I decided to make a quick video about it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZjR5pfr2BY I will be following up shortly with another video giving more input and things I missed in the initial review. It was ordered with the following specs.

I am concerned about the noise of the unit at 100% cpu usage and over clock. What is the db level?

Hi, I have not done any measurements as far as that goes. I can just comment on what I hear personally. Its a very quiet system overall. I cant peg the cpu stock right now while gaming as it is.

Now testing the cpu stock and bringing it to its knees at 100% benching using Aida 64 Extreme FPU test alone. It gets VERY LOUD but that is a unrealistic test imo and absolute worst case scenerio pushing the cpu to its max stock. 

That test will bring any cpu to its knees and make it cry!
