Works perfectly
Pros: 16GB, USB 3.0, got it for $7. Works fine.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Nothing bad about this drive
Good motherboard so far
Pros: Allows me to OC my FX-8320 Decent BIOS
Cons: Mouse runs at like 2 fps in BIOS Potential issue with slow 8320 performance
Overall Review: Was a little scared after seeing DOA reviews
Decent for the price
Pros: 8 cores Same chip as the more pricy 8350/8370 Great performance in video editing and some heavily multithreaded games Still manages to massively beat consoles
Cons: Couldn't overclock above 4.1 GHz without extremely high temps (65+) on a Cryorig H7 (may have been something I did wrong, admittedly) Bottlenecks GTA V and Arma III pretty darn bad on my 290 (45-50fps in GTA V, way worse in Arma but that is due to a bad engine) Could be that i have single channel RAM? Bottlenecks other games (Far Cry 4, BF4) but not to the same extent as GTA V or Arma 125W TDP
Overall Review: Buy a locked i5 and cheap motherboard instead, same price as this + a good mobo (which you NEED for this, unlike the Intel) + an aftermarket cooler
Windows 8.1
Pros: Super fast on SSD Windows More "snappy" than 7 Free Windows 10 upgrade
Cons: Some may not like Metro UI
Excellent mousepad
Pros: Excellent mousepad, good surface, perfect for games
Cons: None really
