Asus P5Q PRO Turbo Core 2 Quad/ Intel P45/ DDR2-1300/ A&GbE/ ATX Motherboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently started to actually review stuff. I've been looking more and more at reviews when making purchases. So, tell folks what you think about stuff. Now on to this board. Great board for 775 socket, DDR2 ram. Their software interact directly with the bios. You can actually overclock from the desktop. I still went old school, but you can do it that way too. I stuffed a fairly meaty DDR5 vid card into it, flawless. Oced the ram just a bit, no problems. Got more than a gig extra out of cpu, no problem. In fact, no problems with anything. It's just a great board, with all sorts of extras.

Asus's tech support seem to be a combination of Shaggy, and Gilligan...so hopefully you won't have to disguise a coconut cream pie as a scooby snack to get them to try to answer a question. I asked two different guys the same question. One actually said, "unplug it (from the wall), and wait. Then plug it back in". Thanks Gillaggy, but those changes are kinda what the battery on the CMOS prevents. Pretty colors, and warm fuzzy sounds are great for group therapy, but not tech support. This was my second go around with Asus's 'tech support'. Should have known better.

Zalman CPU Fan With 70mm Fan LED (CNPS9500 LED-CU) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cooler is the perfect way to keep your system quiet.I have a AMD FX2 CPU and I've had six different coolers/fans to try to keep my computer as quiet as possible.I recently purchased a high-end graphics card with passive (no fan) cooling and this made the situation worse because the CPU fan was having to pick up the slack and move more heat.

Zalman has a great reputation and I thought this fan might do the trick.

It did.

My system is whisper quiet, even when I tax the CPU heavily and the video card, -even at the same time.I never thought my computer could be so quiet.

Some things to keep in mind.

1) Take your time, read the instructions, and be careful of the fins, they're sharp.
2) Make sure you face the fan in the right direction, it's not in the logical direction you might think.In my case the fan is on the far side of the back of the case and you might think otherwise when you first look at it.
3) Instructions need to followed if your installation is going to work.It's a bit of a puzzle, especially if you only use the printed instructions.
4) I strongly recommend you USE THE ZALMAN WEB SITE for help with the installation.Go to their web site, find this cooler in their product list, and once you're at this product's web site you'll find an installation tab with a very, very good animated installation guide.
5) Be sure you select your correct CPU for instructions, the Intel and AMD instructions are VERY different (due to the way they mount to a motherboard).

Considering the cost, and the 30 minutes to install, I think this fan is worth the time and effort and cost.

An excellent product!
