Pros: After installing this, my computer kept crashing. Temps were fine. I thought it might be my power supply, so I bought a new one. It still would randomly crash. I declocked the card and it was more stable with few crashes. Finally, I decided to load SAPPHIRES BIOS onto the card. It has not crashed once in almost 4 months and gives me the same exact FPS in games.

Cons: gigabyte has horrible QA. I will never buy another product from them. and yes I had gigabyte's latest bios for the card.

Pros: Keeps things cool

Cons: When this arrived the cover for the pump with the prepasted thermal paste was off and the past had been smeared up against the plastic. Not a big deal right? So I installed it anyways. Turn the system on to find out one of the fans is going bad. It makes a horrible buzzing sound.

Overall Review: Where is the quality control these days? Things shipping out in such horrible condition.

Pros: All motherboard companies use pretty much the same components to build their motherboards. What it comes down to for a high quality motherboard is quality control. ASUS excels at this. Their layout is perfect allowing connectors and thermal devices to works well. Bios is an amazing platform. It is easy to use and the features actually work as intended. ASUS usually is more expensive and that's because you get what you pay for. I've owned about 10 mother boards, the last 3 have been asus. There have been zero issues with ASUS boards. Also, the board is a sexy blue, the cmos reset switch is easy to use, and their is an LED indicating MB power. I haven't even needed overclock this board, but did it for fun. Pushed it to 4.4GHZ on my i5 3750k just fine, didn't push it any further, didn't want to increase voltages too much. Back at stock settings now.

Cons: It was almost 225 when I bought this board.

Overall Review: bored at work.

Pros: Best card I have ever owned. It is quiet. It is powerful, it runs cool, has lifetime warranty. There have been zero hiccups . It also over locks great without even changing voltages. I have had evga, gigabyte, msi, bfg, and asus cards. All had hiccups. Either too loud, running hot, or fans dying or grinding.

Cons: It is still too expensive

Pros: It is very cheap for a blu ray reader

Cons: Very loud when operating. I bought this to have the option of one day using it as a media server backup; however it is too loud to watch a movie in the same room. Grinding noises when opening tray

Pros: GREAT Case for the Price. It is not a cheapo case. It is really thought out well

Cons: Heavy and Large. It's slightly wider than most cases I have owned.
