Awesome Card

Pros: Inexpensive Very inexpensive Popped it right in and instantly noticed the difference Low profile This is the first time I have ever decided to spend money on a sound card, I just never thought that I would see a difference. Boy was I wrong, I wish I had done this years ago! It is defiantly like night and day when playing Battlefield 3 Beta! Had to tweak with the settings a little bit in order to get the best sound but I didn't mind.
Cons: The manual that it comes with is worthless. The driver for some reason took forever to install and then when they reached the end it stated that it could not find my sound card. After a reboot it was fine. Win 7 Ultimate
Overall Review: Some advice for Windows 7 users. I was having problems with the card not picking up my microphone. I went into windows sound panel and into the microphone properties. Under the custom tab I unchecked the box for "front mic." As well in the Xonar audio center, on the bottom tabs go to the VocalFX tab and make sure "VoiceEX" is checked. My mic was working fine after that. If your hearing a low buzzing in the background click on the Listen tab in windows microphone properties and uncheck "listen to this device." See if that works.

Sooo Much Better.

Pros: Responsive Comfortable Easy to set up Plenty of buttons that are easy to hit Back lit Sturdy on my desk (does not slide around)
Cons: Space button is actually a mouse click type button Buttons become stuck (in software) Not accepting keystrokes Cable not braided Software must connect to the "cloud"
Overall Review: If you are looking for a comfortable, sturdy gamepad with plenty of buttons, this is for you. The buttons feel great and it really helps clear up your desk. I don't think I could ever go back to a standard keyboard after having this. It is so easy to customize to your liking and everything is right at your fingertips. If you practice enough you can probably use the thumbpad to fly jets and choppers. Mechanical keys are awesome!! I have to take an egg off because of the space button being a mouse click and the keys sticking. To be clear, the keys themselves are not sticking, it seems to be something to do with the software. This is a pretty big deal, coupled with the every so often failure to process a keystroke. I will be playing BF4 and at random times I will let go of whatever direction I'm moving and my character will continue to move!! I have to repress the button to get it to stop. I normally just mash the keypad when this happens because I freak out. It will happen about 4 to 5 times in an hour of game play. This is HIGHLY unacceptable from a device that costs this much. I will also remove an egg for the random, what I will call, "failure to process" keystrokes. This is when I will hit the key to move and nothing happens. I believe this is also software because I feel the mechanical key depressing? If they could look into this and send out an update, that would be great. I know I am not the only one having this problem. I also feel like the space bar (mouse click) will eventually wear out, just as all mice do. It should be a mechanical key like all of the others.
Great RAM

Pros: Fast Sturdy Cool looking
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great RAM. I got these in 2011 and they were $100 back then. Running games and AutoCAD type programs I have not seen it go past 6 gigs. Most people will not need this much but heck, if you have the money, why not? Still running great!
Not what I thought...

Pros: Small and discrete. Easy to sync. Clear sound. Good microphone.
Cons: Can not transmit music on Samsung Galaxy S4.
Overall Review: I purchased this item on my Newegg mobile app because I was looking for some bluetooth headphones to use while lifting. I found these and thought I would give it a try because of the price. If you are looking at these for the same purpose, DO NOT BUY. On the mobile app it does not say how many are in the package. NOTE this is a SINGLE earpiece to use for phone calls. The description states that it has stereo sound? I'm not sure how you can have stereo sound from one headphone. It also stated that this earpiece can be used to transmit music via bluetooth. This was not true according to my Samsung Galaxy S4, which supposedly this was made for. When paired, I only had the option to transmit phone. I will not take any eggs off because this was my mistake and it in fact does work well for what it is intended to be. Although I did search the description on the mobile app before hand. Newegg might want to update this to mitigated any future problems. I checked the webpage on my computer after receiving it and it does state that there is only one headset in the package. I gave this device to my mother because I have no use for it. No sense in returning it at this price. It did pair just fine with her iPhone.
Nice pad

Pros: Very large. Smooth surface. Easy to clean. Works well in game. Precise. Sticks to desk perfectly.
Cons: Smell. Mouse shaky when not in game.
Humm...

Pros: After you finally get them running, I saw some nice pretty graphics. They take forever to get running if you have a previous version of CCC and are not awair that the program is p00p. They have nice input options for plenty of monitors.
Cons: I bought these cards thinking that they would be really awesome. Well, I set them up in Crossfire mode ONLY after I had to completely wipe Windows7 and start with a fresh install! CCC is by far the WORST running program to update. I had the 4890 and tried to upgrade to the latest CCC with these new cards. Wiped out every file I could find related to ATI/AMD, uninstalled the drivers, rebooted in safe mode, used drive sweeper, and cleaned my registry. Then tried to reinstall the CCC and drivers and CCC would not load. Searched the internet and tons of people were having this problem. It took me two days in between work for me to even be able to see Windows. 3 days to actually see how they are in game. AMD, you guys should really think about completely taking apart that program and code it right this time. On all of the stock settings with CCC I am getting horrible tearing in game with Crysis. I was debating on just installing the drivers and using another program that actually works.
Overall Review: I also tried to install the software that comes with the cards and they locked up my computer. I could not even boot into windows. I don’t know what the heck you all are doing down there, but your sure not making quality programs to go with your cards. I took two eggs off for being a PITA.
