Great Cooling
Pros: This cooler is great. Keeps Idle temps for my Phenom II x6 1055t at 20C when OC'ed to 3.6Ghz. Isn't to terribly loud. Small design allows good airflow
Cons: The back plate that came with it is horrible. My stock backplate was metal and the one for this is cheapo plastic. I only hand tighted the cooler down and when I went to take it off it broke and just kept spinning instead of loosening. Have to use something to hold the back to be able to loosen it.
Overall Review: Didn't buy this from newegg because it was fairly cheap at best buy and I was there.
Good Card, Bad Luck
Pros: This card tend to stay pretty cool. At stock clocks it runs games well. Though not as well as I would hope. Looks nice.
Cons: Literally doesn't overclock at all. If I try to push it above stock clocks at all, no matter what voltage, it crashes during any game I play. So far it seems to get pretty inconsistent frame rate. Jumping from 60+ down to 15 quite often. Also a couple of time while at idle, my pc lost video and the fans stopped. I know it wasn't hibernate or anything like that because I have my pc set to never turn off.
Overall Review: I wish the leds were red. I have a red them on my pc and the color of the card just throws it off. but I can deal with that.
