Pros: Seems to work well. I got 2 bars on the second story of my fathers house. His wireless N900 router is in the basement. I suspect I'll get 5 bars when I hook this up at my house.
Cons: None so far.
Dead out of box
Pros: Amazing features, which I never had the luxury to test out.
Cons: Video did not show, the front panel did not allow power on
Pros: Fast. Even though Windows Experience Index scores don't matter too much. I was fairly happy seeing a 7.9 rating. Got it on sale for 115.
Cons: None yet.
Pros: Powers my system just fine. Has plenty of juice to handle an overclock for my GTX 460 and I5 3670k.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: Waiting to see how it handles my new GTX 660. Hopefully I can achieve nice stable overclocks with it.
Pros: Overclocks well. I have been able to overclock my I5 4670k to 4.4ghz without changing voltage. I have been able to overclock my 4x2GB corsair XMS 1600mhz ram to 1800mhz, it's remained stable. The 2 sata 6gbs ports host my SSD and 2TB HDD just fine.
Cons: Had trouble overclocking to 4.6ghz with extra voltage. Lots of BSOD. I wouldn't dock an egg considering this is a budget board, and I haven't seen too many reviews of people being able to overclock the I5 4670k past 4.5ghz, on more 'high end' boards.
Overall Review: Over all solid board, great bang for the buck. I am waiting to test a new EVGA SuperClock GTX 660 when I get the chance. I am expecting some great FPS increase over my GTX 460. From what I understand it doesn't matter between PCI X 16 3.0 and 2.0 as far as performance because the bandwidth at 2.0 hasn't even been maxed yet.
Great Deal
Pros: I've only had it for a bout a month, but the drive came in and no BSOD or anything during windows installation or heavy gaming use. I use it as an OS drive with Diablo 3, League, Neverwinter, and SC2. Currently running i5 3570k w/ only 4gb ram. Just ordered a z77, but I definitely enjoy the stability of NOT using sandforce drivers. Good buy, let's see how long it's life span is. 10 year limited warranty so things look good so far.
Cons: I'd say the write speed, but given that it is a non sandforce drive, I wasn't expecting 500meg write speeds. So I wouldn't necessarily put it as a "con." As I knew I was giving up speed for stability.
Overall Review: Great deal what can I say? Only wish there was a rebate attached to this deal.
