Most Favorable Review

My experience with it

EVGA GeForce GTX 295 1792MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 017-P3-1294-AR

Pros: Pushes most games on max settings with out a hesitation.

Cons: Not many games out that could push it hard enough that would warrant me upgrading soon. Not that thats Nvidias fault :)

Overall Review: Yes its big and hot and loves power. On that note dragsters are noisy, hot, and eat lots of gas but thats the price you pay for going fast.

Pros: Will let you know once i get a new one.

Cons: Will let you know once i get a new one.

Overall Review: If your not in a hurry purchase it here. If in a hurry buy local or else it could be 3 weeks total. The blame doesnt fall on just newegg but on UPS also. From time ordered it arrived 4 days after, only to receive it with what looked like someone dropped a bowling ball on it. The screen had a large 7"vertical crease and a 3 to 4" horizontal crack. Wish I'd bought local.

Been using it since it came out

COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V10 Hybrid TEC RR-B2P-UV10-GP 120mm CPU Cooler

Pros: Idle temps aren't where this baby shines. You can get the same idle temps with other coolers at half the price. Once you OC and game for long periods is where it pays for itself. I Have had both fans die on me and coolermaster sent me 2 replacements fast and since I had a first release they sent me a new TEC to replace the old one that wasn't as efficient. The big selling point for me was that when the fans died on me this monster still kept me cool enough to keep using my rig with the 3.8Ghz OC on my I7 920 while even gaming for the time it took me to get the replacement fans.

Cons: wished it had a 3rd fan on the back stock so that it would push pull air through the cpu fins.

Overall Review: Those that complain that this HS doesn't do it's job have either not actually owned one or got a big IRS return and bought alot of high dollar parts to experiment on their first build and had no clue what they where doing. Will this heat sink let your idle temps be ice cold ,,,, NO; but will this heat sink save your rig when it's oc'd and belting out the heat ,,,, YES.

The dreaded switch lol

Pros: simply out awsome. Cant go wrong with it.

Cons: As someone said before people complaing about no switch.

Overall Review: The internal switch on this bad boy is a noise supressor, when it is in the on position what it does is get rid of the humming sound you get when you place a rig in standby or hibernation.
