Pros: Cheap, simple and effective

Cons: Thermal pads need to be cut to the proper length. Pointless to have anything longer that what the heatsink covers

Overall Review: Bought this to be put on my 960 EVO 500GB installed in a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX case (No cooling on back of the motherboard) and max temps dropped from 52 to 43. It does it's job and at the same time looks good. I have a feeling this heatsink was made for much warmer running NVMe SSDs like the SAMSUNG PRO SSDs. Either way for what it does you can't beat the price.

Pros: BIOS provides plenty to play around with. 2-way SLI support. 8 channel audio. Has 2 4-pin fan headers and 2 3-pin fan headers. Can control fans without PWM control.

Cons: Can only control 3 out of the 4 fan headers. The northbridge heatsink becomes quite hot very fast due to the fins being packed to closely. Some larger heatsinks such as the Cooler Master V6 GT don't fit because of the angled position of the Northbridge heatsink.

Overall Review: It's kind of a pet peeve of mine that I need to be able to monitor every aspect of my systems hardware, and if the need arises, alter settings to suit my requirements. This being said I must point out that of the 4 fan headers, only 3 can be controlled. the fan header labeled PWR_FAN cannot be controlled. I know this is similar to many other boards like it. I just expected GIGABYTE to be able to overcome this problem.

Pros: Narrow design. Fits full-sized PSUs* and full length GPUs**. Decent room behind motherboard for cable management. Full mesh side panels. Very light even with a full build.

Cons: *Only supports PSUs of 150mm (housing size not including cables) in length. Anything longer will limit GPU length considerably. **Can support GPUs up to 12.7" in length but only when installing a short PSU. Not the best airflow layout. Very very tight fit for 120mm AIOs (don't try and use any of the NZXT Kraken series as the tubes are very long). Mounting for 240mm AIO on the inner side panel but only 1 fan can be used making it completely pointless. No room to put a standard 120mm fan in the top if using an air cooler on the CPU. Not tall enough to put a 120mm AIO in the top...at least not with a fan.

Overall Review: This is a unique case to say the least. The internal setup requires a lot of thinking regarding parts to use as 1 part will affect another in terms of fitment. Long PSU means short GPU and vise versa. Forget about using an AIO unless you can find a 92mm one. This case is better suited standing on its face. I'm not saying it isn't a good case as it does the job but there are better options out there in this size category albeit not as good looking (Cooler Master Elite 130)

Pros: New look that's a step towards the Pascal theme (aka tesselation) Vibrator motors are much stronger. Lighter in weight than the original. Can connect to other non-shield devices via bluetooth instead of needing to be physically connected with the USB cable.

Cons: D-pad is "clicky" now and feels more resistant than the original. She goes for the shoulder buttons.

Overall Review: If you owned the original SHIELD controller but didn't like the bulkiness of it you will like this one.

Pros: Small size in comparison to the older GTX200 series. Doesn't require much power.

Cons: Can't overclock with Rivia Tuner, and no control over fan speed either. Seems slow to respond when switching from everyday use to graphically hungry applications.

Overall Review: I bought mine at Best Buy. Worked somewhat out of the box. Just had to go on NVIDIA's web to get the latest drivers. The only program that I found to work with the card is EVGA Precision. Now with the ability to control fan speed and clocks, It works much better.

Pros: Low power consumption and it's a robust quad core. This thing can take a beating. I can and have put it in my pocket, stored it in a plastic baggie, dropped and even kicked and yet it's still going strong. I've tested this CPU countless times and still performs like it should.

Cons: Only 4MB Cache. Doesn't overclock well, in fact it seems to run slower when overclocked 5%.

Overall Review: Had to choose between this and the XEON X3210. I bended up buying both just in case.
