Great Card
Pros: 1- One of the cheaper 7970's you can find 2- Factory overclocked (50 MHz boost and youre at GHZ edition speeds with way less cost!) 3- Runs surprisingly cool. I live in a very hot part of California and this card has not given me any trouble. 4- Great performer and very overclock friendly, got it to 1050MHz easy without even changing voltage settings. DO NOT buy GHz edition 5- Who doesn't love dual bios switch
Cons: 1- Have to deal with AMD subpar drivers, not that big of a deal though AMD drivers got much better over the last few years. 2- Fan gets audible around the ~40% mark, not really that much of a con but the fans are definitely not on the quiet side.
Overall Review: Big card, make sure your case can take it, dimensions for reference: 275(L)x115(W)x36(H) mm Size. Make sure you have the PSU for this, requires two 8-pin PCIE power connectors, this card needs around 350Watts of clean power. A 750Watt PSU is recommended but 650 can work if it can provide a high power single rail. Any less will cause your card to fail and artifact then you will come here give the card 1 egg and complain like all these others I see when you haven't done your research. Comes with 2 Molex to an 8-pin PCIE connection convertor and a fairly long HDMI cable. Haven't tried Saphire custom OC software yet.
SO disappointed
Pros: Loved it when it worked.
Cons: Mouse completely died on me 2 months in with perfect care and even a cable holder. Cable must've died on me, doesnt work on any computer anymore no lights no nothing.
Overall Review: So I'm a rational person... I buy Razer mice.. they ALWAYS die on my like clockwork.. okay switch to something more dependable and a bit cheaper, logitech... died on me again. My backup i think rosewill has never ever let me down I'll just go super cheap and it work for sure. 2 months in it just dies for no reason...?.. I'm sick of this.. I just want a mouse that works.. I have a desk on a desktop perfect set up for caring for a mouse.. i dont get my terrible luck. I want a replacement. This is unacceptable, been a rosewill customer forever and i dont want that to change.
Cable works
Pros: Its a cable.. that works for super cheap..?
Cons: None so far works like a charm
Overall Review: Never overspend on cables.. get a bunch of cheap ones.. if it dies switcheroo
Number doesn't work
Pros: Card looks nice
Cons: Gave me an invalid number that has been expired 6 months ago... Contacted customer support still no response. Been a week.
Overall Review: None
Spacious. Clean Design. Great build Quality
Pros: -Perfect Size, Spacious but not too big. -Amazing build quality, eSATA and USB3.0 connectors.. big bonus. Zero rough edges. -Rubber fitted slots that make cable management a breeze. All the rubber slots for Sata/PC power and lights and everything have specific rubber slots right under the motherboard that looks extremely neat... very well thought out placement for those slots I can't stress that enough. -Massive Fans... I mean it. The case itself converts 2 Molex powers to 6 fan power slots. Three of them are labeled Fans "A1-A2-A3" and similarly for B1-etc... The way it works the fans plugged into A slots can be controlled by 1 fan knob and the ones for B are controlled by the second knob. That makes for good airflow control where you can have exhaust and intake separately controlled. -Tool-less design for EVERYTHING (except screwing in mobo and PSU obviously) That is such a massive plus. Very comfortable thumbscrews and intuitive hard drive and CD ROM slots. -Slick lo
Cons: -I have some beef with the advertised LED light. It's extremely weak and only affects the front grill every so slightly. Easily remedied by buying 8 red cathode lights :D :D. (gotta make that stuff glow bling bling! :P) -The top movable "grill" has a very stiff slider. Uncomfortable stiffness with that... it works but the stiffness is annoying (I'm really just nitpicking at this point).
Overall Review: @120 Dollars when I got it can't beat this deal. It might seem like a hefty price tag for some of you out there for a case. And it is understandable. But if you buy this it will last you a very long time. You will be upgrading your mobo/CPU and parts over and over again and this case will live on. A good case is always worth the investment.
Love Gskill
Pros: Comes with SD size adapter Mine wrote at 13MB/s and read at 25MB/s which is really nice. Nice packaging, good price and quality as always.
Cons: None so far!
Overall Review: GSkill is a very dependable brand. Not the cheapest sure, but very fair pricing. Never had a problem with them.
Incompetent shipping department
Ordered an item and they gave me a wrong tracking number. Reason why they still have 4 eggs is because when I called they owned up to the mistake and gave me the right tracking number. How do you mess up a tracking number? Do they seriously manually enter it in instead of having it scripted or copy pasted? Terrible.... That piece of grievance aside good product, fast shipping and good price. Recommended but don't be surprised if they herpaderp on you real hard.
