HUGE Improvement!!!

Pros: Everying is better than the 680i/780i. So much to say! MB reboots without shutting the power off for a second or two. Power consumption is MUCH better than 780i. Asus finally uses screws to mount the heatsinks on the MB!
Cons: Price!
Overall Review: Intel Q9450 - Striker II - 4GB (TW3X4G1600C9DHX) - 9800GX2 SLI - 2 x SAS 15K RAID 0 - 2 x Raptors - PCPower&Cooling 860w I had to set the RAM timings in the MB manually. Also BIOS 0508 added timing settings in BIOS which allowed me to get it stable. System uses 525w Idle (so says APC utility) w/24" CRT
Good besides design flaw

Pros: 2 PCI-E, SATA connectors are distinguishable white ends. I'm good with it.
Cons: SATA3 connectors are vertical. They are positioned inline with the 2nd PCI-E slot. If your card in the 2nd slot is over ~ 8.5 inces you can't use the SATA3 connectors. It should be all PCI-E.
Overall Review: It should be 1/5 for the SATA layout.
cost effective

Pros: comfortable can't hear static when silent good sound quality (i only do phone calls)
Cons: the mute button audio you hear when toggling on and toggling off is nearly indistinguishable. the power light goes green/red, but you can't see it when wearing them properly. i had mic issues wearing them reverse so I could see the light in the reflection of my screen. wasn't able to pair with BT. i forgot why... i think you need an app. no issues with the receiver, i just didn't want to use it initially.
Overall Review: i cared about the price more than anything so i'm happy with it the mute button sound was the reason this didn't get 5 stars
too many typos

Pros: Feels like a quality kb. Heavy. I like the lighting function that lights the keys as you type.
Cons: Too many typos. This is probably just me, not the keyboard. Not sure how this is low profile. I guess the keys are shorter than a normal kb... The lights are a bit too bright, but my eyes are super sensitive. So much I need to see a doctor, so disregard this comment.
Overall Review: I started using a laptop keyboard and realized how few typos I made compared to this. I think I need a tactile kb. I do not game. Bought this without researching. I work from home. I wanted the keys to light up, main reason I bought this. I gave it 4 stars because I think it's good, just not ideal for me.
heavy

Pros: feels like a block. rubber exterior feels strong, too it's a good fit
Cons: heavy? big?
Overall Review: it appears it will last some time so I am happy
not compatible with Product Name: MPG X570 GAMING PLUS (MS-7C37)

Pros: I like this manufacturer.
Cons: Doesn't work with Product Name: MPG X570 GAMING PLUS (MS-7C37)
Overall Review: I enabled/disabled XMP, changed RAM speeds and voltage. System would boot. Memtest and mprime errors. I purchased the NEO series, that works with my systemboard.
