Sturdy Strong
Pros: Strong and adjustable, couldn't find another stand I was going to trust with $600 in monitors.
Cons: The foot print is very big, make sure you measure before you buy.
Overall Review: The price is high but the materials are very strong and reflect the price.
Solid motherboard
Pros: Solid power delivery solid construction and many USB ports.
Cons: None that I found so far.
Overall Review: If you are truly only gaming you really don't need more than this. This has enough clean solid power delivery to keep my 3600 at 4.4ghz with no issue.
Giant upgrade
Pros: So it's not just the RAM that is has more, this has more cudacores a higher memory bus and faster memory. The cooler is an absolute monster. Even sucking up over 400 watts it stays in the very low 70s
Cons: It's big, very big. The pictures that I put up is in a full-sized tower. Measure before you buy. It's also very thirsty without touching the core clock just putting up the tolerances it goes well into 1.1 volts and over 400 watts. Make sure it has plenty of clean power, not splits off of the same rail.
Overall Review: This has a lot of thought put into it, the cooling is extremely effective and well not important to me the screen and RGB are very nice. Also I had absolutely no issues using the software to control that screen.
Price to Performance King
Pros: Fast, surprisingly quite, cool
Cons: Big, I have a full size tower so I had no issues. But if you have a smaller case make sure it can fit. Red and white power cable going to fans is visible when installed.
Overall Review: At time of purchase this card was under $400. The price to performance is mind blowing. The G1 comes overclocked out of the box and while I usually still OC there was no need. While rated at 1329 mine hit 1380 though no input of what so ever. So if conditions are right this this will keep climbing. If this is in stock buy it!!!
One of the best air coolers
Pros: I love the design, it is like a bloom of copper. I have this fan cooling an intel i5 2550k at 4.6ghz when stress testing with prime 95 for 12+ hours my max temp was 68c on the cores. Smaller then the Noctua NH-D14
Cons: It may be smaller then the Noctua NH-D14 but it is damm sure louder at full load. Noise is my only con for this fan.
Overall Review: With the included fan controller you can keep your cpu cool and quiet. I don't ever need to turn it all the way up unless I'm long term stress testing. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY, everything you need to know is in the specifications tap.
Excellent Ram
Pros: Fast stable and cool. Runs at advertised timings with no issues. For the size of the kit it is an amazing price.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I see some people having issues getting them to run at 2133 with xmp, I had the same. I just set it all manually, make sure you check and double check and set the voltage correctly and you should have no issues.
