Pros: It booted right up with my FX-4100 I bought with it, the smaller than most micro atx boards comments from others make sense, on the diagram for my case it didn't use several (3 i think) of the standoffs marked for micro atx boards not a problem but it throw me off as a new builder.

Cons: As long as it works for a good long time - nothing as far as I'm concerned.

Overall Review: Case is a cooler master haf 912 which has 2 extra usb ports for you in front that are fairly easy to hook up and have been working great for me.

Pros: Temps are amazing though I haven't overclocked I'm very confident that I could.

Cons: To get this thing installed with the orientation so the fan faces the back of my system was a huge pain. The AMD chipset for the bracket that comes with it makes it so you have to jostle it around to get it in there and then the screws are difficult to reach and screw in took me a while!

Pros: My first build/time installing a processor to a mobo went fine, it runs sc2 well on ultra settings with only a half decent video card, installed after market cooler master heat sink - this was a real pain but I run with extremely low temps now, don't see a point in overclocking till I get a better video card since I will bottleneck there before the processor anyway.

Cons: The universal attachment clip on my aftermarket heatsink was difficult to install with proper orientation- to get the fan to blow out the back. It would've been much easier with an Intel chip I think. But for the money saved I'm fine with the hassle.

Pros: It worked well in my friends mobo. Could play sc2 on low without lag.

Cons: It doesn't work in my current mobo. I am in the process of upgrading to a different mobo/system. I contacted MSI support could find no reason why it would not work. I get a Blue screen and it posts but it will not load into windows. Upgraded power supply to 350w it was 250 originally. Four star review is pending it working in the new mobo I bought or I will revise. New system will have 630w psu.

Overall Review: I did not get a mail in rebate card if someone from MSI could help me figure out how to get the rebate I will revise to a 5 star as long as it works in my new mobo.
