EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Limited Lifetime Warranty Graphics Card,


Love it!, (What's this?) replaced my old Nvidia 260 series with this and WOW, runs anything I throw at it flawlessly. Only down side is I had to replace my power supply with a bigger one. Other than the price I don't see a down side.
Evga GTX 580 x (2) Rocks!, I upgraded from (2) evga gtx 480's to (2) of these evga gtx 580s, what a difference. My case is quieter, faster, and kicks a$$ and takes names.
Well, why are you still reading this, order now. 2 of these are better, cooler, and more productive than (1) gtx 590. I have had these running
now for 6 months, they will crush any game I throw at them, period.
Excellent card., I've had this now for 6 months. The price hasn't dropped or I would of bought another for SLI. Everything I've played I have been able to max out.
Fast, though a bit pricey, (What's this?) This is a fairly fast card with enough memory to run most any game. Though I am happy with the card overall, the price for an AR (lifetime warranty) may be a bit steep for some and I am still not convinced that it has been worth it yet. We'll see. As for other things, I miss the NView multi-desktop support that I had with previous NVIDIA cards on XP64, this to me out of everything cost the card a 5-star rating. oh well, perhaps MS will see the light, one of these days.
GREAT GTX 580 - LONG, CHECK SPECS ON YOUR CASE, (What's this?) I've been using for about 3 months now on a new rig and have not looked back. I was having trouble with some games on my old rig. And this just breezes threw anything I throw at it. I have about 500 games (about 20 loaded at any given time) and my computer runs 24/7. Runs a little warm but good to go. Never had a problem.

Great video card.., (What's this?) I am extremely happy with my purchase of the EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB video card. I have changed all my games to display everything possible (shadows, textures, etc...) without any lag. Windows 7 information bench mark gives this card a 7.9 in both Graphics and Gaming Graphics (this is the hightest score Windows can give).

Note: The card runs around 124F and the fan run's at 1500 RPM.
great, (What's this?) Everything went smoothly. It arrived on time and was everything the description said it would be. I was very satisfied.
Battlefield 3 Ready !, (What's this?) I got this card just so I could play Battlefield 3 and it is working great. My first concern was installing it into my Dell XPS, but it has been problem free. The Dell power supply is very conservatively rated and so the card is running fine. The GTX580 is also quiet compared to the computer, so I don't get any added fan noise. Needless to say the graphics are beautiful on this high end card.
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5, THIS CARD IS A BEAST!!!

    Evga GeForce GT 430 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 DVI/HDMI/VGA Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1430-LR


    Nice Card for what I need, (What's this?) Glad I picked this card to replace old video card that finally died. Graphics look great for what I need, But I am not a gamer.
    Excellent, (What's this?) Arrived on time, was a snap to install. I purchased a Used:Like New Amazon fulfillment. It was bubble wrapped and came with all the expected pieces. Overall a great buy.

    The card itself is absolutely perfect for what I wanted, Plays MineCraft at maximum specs, Plays UT2004, Oblivion and various other games at max as well. I just wanted a casual gaming card for classic games and that's what I got.
    good video card, (What's this?) I really didn't need this much power but I run a 2 monitor system and the stock system only took 1 modem.
    Great Card, (What's this?) This card has performed great in my machine. The graphics were a very good improvement. It does run slightly hotter than my last card, but that's not too surprising and is easily handled with the side open and a fan running to keep it cooled.
    WOW LOL, (What's this?)
    Not good for latest games, It does not handle Battlefield 3 that well. Playable but not very efficient. I have a system Inter E8400 , 4 gb ram and this video card.
    The icing on my PC upgrade cake, (What's this?) In less than 10 minutes I opened the Case, took out the Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS with 512 MB, and installed this new GeForce GT 430 with 1GB DDR3. As soon as I turned on the PC again, Windows downloaded the most recent driver (the one in the CD is already "old") and I started working again. It operates a litlle bit cooler than the previous and it has an HDMI CABLE and High Definition Audio Drivers (for those that like gaming or watchiong movies from the computer I guess is a good thing). This card did have a significative effect on the overall performance of the PC, even though my motherboard has a PCIe V1 slot and not a PCIe V2 (backward compatibility). I'm going to post the Windows 7 performance evaluations from before and after the Graphics card change, so this difference can be better expressed.
    If anyone can see the sequence of changes in three reviews and images I posted today (memory, disk and graphic card upgrade) will probably get a better idea, on how to stretch your PC lifetime a little bit longer for much less money than just buying a new PC.
    EVGA Rules!, (What's this?) I have recently added this to my HTPC to take some load off the motherboard. Super quiet, tight form factor, works perfectly, HD, Blueray, Gaming. Evga has never let me down.
    Have bought it and I TOTALLY LOVE IT!, (What's this?)
    Unable to make further purchase on Amazon.com!, (What's this?) I saved approx. $10.00 (before the rebate) & the hassle of dealing with pushy retail salespeople by purchasing on Amazon. This was my first Amazon purchase & I am impressed. The Free super saver shipping was pretty fast (was shipped 12/17...received 12/22.) I did not use the EVGA drivers, but installed the latest drivers off Nvidia's site w/o any issues. The fan runs whisper quiet & I am impressed with its graphics performance. I am not using it for gaming (yet), but for SecondLife (virtual 3-d world heavy on graphics)...

    VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5450 512 MB DDR4 PCI Express Graphics Card 900311 (Black with Red)


    Not a DDR4 Card - it is a DDR3 card, (What's this?) The price is kind of low for a DDR4 card so I used the supplied software to check the system information and sure enough it is a 512 MB DDR3 card and not a DDR4 card.

    As I watch streaming videos and do not play the newest games, this card works well for my needs.
    Good card for right application, (What's this?) At under 30 bones, this is a good deal on a decent card. Despite being fanless, it stays fairly cool (50's celcius) under light gaming. This is *light* gaming: don't expect this card to run the newer games well - it will not. But it's a great card for HTPC applications, and it doesn't force you to upgrade your power supply if you have a lesser/older rig.
    Perfect for what I need, (What's this?) Perfect for my needs. I bought this card specifically for a dual monitor set-up. Opened up my CPU case, plugged in this card, booted up the computer, loaded drivers and was all done.
    Perfect addition for my HTPC, (What's this?) I was very frustrated with my motherboard, because though it had 6 channel audio and an HDMI port, it would only send stereo over my HDMI! Grrrr!

    Since I have a 7.1 surround system, I figured I might as well upgrade to a card that can output 8 channels, but not break the bank. At under $30, this card did the job perfectly! Most of my videos have been ripped from DVD, though some Blu-Rays too; this card has flawlessly streamed full surround at 1080(i, I think, maybe p; I can't tell the difference honestly). Streaming media is great too.

    Dedicated HTPC, so can't attest to gaming graphics.

    Crucial CT2CP25664AC800 4GB PC2-6400 2GBx2 200-Pin CL6 Unbuffered DDR2-800 SODIMM RAM Kit


    Excellent product, Easy to install.... Dell XPS m1530, Used this exact RAM to upgrade my Dell XPS M1530 from 3 to 4GB (actually calculates out to 3.5 GB). This RAM install was simple... open the door (unscrew), slide the old RAM out, slide the new RAM Cards in and then power back on. Very simple, cheap, and made a noticeable change in my overall usage.

    I use my XPS a LOT. I typically have 30 windows open, along with mail, and office. I've noticed less hang ups and the XPS is running a bit faster.
    Works For Dell Latitude D630, (What's this?) My Dell Latitude D630 came with 2GBs of DDR2 Ram: specifically Hynix 2x1 GB 2Rx16 PC2-5300S module which works fine most of the time. However, with avast running in the background sometimes it get bugged down when I am downloading large files such as during Metastock data updates. Following this upgrade everything now runs smoothly regardless of how many programs I am running simultaneously.

    My laptop runs Windows XP Professional 32 bits. That of course means that my system only sees 3.49GBs of the 4GBs installed memory. The only way to get the laptop to see the entire installed 4GBs of ram is to upgrade to 64 bits operating system such as windows XP 64 bits or Windows 7 64 bits. Nevertheless, I am happy with the performance of my laptop as it is now.

    NB: Upgrading the memory in Dell laptops can be a pain for a non-techie especially the Inspiron and Latitude series. This is because Dell engineers in their infinite wisdom decided to hide module A ram under the keyboard of all places. To get to it you must remove the keyboard. There is a youtube video posted by a user named iftibashir. The title of the post is "Upgrading RAM in a Dell Notebook". It is 8.05 minutes long and clearly shows how to do this even if you are not a geek. Hope this helps.
    Got the best RAM for less., (What's this?) I have worked with computers since 1978. Always had nothing but perfect results with Crucial ram.
    Crucial 4GB RAM, (What's this?) So far everything's been running really well. Extremely easy to install, all I had to do was put the new ones in and it worked from the get-go. No installation of software or anything else. Really easy to install if you know what you're doing. Everything's been sped up. No more crashing of ITunes or Minecraft. My games run a lot faster. It's worth the buy.
    do what it suppose too., (What's this?) the price is all right comes with free shipping. this product does what its suppose to do nothing great doesnt over heat. i give it a 4 star because theres nothing wrong with it. overall i think i recommend it but i think you can find it cheaper somewhere. i was just in a hurry to get it so i bought it from amazo because i can return it easily if theres something wrong with it unlike ebay's sellers.
    No problems, (What's this?)
    Mixed RAM Speeds, (What's this?) I installed just one of the 200-pin, 800 MHz Crucial 2GB chip sets alongside the existing 1GB chip set that came with my HP laptop. The existing 1GB chip was 667 MHz. There weren't any problems with the machine recognizing the new chip set. The Task Manager shows that I now have 3.1 GB RAM. So what if mixing of speeds makes this faster chip run at the 667 speed? I got a good deal and shared the other 2GB with a friend. My computer is faster than ever, and multi-tasks better, with the additional memory in my 32-bit Windows operating system.
    Good memory replacement for Latitude D620 laptop, (What's this?) After doing a little bit of research, I settled on this 4G RAM replacement kit.

    I believe it arrived fairly quickly, even though I had selected the free shipping option. That's always a good thing.

    I followed illustrated on-line instructions posted by some good soul to enable me to get to both locations of the RAM modules. The one under the keyboard is the hard one to get to. Those faint of heart may chose the installation to be done by a trained technician.

    Once the new RAM was in (upgrade from 2G originally installed) the laptop booted up with no problems, and Windows recognized the new RAM configuration.
    It's RAM, (What's this?) So, this is pretty standard RAM, works like it's supposed to and the price wasn't bad. Don't have much more to review on it.
    Exactly As Advertised., (What's this?) There is not a lot to say about this RAM. If you are here looking for it, you probably know what you are buying. This is 2x2GB sticks of DDR2 RAM. I received it in two days via Amazon Prime and threw it in my sister-in-laws old laptop to speed it up. The speed increase was immediate of course, since Windows Vista can barely run on 2GB of RAM. I experienced no memory errors or any other problems at all. No reason to doubt the quality of this product.

  • CT2KIT25664AC80E

  • Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400.CT2KIT25664AC80E. Go faster and further with a notebook or netbook memory upgrade from Crucial.

    Corsair Cooling Hydro-Series All-in-One High-Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CWCH60


    Fan controller DOA, (What's this?) Well I thought I would be able to dodge the well known "fan controller defect" that is plastered all over corsairs forums BUT it appeared fate had different plans.

    The pump worked fine, but the fans would come on full blast and gradually die down in speed. No amount of button pressing would change the fan speed. I tried multiple times to reset the firmware per corsairs instructions to no avail.

    I decided to get a replacement going through Amazon because of the shipping costs I would have to pay to send a DOA product with a KNOWN defect by Corsair back to them...sorry guys not happening.

    The best advice I can give to future buyers of this product is to test test test it before you even think about anything else. It will save you alot of pain.
    Works Great, (What's this?) If I were go water cool a system again I wouldn't buy a kit like this. I would just buy a radiator and plumb it all with my own equipment, simply for flexibility. Overall as bolt on kit this product is great. It was easy to install following their instructions and worked great right away, much cooler than previous air cooler and pretty quiet.
    good but noisy, (What's this?) I bought this because we need low noise. I still do not know if this is the right unit for that.
    Pros: * very good cooling, you definitely do not need it if you do not plan for overclocking..
    * relatively easy installation (if you have easy access to the back of your motherboard)
    * supposed maintenance-free for a long time ( did not have to check a chance to check it as yet)
    Cons:
    * my unit is noisy (the water pump, fans are ok), considerably nosier than a typical double bearing 120mm fan. I still hope it is a manufacturer defect. I called to the tech support. They advised me to put the computer on the side for some time. It helps a bit. But the noise is back when I placed my computer in the normal position.
    * tech support is weird/not good. I easily got it for the first time, but could not get through after that. A few people in the customer support promised me that the support guys will be available "tomorrow" for several times. But every time "tomorrow" was "tomorrow" again.
    Good cooler, (What's this?) This cooler keeps my over clocked cpu cold. I have it installed in the corsair 600t case. The radiator is mounted above my mother board. and the fans are in the area above, they are set up as pull only but seems to work fine. still keeps cpu cold.
    Nice and quitet, (What's this?) My first water cooler cools my i7 2600K. Very quiet and efficient. The temps never go beyond 40. It was very easy to install with the included hardware.
    H100, sleek, quiet, cool, (What's this?) I bought the H100 not for performance, but rather for its sleekness. I recently bought a Corsair White 600T and wanted to match the outside looks on the inside.

    I knew that this cooler performs just as well, but not way better than a $25 air cooler, but the sleekness and noise level were too hard to pass up.

    The unit is easy to install, the rear mounting bracket has everything on it already, all you have to do is line up the holes. Then, you screw in some riser pegs on the inside to secure the mounting bracket. Then you install the radiator. With my case, the 600T, the fans had to remain on the "outside," within the gap between the case and the removable filter, while the radiator was "inside" the case. The included screws were plenty long enough. The wires for the fans were also more than long enough to pass through the opening on the grated case and down to the CPU cooler block. The CPU cooler/water pump block then attached to the riser pegs and you secure it down using thumb screws. The CPU block has thermal grease pre-applied.

    I do wish that the thumbscrews had indents for using a screwdriver, there is very little clearance for people who have thick fingers to try and turn these screws. I have an ASRrock P67 Extreme4, and with all the capacitors and heatsinks around the processor, it was a tight fit with my slender fingers. (I would say I have more feminine type fingers). Due to the motherboard, there was not enough clearance for the radiator and fans to be on the "inside" of the case. And due to my choice, I had the fans pulling air across the radiator, so it would exhaust outside the case, I know this isn't the most efficient method, but I felt like I would rather have it done this way.

    I took off a star because the first one I got suffered from a problem that seems to plague many Corsair closed loop systems. It began to make a loud mechanical grinding/whirring noise that seemed to originate from the water pump block. It was very loud and noticeable.
    great product, (What's this?) works great. mounted in fractal design case that has 2 drive bays, each holding 4 hard drives. the upper one is removable and h80 radiator fits there like it was designed for it. tubing is not highly bent as with rear or top intake.
    Buy it!, The H80 is excellent! It cools approximately as well as H100 and is much smaller/manageable. (Check out this review for specs: [...]) It is loud on power-up (it goes to 100% and then scales back) but becomes quiet quickly. I have my H80 over my i5-2500K in a Corsair 600T with dual HD 6950s and a 1000w PSU and it keeps my CPU cool. Usually runs around 18 - 25 C and haven't gotten anything higher than 35C when playing Crysis 2 or Portal 2 on ultra settings.

    Installation is pretty easy as well. All in all, I'd recommend it to anyone interested in liquid cooling.
    lemon, (What's this?) "pop" and then the controller and one fan went out leaving the one other fan constant running at high / noise level. it is cooling pretty well but it is not working as it should as it can not adjust the fan speed and that came from the first start up. it took me several hours to replace my cooler master v-8 and get my case fans changed around and clean up my wiring so i will just live with this unit because of all the trouble it took me and i do not want to take it out and swap for a replacement or wait for some other brand to come in before i can use my system again - like i said, it is at least cooling ! this is my first corsair, i hope this was just a lemon but i get on and see this product is now in review from amazon and can't buy it at this time. i will probably stick with cooler master again for my cpu cooling choice.
    WORKS!!, (What's this?) Bought this for an i7-2700k build. Ran flawlessly right out of the box, quiet too. I havent done any overclocking yet but temps idle around 31-32c load about 45c. Packaging was nice and not banged up, for $75.00 cant beat it plus it is a simple and clean install.

  • Quick and easy installation brackets make it easier than ever to upgrade to watercooling.
  • Pre-applied thermal compound
  • A new improved micro-channel cold-plate design more efficiently transfers heat.
  • The H60 uses FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) tubing to significantly reduce evaporation of coolant, providing an MTBF of over 50,000 hours

    Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD Platforms


    Excellent!, Works great. I stress tested the memory for 4+ hours at 96% capacity on a Gigabyte Ga-880ga board with Phenom II x4 BE with no errors. Fast delivery on free shipping! Runs fast and I had no problems with installation or bad products.
    Solid performance, (What's this?) Installed RAM on Asus M5A99x EVO motherboard/AMD Phenom II and had no problems. I only changed the setting in the bios to 1600 MHz.
    I'm sure it's great, but mine are broken,
    good performance, (What's this?) Good memory, very impressive, love it. It ran cool and in good perfomance at all time. I will always recommend any one to buy corsair. Very god company...
    Excelent Memory, (What's this?)
    Great deal, (What's this?) Geat deal to get 8gb for $50. With that said, the heat sinks are very tall, very cheap and very flimsy. I removed them (stuck on with double sided sticky tape) and the sticks actually stay cooler without them since my side fans blow directly on them.
    Fast, (What's this?) Memory WPI is 7.8. And it also increased other WPI by 0.1-0.2 (I guess) due to the faster RAM... as long as you clock it at 1600MHz.
    Does what it's supposed to, (What's this?) Corsair has been my brand of choice for computer memory for many years now. I recently purchased a total of 16GB of this Vengeance RAM (in Black) and I couldn't be more satisfied. The sticks look good and the heat-sinks do what they are supposed to. I bought a total of 4 sticks (4GB each) so eight 'clicks' later my hackintosh is running smooth and faster than before and combined with a Crucial M4 128GB SSD, it's opening up photoshop in 3 seconds flat. With 16GB on board there's always memory to spare no matter how many applications I have open at a given time. I no longer feel the need to close any applications.
    PC3 12800 memory set, (What's this?) Excellent product for video and graphics editing. No issues found during installation and configuration in an AM3+ motherboard based Ubuntu 11.
    Ram for ballers, (What's this?) This was a fantastic value. 8GB of 1600mhz in DDR3 from a reputable company is awesome. I suppose ram of this caliber will become more available to those who don't mind throwing down to build a serious gaming machine but are budget conscious as even faster ram is coming out on the market. This is top notch stuff either way. Any faster ram at this point in the game and you'll see only minor marginal performance differences for a lot more money.

    GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard


    Good mobo, (What's this?) This thing does everything I need and more, at a good price. If I wanted to go Crossfire I could, and the FSB won't give me any trouble with bottlenecking any time soon. No regrets here.
    Very Nice Board! All Sata III and no Intergrated Graphics!, (What's this?) Just installed this in my new build with a Phenom II x4 955 3.2Ghz Black Edition! This board features 6 SATA III onboard ports, 2 rear USB 3.0 ports, and support for 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 front ports! I chose an 8Gb Kingston Hyper X Blue Ram kit.
    I like it, it's nice... you can't have it back!, (What's this?) I bought this motherboard for my recent build. I chose it mostly because it's a fairly new release (2011) and boasts compatibility with AMD's AM3+ CPUs. I noticed it has an AMD 970 and SB950 chipset, for Northbridge and Southbridge respectively.
    Excellent Motherboard at Great price!, (What's this?) After doing some research on what motherboard would best suit me, i ran across this particular model. In my price range, with a lot to offer. I recently built my system, with the amd PII,x4 955. And i can say it runs very well along with the PNY 8gb ram, no compatibility issues with those either.

    I know there are not a lot of reviews out there about this model, so i felt compelled to chip in. So don't hesitate on this board, it is actually quite good for what it offers.

    pros:
    -am3+ (and able to accept that new amd cpu, bulldozer i think is what the kids say it is these days:))
    -6 sata ports
    -plethora of usb's all over, even some 3.0
    -1 fan port for CPU, and 4 additional fan inputs.
    -price!
    -booted up first try!
    -up to 32gigs of RAM!

    cons
    -price??
    -second pci-e slot is x4, so not really a contender for sli or crossfire...
    Great brand and good layout, The heat sink layouts on the board allow plenty of clearance for my large dual-fan CPU cooler and graphics card. The extra USB ports are nice. Also they put a protective cap over the 1394 firewire pins to prevent accidental placement of a usb header on it which would fry any motherboard.

    Website is easy to use for downloading drivers and software. Has a lot of extra utilities although I didn't use them.

    Wish it had real hardware RAID instead of FakeRAID. Also only 2 USB3.0 ports built-in and 2 more available via pin-out. 6 built-in would have been nice. Upon first boot the system copied the main bios to the backup bios. All 6 sata ports point horizontal with the motherboard which can cause a tight fit in some cases.

    Got it for under $100 at the time here on Amazon so a great deal.
    Good, basic, solid motherboard, (What's this?) This isn't the ultimate gaming platform but it is a solid choice for a nice mid-range system build. Using Corsair DDR3 RAM and an AMD 955 black edition phenom II X4 this is a quick machine. There is only one PCIe-16x slot so no crossfire/SLI configurations (this is why this isn't a real gaming platform).
    works, (What's this?) I purchased this to replace a Gigabyte GA-880M-DH2 motherboard that was DOA, I did not intent to get another Gigabyte product but somehow messed up when ordering and got this board.
    Average, (What's this?) The reason I gave an average rating... does not have x2 16 PCI channels. Not really for crossfire build. However, if you just want 1 GPU its alright. The manual mixes ups with the front port cabling... Recommend just reading description from the actual cable itself. Hard to discern which SATA ports are 6.0's or 3.0's.
    Great Mid-Range AMD Mobo, (What's this?) Purchased this mobo after doing a good amount of research to go with AMD Phenom II X4 960T and 16GB Corsair DDR3 1333 RAM inside a NZXT Elite Source 210 case and have to say that I am very pleased so far.
    Good Basic Mobo, (What's this?) This is the 2nd 900 series AMD board I've used and so far they have been great. One of the things I like about this board is that it has 3 fan connectors in right places for my CM-690 case so I don't have the have too many fans running of molex connectors.
