Pros: *Very cool at 34 degrees Celsius on idle, compared to my Intel Stock Cooler at 45+ degrees Celsius. *Very cool at 53 degrees Celsius on load, compared to my Intel Stock Cooler at 67+ degrees Celsius. *Very quiet, even when the CPU was on load. *Excellent RAM clearance. *Very compact and did not interfered with any of my other PC components.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone NOT overclocking and wants a very decent cooler at stock CPU settings, along with anyone that are using a Micro-ATX PC case. This CPU Cooler will not disappoint you. :)

Pros: The ease of plugging in and plugging out. The cord felt strong, yet was not stiff, hence the possibilities of bending the cord for your needs. Very easy and simplistic to use. Did I mention how easy it was to use this?

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I used this on my EVGA Z97 Classified Motherboard on my PC Case Coolermaster Mastercase Pro 5, since the bottom right USB 3.0 header was not properly angled and was to tight for the PC case's motherboard cable management hole. This simplistic extension cable give me so much relief, to the point where I was no longer reconsidering a new case just because of my incompatibility issue with my PC components.

Pros: *Excellent 1440p 60-90 fps gaming experience. *Excellent 1080p 90-144 fps gaming experience. *8GBs of RAM for games that uses 4GB+ textures. *Card temperatures never went over 80 degrees Celsius when gaming. *Despite the GPU Load at 100% with only fan speeds at 65% average. *Very quiet fans that turns off when idle or in low-load activities. *Power watt consumption is surprisingly low at 200 watts average while gaming about 5-8 hours. The biggest consumption I have seen is only near 250 watts. I have never seen this card's consumption went over 300 watts (It probably has, but it's rare to see it even go near 270 watts for an real-time instance).

Cons: *Overclocking limitations, despite the manufacturer's excellent fan cooling solution. *However despite the cooling solution, the GPU's design does take up 2.5 expansion slots on PC cases. Buyers that intends to purchase another one of the Sapphire GPU for Crossfire configurations should reconsider their motherboard's available PCI-E slots, and the available expansion slots of their PC's case(Especially ITX PC cases with only 2 expansion slots). *Minor: The length of the card can limit the options of users that want to put it in smaller form factor PC cases. *The GPU's Blackplate can block certain motherboard's components, such as the EVGA Z97 Classified Motherboard's rear IO heatsink cover that is optional to install. ---------- The following being listed are not the GPU's hardware cons, but rather, its supported driver's software. Until AMD has launch a patch to these issues, I will not edit them: *Past Crimson drivers would crash and restart, causing a temporary black screen. Currently fixed with the present Crimson drivers. *Freesync/V-sync that causes PC freezes/crashes when toggling the V-sync option in video settings while in-game for many games, such as StarCraft 2 LOTV. *Freesync is not supported on all games and is automatically disabled when launching certain games, such as Dying Light, despite being an open standard on DisplayPort. Rarely, the game would crash during in-game as well.

Overall Review: Many internet users bashed this card as a R9 290 rebrand when this GPU was released. However, this card runs much cooler, consumes less noticeable power/wattages, can push out more clock speed, has more noticeable FPS, and has 4GBs more RAM than its Hawaii R9 290 Predecessor. Do not listen to those that bash this card's existence, for it is a powerful GPU and a great product that has pushed over beyond the R9 290's limitations. I bought this GPU during Black Friday, and I do not regret buying it. Most users are only able to overclock their GPU Clock Speed near and below 1100 MHz. Please understand that this is due to nature of the GPU's Grenada architecture from Hawaii, so it is really rare to actually overclock the GPU Clock Speed over 1100 MHz and to near 1200 MHz for many R9 390 overclockers. My card's GPU Clock Speed only runs stable at 1088 MHz overclock and any higher than 1090 MHz would cause instabilities/crashes. The Overclock on Memory Speed at 1600 MHz is stable on most R9 390s and anymore can also be more unstable. The default factory clock/memory speeds by the manufacturers are already stable enough. Only overclock this GPU if you want the sweet spot for your FPS. If you are trying to overclock your GPU and you begin to reach instabilities on your monitor, I would highly recommend lowing your overclocks. It is not worth damaging your GPU if you try pushing it too much. The fan cooler can suppress the GPU's temperatures, but instabilities comes the GPU's architecture. Yes, I do recommend this GPU, despite the cons I have listed. I do own the R9 285 and it doesn't exhibit any of these Crimson driver problems that existed with the R9 285.

Pros: *Excellent build quality. *5 year warranty. *Noticeable faster transfer-speed than most regular 7200 RPM HDDs when reading/writing large files that I have used in the past (such as transferring 10GBs or 50GBs of storage).

Cons: *None.

Overall Review: Are HDDs faster than SSDs? Of course not. But does it have more value for storage per price than SSDs? Definitely. This is an excellent storage device for most of your needs, whether they are photos, videos, games, or workstation software(s). I operate my PC mostly during the day and night, and this HDD is doing just fine. I would highly recommend this HDD.

Pros: *It's really fast. For example, my games stored on this SSD are loading so fast that in multiplayer games, I am usually one of the few online players to completely load first in-game before gameplay.

Cons: *It's only 480GB.

Overall Review: First, I would like to state the following: There are actual no performance benefits to games, only loading time. Please don't buy this SSD or other SSDs, expecting real gameplay performance gains, as that is what a GPU is for. In fact, I would actually recommend for those that want storage for gaming to buy a HDD with 1TB or more for storage instead of an SSD, and put more money from your budget onto your GPU/Video Card instead. The only reason I wanted to buy an SSD instead of a HDD is because I had the budget to buy both, a powerful GPU and SSD for the best gaming experience with quick loading screens. Regardless, I really wish there was a 1TB model instead because otherwise, as I would have bought the 1TB model for more storage for my games instead, as the 480GB model is already getting full of games fast. Yes, I would recommend this SSD.

Pros: *.....But however, despite accidentally dropping it, it still works fine. EXCELLENT BUILD QUALITY. *Fast. Really fast. *Easy to use SSD toolbox software.

Cons: *Original Retail Price.

Overall Review: I bought this during Black Friday and I didn't regret buying it. Despite this however, I would recommend to people that plans to purchase these Intel SSD series to wait until it goes on sale again before purchasing this, as there are other MLC SSDs on the market that has a much bigger value for Price/GBs.

I don't have much to say since everything went smooth. Keep up the good work!

Item was shipped as described and came in as pristine condition. Highly recommended seller.
