Pros: Fast like you wouldn't believe. I'm not even touching the overclocking on it. No need to do so. This, 16gigs of RAM, and my SSD, Speedy Gonzalez. Less than 30 seconds from hitting the power button to having windows 100% ready. No joke.

Cons: Blah it's hot blah blah. If you are a moron and get anything other than liquid cooling, you will have issues. However, I'm running a Corsair H80i with both fans (push/pull) and it rarely gets above 50 C. I don't know what others are doing, but the heat hasn't been a problem really.

Overall Review: Not a fanboy. Went from an i7 Q740 and I'm still very happy.
