Fast but requires unique power connections
Pros: Paired this monster video card with the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 MOBO, AMD 9590 and 16GB (8x2) 1866 Crucial Ballistix Elite; it works great.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Be aware that this video card requires both the 6 pin PCIe and 8 pin (6+2) PCIe power cables so make sure your power supply supports this.
Rock Solid
Pros: Works and works well. Never an issue with this RAM.
Cons: None
Cool, quiet and looks great!!
Pros: I installed this cooling unit with the Corsair Obsidian 550D Case, GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 MOBO and the AMD 9590 8-core 220 watt CPU. Installation was easy and the cooling fan assembly fits well in the 550D case.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This is the first water cooled system I've built and everything works great together. I'm enjoying much quieter gaming.
Think and it's already there!
Pros: Paired this hot CPU with the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 MOBO, a CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler and 16GB (8x2) 1866 Crucial Ballistix Elite RAM. Everything works great together.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: Though I haven't tried yet, overlclocking is an option with both this CPU and the RAM.
Clean, Quiet and Ominous
Pros: This case is all about doing things right. It's clean, quiet and well put together. The cable routing is awesome and keeps things really clean inside
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: Make sure you check your available space for this case as it's a little on the big size. Not a bad this and it makes working inside it a dream.
Great with AMD 9590
Pros: Paired this MOBO with the AMD 9590, 16GB (8x2) of 1866 Crucial Ballistix Elite RAM, and the XFX R9 280A-TDBD video card.
Cons: None yet.
Overall Review: I'm currently running Windows 7 so I preloaded all required drivers for this new set up on a USB drive. I simply plugged in the USB drive and hit the power switch. About two minutes later all required drivers had been located and loaded for W7. Do ensure you update this MOBO to the latest BOIS/Firmware which is FCF.
