EVGA 152-HW-E878-KR LGA 1150 Intel Z87 Classified SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 152-HW-E878-KR LGA 1150 Intel Z87 Classified SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: 2-3-4 way SLI, DDR3 2666+, Bluetooth V2.1, Dual Ethernet ports,Sound Blaster audio, 6 Native 3.0 ports and 6 2.0 Ports, Great board layout and evga quality you cant go wrong with this MB.

Cons: Needs Bio update to work properly, it was a little bit tuff as it is a windows enabled update and unit would not start up. Contacted tech support and they walked me though it and in about half a hour it was up and running.

Overall Review: using this with 4790k and it works perfect, love the look and performance with evga expert tech department looking forward to bench marking again. Note, I think most people that have had problems have given up too quickly as help is always there at evga tech department. this was my third build using evga MB and still believe they are some of the best equipment on the market today.

Thermaltake Toughpower Grand TPG-1200M 1200 W ATX 12V v2.3 & EPS 12V v2.92 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Modular design, long cables, nice looking and well built, very consistent power output. Like that the fan remains on until power supply cools down after use.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Useing this with 3-way sli and physics card works great holds consists power output even on long overclocking sessions. Had lost two previous power supplies while trying to overclock system.

Noctua NH-D14

Noctua NH-D14, Premium CPU Cooler with Dual NF-P14 PWM and NF-P12 PWM Fans (Brown)
Noctua NH-D14, Premium CPU Cooler with Dual NF-P14 PWM and NF-P12 PWM Fans (Brown)

Pros: It's cooling ability is better than the H70 that it replaced. Very happy with the noise level, as you can not here it, compared again with the stock fans on the H70. H70 under load 63 degrees C at 80 F room temp. NH-D14 under load 52 degrees C at 82 F room temp.

Cons: It is big as must people say and I had not problems with it, in my HAF 942. The fan are not the best looking, but they work good.

Overall Review: Checked the Noctua site and it said it would not fit my mother board (EVGA P-55 Classified 200) so I ordered the h-70 two years ago. I talked with EVGA and they seamed suprized, so I thought I would try it and it fit. Now I will not say that was not tight, but everthing went right like it was built for it and I reinstalled eveyrting and had no trouble.

Mushkin Enhanced 1600mhz 8gb

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 996776

Pros: This unit performs better than rated at. It runs cool. it looks cool.

Cons: Make you have the ability to set them up properly in the Bios, or you could be just spending money to not see the better performs you are expecting to see.

Overall Review: I really like Mushkin product and there support after the sell if really good too. I would tell anyone looking for performance ram to start here with the basic clocl speed being 9-9-9-24 and performace clocks 7-9-8-24 and yes you can use the EXP mode if avilable to you.

EVGA P-55 Classified 200

EVGA 160-LF-E659-KR LGA 1156 Intel P55 Classified 200 SLI Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 160-LF-E659-KR LGA 1156 Intel P55 Classified 200 SLI Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This motherboard is a KA product and provides the user alot of room to grow. It worked perfectly right out of box and only change made used setting up the bois to work with the ram I got. It works like a dream and is very easy to OC, and the K boost is also nice.

Cons: It is large and you may need to get a new case. it has 6 vidio card slots and 1 pci x1 slot this may not allow you to install alot of extras. It was made to fly on games when fully populated with 4 VC.

Overall Review: This was may 1st build and it work as stated, this MB was build for a lower priced build compared to the X58. EVGA has great tech support and is very helpful with all question you may have. This is like any other part that you can by next week they will have the new and improved model out to replace it and tell you that it works so much better. I said that to say this the new P-67 is the new model that should replace this product. Hope this note was helpful to you and dont be worred about the latest and greatest if the unt will fit your needs.
