Pros: - Performance in comparable to the 780 Ti stock clock - Cooler dissipates heads like a charm. (Note if you computer is pumping out hot air, then it's a good thing) - Fit in my NZXT H440 (After removing one hard drive try in the HDD bay) -On average it uses just above 150 Watts during common loads for games. - Black Flag with max settings at 1080P runs about 70 FPS - League of Legends (Max Settings) - 521 FPS

Cons: Minor - Gigabyte does not seem to know what they want for color schemes. The latest G1 series mobo is red and black, but now they mixed it up with a blur LED on the G1 video card. They should make it either white or red. (imo)

Overall Review: System Setup: G.Skill Sniper 1866 DDR3 Gigabyte Gaming 7 Z97 mobo Devils Canyon 4.0 GHz Unlocked NZXT H440 Case (Black and Red) NAXT X61 AIO Water Cooler Gigabyte G1 Geforce GTX970

Pros: This is my third gigabyte mobo, I changed from the UDP7 to this as I didn't need the amount of customization or sli the other one offered.

Cons: I have never had issues with gigabyte motherboards up until now. Now my computer refuses to restart or turn off. This is after a fresh install of windows. After every configuration I can think of nothing seemed to help. Soon I will be contacting gigabyte or seeing if I am able to exchange this for another model.

Pros: This stuff does not seem to have an expiration date Effortless to remove previous thermal compound

Cons: None

Overall Review: Stored in a cool dark place, I have never had an issue with it, give it a small shake and you are good to go.

Pros: The thumb button layout is great. Its not a grid, allowing your thumb to find the unique button and submit it as muscle memory much quicker. The stand is good quality with a verity of options

Cons: - My device was defective, as the mouse wheel scroll up was so sticky (out of the box) that it would hurt my hand during long sessions. - The side button are placed well but very difficult to press for being a mouse button. These buttons are the hardest button I have to press on any component of my computer, including power buttons. This can cause fatigue rather quickly, and its very difficult to use these buttons without also moving the mouse.

Overall Review: - The stand has two orientations, It can be connected to the base and stand up or to lay flat, however when you lay it flat you need to trout the USB cable to the front as they have not provided routing for the flat orientation. The design was great, but the execution is very flawed. If they come out with an updated model with these things fixed I could see myself using it as my daily driver. As for now I will be going back to Logitech.

Pros: Not a lot of bells and whistles. Signal strength is decent and the connection is consistent.

Cons: The product page shows an option for upgrading the antenna, but gives no means to do so. Its like getting windows and have it advertise a web browser but not provide one.

Overall Review: An issue with so many computer components is they try and do so much more than what they are intended for. I don't need a card that can analyze my network, prioritize my bandwidth, and upload on one stream and download on another. Nobody in the consumer scene does. This is a wireless card, it specializes in wireless connections, and does nothing more... Perfect. Tidbit here: In general, you can place this device in a PCI or PCE-E slot. Currently I have this in a PCI-E slot so my video card has plenty of room to breath. Setup: Archer T9E > WRT 1900AC > cisco modem 2K square feet, router is lower right and wireless card is upper left.

Pros: The connections used are solid. Wires are not as rigid as my old PSU 10 year warranty

Cons: It took me a while to finally decide how I wanted to install this power supply. The power cord side was lets say facing right side up, but the component connection sides would then be upside down.

Overall Review: because there is a shroud over my PSU I decided to have it's own cooling system. The NZXT H440 has a bottom air filter, so I am using the back of the power supply to intake air and the fan then blows it straight out the bottom of my computer. This removed any unnecessary extra head from my case.
