Pros: Works fine as a CD and regular DVD read. I have not tested it yet on Blue Ray or on writing. The plate face is black. That fits my black case.

Cons: A little noisy (clicking sound) when it does the seek, but normal noise when does constant reading.

Pros: Works with old AMD processor. I used it with Athelon XP 2100+ and 266 Mhz DDR. Also have two ATA 100/133 connections, a floppy disk connection and AGP slot to match an old mobo that went bad.

Cons: Pin numbers are not marked on the mother board to match them to the charts on the instractions. need to do some guess work. Also I have Athelon 2100+ processor and 266 MHZ DDR memory, It would not start if I set the cpu speed to be more than 133 MHZ and the memory speed to more then 133 MHZ.

Overall Review: First run it gave a BIOS error and I had to reset the BIOS (has a jumper for it). The package looked like it was an open box item and the drivers CD was craked. NewEgg will send a new CD. The drivers from PCCHIPS web site works fine. Do not apply Microsoft updates for the sound driver update - it does not work. My old mobo used diferent north/south bridge and I had to reinstall Windows XP otherwise was geting the blue screen claiming a possible virus.

Pros: IT fits fine into the mobo slot and the case opening. Does not have a fan so it does not produce noise. The heat disposer is very big, seems like it is capable of doing its job. I only connected a VGA cable to it and it fits fine into the card connector. I am not running any games with it, just using it for office work and it is enough for me.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: It is not an high end card and you get what you paid for. If you want to check how it stands compare to other graphic cards, search for video card benchmark

Pros: Looks nice, has good ventilation. Case fan is very quite. Two USB 3.0 ports in the front (and one USB 2.0) can be set to do charging (that is a mobo setting). The USB 3.0 connector fits the mobo connector (20(-1 that is not in use) pins connector). When I installed the mobo, everything fits fine. The holes are raised and there is no need to install raisers. The DVD/CD and hard drives slides into a rail and are held with a clip which is very comfortable to handle. There are enough screws from all kinds for everything you need.

Cons: Also, it is convenient to have audio and USB connection in the front near the top. If you plug something into them, the wires falling down and may stand in the way of the DVD tray and require holding them while closing the tray. I saw other cases in which the audio and USB connection are in mid case, below the DVD tray.

Overall Review: When inserting a hard drive, the cables may stand in the way of the case cover. The solution is to turn the hard drive the other way and slide it into the rail with the connection at the bottom.

Pros: Had no issues installing it on M5A99x EVO R2.0 mobo. It works quietly with no clicking sound that was mentioned on one of the reviews.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Except for the lower speed it works fine.

Cons: I am using it on M5A99X EVO R2.0 mobo. This memory is not on the approved vendors list for this mobo. It reads the XMP info into the BIOS, but when you do auto setting, it set it at 1600 MHz. On any attempt to change the speed via the BIOS or overclock utilities the boot fails.
