheapo build as well.

Pros: Very Basic. Plug in USB port, charge, unplug, plug in phone, charge, repeat. Cheap.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Cheap. Setup was easy. Motion detection works reasonably well.

Cons: The built-in microphone mixes in the sound of an old fashioned engine idling with whatever the actual background sound is. This gives a nice rustic vibe to any recorded video but otherwise is quite annoying. Tested through the web interface and my Android smartphone, both have the '32 Ford idle noise. The Android app crashes if you delete the last saved video or image capture. Had to reboot my phone once to get things back to normal. Sometimes the video stream does not load immediately from either the web or Andriod App and you have to refresh the web page or relaunch the App.

Overall Review: I picked this up because it of the great Black Friday deal Newegg was running on it. It has its quirks, but really for the price it's good enough. So-so picture quality and totally blind if the lights are out or used outside at night.

Pros: Really keeps the CPU cool. Took my 3.25Ghz overclocked AMD Phenom II x6 1055T running at 56C on stock cooler to 4.0Ghz at 39C! This is at full load using AMD's Overdrive stress tester running for around 10 minutes at 1.445 volts core. Idle temps are 5 degrees over room temperature.

Cons: Fan doesn't start spinning at power on. It tries to turn but fails in a silent twitching action for the first minute or so, and eventually does come on when temps start to go up, but there's so much surface area to the heat sink itself that even with no fan the CPU stays cool. This is a defect, and I wrote Zalman an email about it with no response in the last 5 days. Once the fan starts running it continues to run normally until power down. All in all, I'm debating about RMAing the thing. It was a pain to totally disassemble the clear acrylic case I have this installed in to remove the motherboard and CPU backplate. And I figure I'll lose the money for the Arctic Silver I used. If I never hear back from Zalman, then I might just keep it and never buy one of their products again.

Overall Review: I used Arctic Silver thermal paste instead of the included paste, based on other reviews and I've used Arctic Silver for years with great results. Go with what you trust. If you're installing this, and get confused about how they want you to install the included two sided tape, go to their website. They have a great video that shows you exactly how to install it. The printed instructions are short and not obvious.

Pros: The default timings on this card were actually higher than what is listed here. The core clock is 550Mhz and the Memory clock is (850Mhz X 2) = 1700Mhz effective. Maybe this is because of the recertification process doesn't guarantee you get the same card every time? The card did look exactly like the photos listed here though. It of course runs FarCry 2 great on high settings and for $89.99 it's one of the best deals on GPUs out there. I went ahead and overclocked it to 600Mhz core and 1800Mhz Mem with Nvidia's latest drivers and "nTune" right off their website. Which you kind of need since this comes in a white box with absolutely nothing, no drivers, no cables, or VGA converter connectors. It's completely stable, been running for several days. I'm sure it will overclock even more if you wanna push it, and for this price, why not?

Cons: As mentioned, nothing but a white box with only the card itself included, but, hey, what did you expect for this "recertified" price?

Overall Review: This was the final component of a string of Newegg cheep-o (shell-shocker, etc.) purchases to make the fastest gaming rig for the least $$. Biggest bang for the buck, then overclocked everything to get gaming proformace. Here's the specs: CPU: Intel Q8200 o.c.ed to 2.75Mhz CPU Fan: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm Mem: OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 Mobo: Asus P5Q Pro Case: Antec NSK6580B with stock 430W PS Case Fans: filled it up with Rosewill 120mm and AeroCool 90mms GPU: this card

Installed without issue in a Windows 10 PC with default Windows 10 drivers. Both ports work fine. The reason I knocked off an egg was that it doesn't have Linux support, or at least that's what their documentation says. And, I wish the ports themselves were mounted closer to the middle of the expansion slot. Because they're closer to one side they align very closely to the expansion slot chassis rail which can make it difficult to fully insert a chunky USB-C cable connector into the socket.
