Pros: Very Fast Easy to install easy to overclock

Cons: Retail fan is load. I started to RMA it, but did not want to unistall the CPU. Used Newegg's live chat and Vanna said that if I did not want to RMA the whole thing I could call AMD for a fan replacement. Called AMD at 408-749-3060. I was told that they have had occurances of people calling about load fans. Told the fans run off of magnets and sometime get out of allignment during shipping. Told to turn off the comp, and firmly push the fan in toward the CPU. That did the trick. The fan is minimal volume at high speeds. Hope this helps.

Overall Review: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition CPU Antec Lanboy Case ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 AMD 785G Motherboard SUPER TALENT 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 SDRAM SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4860 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Video Thermaltake Purepower 500W ATX 12v2.2 PS

Pros: Great performance Affordable

Cons: Insufficient heat dissipation even with twin fans

Overall Review: If you buy this graphics card, be prepared to upgrade all your case fans to high performance fans to dissipate the heat the graphics card generates. Also would be advisable to add optional fans if you case has expansion for it. Note to manufacturer...create a fan assembly that drives the heat out the back of the case rather than into the case. This seems to me to be a no brainer and easy enough to do. Create a plastic cover that connects to the back of the case so the fans will drive the heat out the back instead of into the case.

Pros: Great card...plays all the games that I play at an Ultra setting with no issues. Newegg's service and shipping are terrific!

Cons: Rebate program: I sent in the paperwork along with the Newegg invoice. I get an email stating I am missing documentation - no legible invoice, receipt, or packing slip. At the bottom of the email it states to email or call with questions. So, I email XFX to find out what the issue is. I get an email back stating I have to call. (runaround?) I call XFX and speak with a rep that puts me on hold for about 5 min and then tells me the systems are down and that I need to call back later. (runaround?) So I gave up. Using a rebate to get people to by your product with no intent to issue the rebate is wrong.

Pros: Fast and easy to install Started up with no issues.

Cons: None

Pros: Works as it should

Cons: None
