Pros: There are a lot of pros to this board, price, layout, Z68 chipset, everything that brought you to read these reviews is a plus on this board. I was able to overclock my i5 2500k up 4700Ghz without too much messing around with BIOS settings and it runs strong and solid. The Intel SRT technology worked fantastic with two SATA II HHD's on a RAID 0 plugged into the SATA II ports and a 64Gb SSD SATA III plugged into one of the SATA III ports. The Virtu software that ties the CPU to video card boosted my HD6850 video card performance substantially. The BIOS gives you what you need and makes it easy to navigate. I updated the BIOS right off without a problem and installation went without a hitch. For what I was trying to achieve this board has done everything I needed and more. I am very pleased with it.

Cons: There are a couple of things I would like to have had but do not warrant deducting and egg because the board is considered a budget board. It would have been nice to have 4 SATA III ports. The manual leaves a lot to be desired although the board itself is labeled very well on all the jumpers, but no where in the manual does it mention how to enter the RAID configuration which for a first timer could be frustrating. Also the info for installing the Virtu software is extremely vague and the technology is new enough that there's not a lot of info on the net, for those wondering follow the manual for BIOS settings then you have go to Intel's website and download and install their "Intel HD Graphics" software which is in their driver download section under "Graphics" then scroll through until you find the "HD Graphics" driver software. Overall I am pleased with its performance and options.

Overall Review: There's a nice review and overclock settings for this board at techpowerup.com - search "reviews" for TZ68 and you'll find it. Only setting I changed was disabling the speedstep technology and using the Intel XMP for the memory settings - board runs fast and strong that all I could want.

Pros: Love the real glass side...classed up this case nicely

Cons: None

Overall Review: Antec always makes nice cases

Pros: Fully modular

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great

Pros: Solid board...overclocks easy....BIOS has all the tweeks I'd ever need and was affordable

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great

Pros: Plenty of power, well made, love the flat cables, they bend and move anywhere I wanted them to and I think they are much cleaner looking than round cables. Plenty long enough for my bottom mount Antec Twelve Hundred Case. Quiet quiet quiet! Even when the fan spins up the noise level isn't anything that big.

Cons: Other than it's not free I can't think of a single con - I've been building custom PC's for 15 yrs and I don't know what the big fuss is about the fan noise, it's nothing that's off the hook or totally out of the ordinary, I have an Antec 900 High Output that makes more noise than this thing!

Overall Review: I'm running an AsRock Z97 Extreme6 - i5-4690K overclocked - 16 Gigs DDR3 2400 - three SSD in a RAID 0 - WD 1T SataIII HDD - 2 power hungry ATI Radeon R9 270X video cards crossfired - Sound card and multiple big fans - with all that this thing rarely even kicks the fan on! Most of the time it runs without even spinning the fan at all - Five Stars from me!

Pros: I'm impressed with this video card, I bought this as a refurbished card for a gaming PC build for a Christmas gift. So far it has run flawlessly and runs almost all games on high graphics settings, even runs Call of Duty Advanced Warfare on all but a couple high settings. Quiet and runs cool. I used MSI AfterBurner GPU overclocking software and overclocked the GPU 100Mhz which made a significant difference in performance.

Cons: Seems to use a lot of juice, we built another rig with two of these crossfired and had to bump the power supply up to keep it running without issues, but once they weren't starving for power they ran flawlessly.

Overall Review: Like everyone else has stated these cards are BIG and LONG - measure twice buy once :)

Nice monitor for the $$ - shipper was fast and item arrived in good shape - I use it for graphic artwork so I like the non-glossy screen - over all I would buy from these guys again anytime!
