Good Stuff!

Acer XB270H Abprz Black 27" 1ms (GTG) 144HZ Widescreen LED Backlight LCD G-SYNC Monitor, 300 cd/m2, USB Hub, 1000:1
Acer XB270H Abprz Black 27" 1ms (GTG) 144HZ Widescreen LED Backlight LCD G-SYNC Monitor, 300 cd/m2, USB Hub, 1000:1

Pros: I researched everything going into the purchase of this monitor so I can say I have no issues with it being 1080 or a TN panel. There was no bleed and no dead pixels on mine. G-sync is amazzzing. All good news. I was skeptical of the high price tag vs how well G-sync works "went in blind". Happy i pulled the trigger.

Cons: None.

Trouble

ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler

Pros: Does it's job and keeps CPU cool. Like the design. And it is quiet.

Cons: Very frustrating install for AM3+ motherboard. The screws are not long enough so you will need pliers and bend the brackets down.

Overall Review: Design flaw. AM3+ bracket could have been lowered or they could include longer screws to reach the inserts. Shouldn't have to bend things to get it to fit. Almost felt like I was going to break my motherboard or CPU installing it.

Pros: Finally died on me after about 7 months of use. Forced me to buy a new sabertooth. Now I no longer have any problems. Feels good. Just replaced the board and puff...all is well.

Cons: BSOD................................ all the freaking time. Random ones since I've had it. Not even going to try and collect on warranty. Going in the trash were it belongs.
