Simulated Surround but does work
Pros: It had good sound quality & the surround work well despite only using 2 speaker. Even the Sub woofer work on those with only a simple jack for the audio & another for the mic. The cable is breaded nicely.
Cons: The plastic feel cheap where it hold the headset speaker. The color choice is also questioning, but that's an opinion
Overall Review: The headset use Dolby Digital 3D technology, so people who say you are bound in stereo because you don't use the USB dongle are wrong. If you have a sound card with 3d audio capability the surround will work also. The sound card should be set to stereo & on Windows playback device it should be set to either 7.1 or 5.1. Here how you get surround audio without the USB dongle.
Only does 1080P30
Pros: It can record at 720P60
Cons: Doesn't record at 1080P60, doesn't have audio build in for component. You have to use your own sound chip. It only does HD & doesn't support S-video nor composite.
Overall Review: Doesn't record at 1080P60 & only support 1080P30. Kind of dispointed the first time I tried to record from my 1080P60 camcorder. I believe the AVERTV HD DVR is the better purchase over the game broadcaster HD. Doesn't worth the extra 50$ to get to record 1080P30.
Strong CPU
Pros: -Impressive Cinebench performance -Perfect for video encoding
Cons: -May not see any major performance improvement while gaming if you owned a strong CPU from 2008.
Overall Review: You may hear about gaming performance not advantageous using a 6 core CPU, but you will see the difference in future games. It's hard to make a proper review on a powerhouse
Beautiful flower
Pros: -It's a beauty -it shine -It use 3 fan & look beatiful -My kingston HyperX fit under. -Have all the accessories needed & the thermal pase is very good.
Cons: -Little higher heatspreader than the normal HyperX & it won't fit in the recommended direction.
Overall Review: -You can get vibration noise, because the heatsink is too close to the heatsink & the air push hard. -It hold at the center you can turn the heatsink a bit even attached. Don't know if it affect the thermal paste on longterm use. Run a lot cooler than the CNPS9900LED on the X58 with a X79 CPU. It is safe to say it does the job & look also good.
This look tough
Pros: -Plenty of Dimm, compatible with 1.65v -It look tough at first glance -The heatsink near the back panel is bigger than I though. -Run cooler than the DX58SO(very obvious) -ATX motheboard size -Software & Bios very detailled. -It meet the specification advertised
Cons: -Require a floppy disk to have OS installed in RAID.(look at the board & see the joke) -The 8pins ATX 12V Power connector is way on top of the motherboard, you may need an extension if your PSU is set in the bottom of the case
Overall Review: -I'm running some cheap Kingston hyperX 1600MHz CL9 with 1.65v. -With the Blue LED, the board look grey rather than green. you don't have to worry with color matching. -When configuring the PCI-Express, make sure to lower the Gen to the lowest for the specific card, the card may not work if not set properly.
Perfect
Pros: It work like a charm
Cons: None
Overall Review: Connected to my Keyboard. My tower is in a good distance & I don't like much wireless accessory due to signal delay.
