Pros: I installed the fan at the top, rear of the case as an exhaust fan. The case I installed it on did not come with a rear fan, so this made for a significant improvement on air flow and reducing heat inside the case. The fan is pretty quiet overall. I usually only hear it when my mobo pushes it up to max.

Cons: I had a little trouble getting the screws into the fan mounts.

Overall Review: Overall, I would recommend this fan.

Pros: Aside from the flaw in the Intel I225-V ethernet port, this board is great. + Plenty of options for memory speeds + Onboard audio is good + Easy to install into the case

Cons: - The board has a known flaw with the Intel I225-V ethernet port. The flaw causes the internet to disconnect randomly. Sometimes I can go a week without a problem, other times I lose signal multiple times a day. - There board only ships with a single m.2 heatsink. This seems like an unnecessary way to cut costs.

Overall Review: If it wasn't for the problem with the ethernet port, I would gladly give the Z490-A a 5 egg review. The ethernet port flaw is like having a rock in your shoe. It isn't frequent or bad enough to make me want to return it, but it's frustrating enough that it throws off whatever I was doing at the time.

Pros: For the most part, this board works well. The colored RAM slots and SATA connectors are nice additions.

Cons: - My EVGA GeForce GTX 660 graphics card can only be used in the top PCI-E slot. If I put it in any other slot, it either blocks the much needed USB connectors or it blocks the fan for the Z77 chip. - The Z77 fan is as loud as a hair dryer when running at 100%. It will run at 100% from the second you boot up your machine to the second you turn it off unless you find a way to force its speed down.

Pros: The side buttons are nice along with adjustable weights.

Cons: The 'adjustable' dpi barely works, most of the time I can change it from the min to the max dpi setting without any noticeable changes. The software that comes with it is awful, it doesn't start up when you restart the computer (which is required after you install the drivers).

Overall Review: I've had this mouse about 6 months, and I'm hoping this item gets discontinued permanently.

Pros: The card itself was very simple to install. Windows 7 was able to automatically locate and install the drivers which weren't usable from the CD that came with the card.

Cons: The driver CD that came with it does not have any drivers that are usable by Windows 7. There are flickering blocks of teal/red at the top of my main monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 92770HD) which were not present with my last card. These are very distracting.

Overall Review: Manually searching for drivers on the EVGA site was a bit painful since the packaging and manual neglect to mention the series (recognizing the card to be within the 9 Series is not as obvious as it should be). I'm returning this card as soon as the EVGA GeForce GT 440 arrives.
