Not too bad. However, this review seemed fairly laid back or something, much more casual. Not necessarily a bad thing. Also, when talking about test setup and method, you should say how long you let it sit for idle and load. I know you photoed that into your screenshots, but I prefer it all being stated before the testing screenies. That's personal preference though. Besides that, nice job :)

Edit: Upon a more thorough reading, I'm sorry to say I've come to dislike it :( You misspelled necessarily and necessary. I really feel you should spell out everything fully instead of using all of those abbreviations. You should have capitalized Ballistix. The overall organization seemed off and it just doesn't seem to flow. This is not a flame or anything of the sort. I just have a bit of a habit of stating things very bluntly.
 
I'm going to have to agree... The review only took a couple of hours for Nick to fully test and complete, doesn't seem long enough to be a solid official review.

we just wanna make ure u put ur all into it mate, we are trying to keep oc3d review standards high as to get maximum good publicity.

ill look at it again when I get home.
 
Woohoo. :) Sorry about before guys, really. Yesterday I was really tired, and I know that's no excuse, but I guess I was getting a bit frustrated too.

I'll try to keep them up to par from now on, and if I become tired/frustrated I'll stop and continue later on.

Alrighty guys, I edited it AGAIN. The first time I was at school, in my CAD class :p.

I'm at home now and IMO it came out 10x better :D

I'll check it out in the morning mate :)

I think what we should ALL of us reviewers should do from now on is get another member of the review team to read the review over before it goes live.

could also put together a team of people in here to read reviews before they go live to get a broader spectrum of opinions.

That's why I have Kemp look over ALL of my work (well, when he's available) before it goes live ;) (yep, he checks all my news for the most part)

And usually its pretty much fine :)
 
Eh?

It may have been me but not on purpose - I do tend to click on the titles randomly and its sooo easy to change them by mistake with this VB ;)
 
Haha, ya I had been wondering about that. So you got your happy XP-90 installed with the bolt-through? (I noticed you asking about that on XS)
 
have been using the ultra90 for some time now and have mostly good to say about it.

the only downside i have encountered is i cant install/remove the psu with it in as i could with a zalman 7000b but as it uses the standard retention bracket its very easy to remove and install.

another downside is its quite high so might not fit into smaller cases but fits just fine in my antec sonata case.

its so big and so efficient im sure i could run it without any fan at all.

have a 90mm everflow on it at the moment and it pushes 30cfm at 1350rpm and cools the cpu to 41c and expect it to drop alittle as the as5 is less than 4 hours old.

also the ultra90 has been discontinued and replaced with a ultra90a which is slightly smaller, 7mm to be exact to be compatible with more cases and is supposed to performe the same.
