Pros: Easy to set up and worked perfectly out of the box. It boots quickly and it does the job. The included LED lights were a nice bonus. I was able to play my games maxed out with a Core I3 6100 and my trusty EVGA GTX 770. Of course, most of my games are older, but Fallout 4 plays maxed out as well so I am pleased.

Cons: I don't have any real cons worth mentioning. except that cat urine does tend to make this motherboard run slow. My cat decided to express his love and admiration for me by spraying my CPU case last night. I cleaned it up with rubbing alcohol and it still works, and I am using it right now. Unfortunately my games now lag like mad, and benchmarks are a lost cause. I am going to have to replace a few components now. I will most likely purchase another board like this one, since my problems stem from cat issues and not from material defects.

Overall Review: I will replace this board with the same model. This was my second Biostar and I am pleased with the both of them. I will have to cover my case when not in use, to keep territorial kitties away.

Pros: Inexpensive board, and worked perfectly right out of the box. This was my first Biostar purchase, so far I am very satisfied with the performance. It replaced another brand of motherboard which only lasted 16 months or so before the "B" memory channel failed, and cost a lot more money. This board is pretty basic, kind of like an old 1970's Ford pickup. Not too fancy, but it always runs and gets the job done, a real workhorse.

Cons: My only complaint is that the PCB seemed to be warped a little bit where the back panel connections are located but for the price I can't complain because it doesn't seem to affect performance. The Toverclocker software is not very good, so I uninstalled it. Better to change the settings in bios anyway.

Overall Review: This board, for the price was an excellent buy, but I can't vouch for its long term reliability as I have only had it for a short time. I was able to overclock my Sandy Bridge I5 2500K to 4GHZ with water cooling without any difficulty and could probably take it farther, but I don't really see the need to do so . I had to overclock in BIOS because the Toverclocker software was worthless.

Pros: Very inexpensive, much faster than a mechanical drive. My old Alienware 9700m is more responsive and boots faster than before.

Cons: I could find very little wrong with this SSD. Windows showed it as being a 1.9 TB drive at first, and formatting was a bit of a hassle, but it works as intended so far. So I guess there are no real cons to speak of.

Overall Review: My Alienware 9700M is never going to be able to take full advantage of the speed this SSD is capable of, but for the money I was happy with the performance increase it provided. It is much faster than the 7200 RPM drive that it replaced.
