This thread may not be well to your liking, but it does have a few point of interest. First, it overclock well. Secondly, it does require 700W+ PSU or one may not have the necessary power. I found it to be very quite and during our tests it was not loud at all, and could not be heard beyond several metres from the computer. Against other threads, it perform very well. I recommend it to all and it receives the Mantralord Badge of Recommendation. Very good 8/10.
