Highly Recommend!

Pros: -Run cool -Very Quiet -Backplates look great! -More powerful than expected
Cons: -LOOOOOOONG PCB
Overall Review: Just installed 2 of them on my rig up from 3-way sli GTX470s + GTX285 physX. and WOW what a diff. Not just frame rate wise either... I could literally see a visual difference. And remember the 770/780 have the optimized software encoding for video capture. (See my youtube chan- Same name) However, the only diff. choice I would make would be to get the 4Gb version. There are very few game which will utilize it but if you play one of them it's worth it! Take Skyrim with the Sharpshoother EMB + grass mod. With "only" 2k textures will eat approx. 2.4Gb-2.5Gb of vram. I sent off an email to EVGA about trading up to the 4Gb versions last night... For kicks I decided to ramp up the fans (all 4) to full 100% and left the stock settings as to see just how well the new Boost 2.0 works. I STILL coulnd hear the gpu fans over my radiator fans, gave me a max OC of +165core and + 340Mem with no voltage adjustments and STILL did not break the 60*C mark.(Using Heaven 3.x HWBOT Ed.) Im actually LOVING these gpu's and being an over clocker, am VERY happy I skipped the previous generation. Since Ive poped mine in on release day Ive sold 17 GTX770's and not a single one has come back with a complaint nor for RMA. Highly recommend them!
So much for "Long lifespan Durable Black Solid caps"

Pros: *PLX Chip (4-way SLI/X-fire support) *Price
Cons: The "Long lifespan Durable Black Solid caps" statement/claim by gigabyte is a joke.
Overall Review: This is an update to my original "positive" review ... Been running this board with a 4790k+ 3-way SLI EGVA GTX-770 4Gb's +Corsair RM1000 psu for approx. 16 months without any issue. Then tonight after a little over 1hr of "CPU" intensive gaming I get the dreaded "Pop-Sizzle" sound coming from my PC. I jump up quickly to hit the PS"U switch only to witness "sparks" coming from under the VRM heat-sink. Now while viewing the nice little burn marks on my "spotless" board I get to listen to my wife yell at me @ 1am about the "toxic smell" (I know it's not really toxic but she won't listen) throughout the house. Thanks Gigabyte! 1st time coming back to you guys after a long 12 years of Asus boards and this is what I get for it. *Note: I know EVERYONE seems to select their Tech Knowledge as "Lvl5/HIGH" which is something we could all scoff at...But I am a Pro-overclocker and Ex-Nvidia employee who now owns a custom PC manufacturing company catering to "select" clientele. This unit was initially built as a showcase/ demo rig shown across the southwest USA . At this point; I am regretting promoting/showing this board as an issue such as this should NEVER occur at OEM clocks/settings.
Nice Phone for a very low price!

Pros: -Great camera (equal to that of my S5) -Good battery life -Light weight -Dual SIM card capability Came included with : *Charger *Battery *Rubber case *Manual *Screen protector
Cons: -Shipping time took much longer than expected -Instruction manual extremely lacking for those who are new to Android.
Overall Review: Purchased this phone for my wife for Xmas as a replacement for her Samsung S5 since she busted the screen. She seems very happy with the phone and is completely shocked at the quality of the (rear facing) camera. I wish accessories were easier to find....
It Works

Pros: -Works -VERY long 12V cig. adapter -Strong suction mount -Got me a 20% discount on my auto insurance. (that's more than they give for an alarm system)
Cons: -Cheaply made (feels like it's made of paper) -Low resolution -"Night Vision" range is VERY low (sub 6ft) -Daytime range ~20-25ft -Poor instruction manual --Menu difficult to navigate for non-techies
Overall Review: Purchased this 12V cam in an attempt to catch a gas thief. FYI you only require a 4Gb micro-SD card for 24hrs of footage.
FUN

Pros: Great lil' Overclocker Fun chip to play with Cheap
Cons: Nowhere near the performance on the 4970k... but we all know this Run a tad on the hot side compaired to other chips within this TPD range.
Overall Review: Bought this chip purely for fun. Purchased a 4970K for everyday use. Using the Gigabyte Z97X Gaming GT, I was able to hold a "stable" 4.8Ghz @ 1.32vCore (LLC=low). However; do NOT expect to do this using your typical air cooler. I run a Full custom liquid loop (I say "liquid because it's not always "water") with 3x PMP500 pumps and quad (4x) Black Ice GTX-360 rads. "Should" be able to do 4.5Ghz using a "cheapy" H100i self contained LCS easy. Those who say that this chip cannot do 4Ghz+ simply don't know what they're doing. Fun chip to play with; but not "gaming" standard in any sense of the word. (Especially with modern multi-threaded game titles) So if your looking for a "gaming" grade chip; opt for the i5 4670 (or 4670"K" if you plan on overclocking).
Scam

Pros: ..Nothing...Fake...
Cons: This is a scam as with all the graphics cards this company sells. Avoid like the plague.
Overall Review: Already had Newegg remove the GTX770's this company was offering which were actually GTS250's (9800GT). they have been reported and acknowledged by Nvidia as a "scam". Manufacturer of their cards has also confirmed they they DO NOT make any computer related products; rather they manufacture electronic cigarettes.
Horrid!
Item marked as shipped on 12/17... still hasn't arrived yet (12/24) and the seller is only 30mins down the road. I'm disabled and unable to shop outside of my home...this is all my kid asked for for x-mas... You know... I have avg. slightly over $5k per year over the last 6 years in business with NewEgg; it's a real pity how 3rd party sellers can tarnish the once awesome standards of customer service I once had for NewEgg. Thank you Mike's Marketplace!
