Pros: First used as a gamings pc cpu, ran SWTOR and Dirt 3. Now used as a churches multimedia machine's cpu and obviously handles that without a sweat.

Cons: none, never had issues

Overall Review: Newb friendly as i used this in my first build and never had issues.

Pros: Being that this is the first and currently only MoBo i've ever purchased, i don't have any way to compare and give pro's cons. I did my first ever build with this mobo and it started up right away, never had any issues. I ended up donating it to my local church for a multimedia machine. Still never had any issues (of course we don't do any time of over clocking whatsoever).

Cons: I did have one "jolly" of a time trying to hookup the case buttons and temp gauge. They kept coming loose very easily (not sure if that's due to mobo, case, or just expectations for single pin connectors).

Overall Review: Newb Friendly *shrugs* all I can share with ya. Never had an issue. Only ran with half of max ram on 64 O.S.

Pros: 3 fans, temp gauge, vented top. I used this for my first comp build. It's great so far.

Cons: Docked an egg cause the first night I was woken up to the side fan clipping. I just pushed the edges in to force the blade to 1) shave itself or 2) push the blad back and possibly any wires pushing on it. There isn't a lot of room to maneuver power without worrying about the fan (that is if you use big video cards).

Overall Review: I'm a newb. I can't figure out why the temp gauge won't turn on.

Pros: Doing my own comp I like how no other junk software is loaded.

Cons: See other thoughts (oem might be better deal)

Overall Review: The OS freezes up when idles. Known issue for years (not hardware related). After I installed all updates, it seems the issue has subsided.

Pros: I was between this and the 6970 non turbo, the differences weren't large enough to justify the price difference IMO. Using this card in less than a week, it cruised through the games I have played (crysis (use -dx9), WoW, Skyrim). When I use "recommended" from the games, it's fine but it doesn't max the settings. WoW for instance wants everything on good. When I manually set stuff to ultra, it can do it but at low fps (not a deal breaker for me coming from a laptop :) ). This card comes with a xfire connector. I have a second one I got and will be installing after work today.

Cons: I'm only an avg comp builder. I don't know enough to complain about any defects I don't notice.

Overall Review: I bought two
