Pros: In all my days I have not yet had a DOA ram stick from G.Skill. I have purchased about 300 gig worth.

Cons: na

Overall Review: You could make them lime green instead and mix things up a bit?

Pros: There is a line between motherboard software that is useful, and motherboard software that is an overreach. This motherboard will provide you with both. It comes with a 5 way optimization, 5 cores that sit on the MoBo that help you and it optimize the computer performance. I would like to remind you that GeForce AND Radeon both came out with their own game optimizers, I would like to add that this MoBo will conflict with that entirely. It will also forget to run your fans because it has a billion reasons why it should. This MoBo is too smart for its own good. If you like to tinker and mess with settings for hours on end to get something functional, this MoBo is for you. If you want a good gaming experiance with little stress, pick up a Gigabyte Ga-Z87x-OC for about the same price. At least it is stable and doesn't try to be a mini operating system.

Cons: No ... don't do it. I don't care how much you like ASUS. Just don't. I like them a lot too, but this MoBo is a FLOP.

Pros: It has a nice shape.

Cons: Looses drivers upon reboot, resets your clock upon entering sleep mode, this SSD proves to be a security risk and a blatant hassle. A huge waste of time chasing drivers everyday. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE.

Overall Review: It is NOT an item you can get a refund for, they will only send you a new equally worthless item.

Pros: I purchased this laptop in 2012, and since then it has never failed to go above my expectations. I put skyrim, LoL, WoW, BF4, etc. On ultra and it never ceased to amaze me. This really is quite the laptop. Even in 2014, while some newer parts are out, it still does VERY well. I especially like the 2 HDD slots. The software that comes with it is actually helpful, and the fan speed override is also a cool feature.

Cons: I was shocked to see such a large laptop only get 1 fan. It was disappointing, but it never seemed to have a problem with heat. Still, I believe it was hard on it.

Overall Review: Solid.
