Most Favorable Review

Works for me

Arctic Silver Ceramique Thermal Compound
Arctic Silver Ceramique Thermal Compound

Pros: Dropped my temps 10C even with a stock cooler. I added an Antec 478 performance cooler and at idle my 2.4 Northwood@ 2.8 is running 31C. Under a load for 4-5 hours it hits 40C. This is my second tube because my friends wanted it done to thiers too.

Cons: none really

Overall Review: You do have to follow the instructions for optimal performance. It does what it says when done right. I lapped (resurfaced) my heatsink and it helped even more. I did about 9-10 with one tube even my GPU.

Most Critical Review

Great sound but

Pros: Great sound quality and ease of use. Music and calls are clear. I use it with my Iphone 5c and my Ipod touch as well as my MacBook.

Cons: After 5 months the plastic housing near the ear piece started cracking and coming apart. I have a friend who has had the same one for several years without a problem. I must have gotten a defective one.

Overall Review: I contacted Motorola and they said they will repair or replace it so I sent my sales receipt to them today. Waiting to hear back from them. Will update this post with a result of that.

Works great

Pros: charges fast and holds a charge long. It fits just like the original battery.

Cons: The only issue although minor is that the foot on the bottom is thicker than the other 3 on the bottom of my MacBook and I had to shave it down to level it .

Overall Review: it fits the late 2008 MacBook 13"

should be named freon 212

Pros: Man this thing works is all I can say. From the start it had my Athlon x2 260 Regor cool as can be at 29C. I bumped up from 3.2 to 3.5ghz no worries. It goes up to 37C after an hour of BF3. I don't hear it over the 4 120mm case fans so no change in noise, just a medium hum. (arctic 5 thermal compound)

Cons: nota one

Overall Review: Since I was installing a new board at the time, installing it was a breeze. directions are a bit fuzzy, but it has pictures lol. I have a Rosewill Destroyer case and this thing is about 3/8 " from the other side of it. So make sure you have a wide case. It lined up almost exact with the exhaust port fan so i still have a push pull so to speak. The fan just misses my first stick of ram so I had to install it before the fan.

lotsa goodies for the money here

ASRock 880GM-LE FX AM3+ AMD 880G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It has all the stuff I need and more. I like the placement of things as well. It works fine for what I need.

Cons: none at this time, works fine.

Overall Review: I read on Wikipedia that the 880G chip should work in hybrid crossfire with my HD5670. After 2 days of trying, I gave up. it is either disabled in CCC or it has a problem in Win7 dev.mngr. I may figure it out one day. It runs great with just my graphics card at 2.0x16

Great price works fine
