Rock Solid
Pros: Rock solid board since day 1. Rev 1.0 F6 bios very decent heatsinks for the chipsets. Running my FX8120 @ 4.4Ghz at stock Vcore. Running 2 Gigabyte HD6870's and 8Gigs of G.skill Sniper 1866 Stock Volatge 9.10.9 2t plays everything i throw at it without hiccups or studder. For the price for FX990 chipset and dual Graphics cards Xfire or SLI you just cant go wrong.
Cons: id like more fan headers. other than that i cant think of any cons.
Overall Review: planning of getting the exact same system again. i have purchased ABIT, ASUS and Gigabyte motherboards for over 10 years and so far. ASUS boards are just too picky with other components making instability issues, i will no longer go ASUS ever again. Ever since ABIT went out of business (which they was solid boards. still have an ABIT IC7 Max 3 running solid today) i have stuck with Gigabyte and until they seem poor enough to me i'll be a loyal customer with their products. Go Gigabyte and Newegg! the Ultimate Combo
AMD and Gigabyte does it again!
Pros: this card is rock solid it runs everything i throw at it no glitch no hassle. i dont even need to OC it. runs paired with a FX8120@4.5ghz Gigabyte GA-FXA990-UD3 Rev.1.1 and 1866 G.Skill Sniper RAM @ 9-9-9-27 ive been thinking to get another one of these to crossfire it but tbh i dont need to
Cons: Zero Con. Always have trusted AMD and Gigabyte
Rock Solid as always
Pros: I have gotten this little guy stable at 4.1ghz stable since launch and still rock solid. i dont really need it any higher to be honest.
Cons: runs a little warm but no performance loss so its all good to me.
Overall Review: just make sure you get good cooling for all bulldozers and you should be fine
It's an AMD and Rock Solid
Pros: I have purchased Buldozers since launch and well i have not had any reason what so ever to say the least that i have been disapointed in them. i can care less of benchmarks. i dont use these Bulldozers for that. i game with them and blu ray with them and i just dont see why i should knock off eggs or any ratings whats so ever. I have purchased 2 of these and a FX4100 and i have had nothing but good results with them.
Cons: the only thing about them is that they run a little warm if overclocked. i have both of these OC'ed @ 4.5ghz and under load they run at 54°c on air. but they dont seem to lose performance what so ever.
I love this RAM
Pros: I have purchased this RAM for 4 builds and G.Skill Sniper Series has never let me down. Looks cool and i love it in black to keeo my Black Stealth theme on my PC. timings have always been at 9-9-9-27 with my FX8120 OC @ 4.5ghz and GA-FXA990 UD3 Rev. 1.0 and Rev. 1.1
Cons: absolutely none. As long as G.Skill keeps running them on production i'll keep buying them
Very impressed for what I use it for
Pros: I use this as for an HTPC and its quiet and runs all my videos, blue rays, streams and 1080p without a studer.
Cons: when i got it the drivers didnt recognize. but after i figured it out it has ran beautifully ever since.
