Good board
Pros: Good layout. I have not had problems with lan going out. Really stable build. Cheaper than the UD5R.
Cons: Slow start-up. For a more powerful system than my AMD PII 940, the start up takes a lot longer time. I leave my system running 24/7 so it's not that big of a problem.
Overall Review: I don't overclock so I can not comment on those features, but the board over-all is really stable I would of had a UD5R but it arrived DOA. I RMA'ed it and it was on backorder. Newegg was decent in the RMA process. There were some delays.
Atleast some of the sticks work...
Pros: The memory isn't bad. I am using it in a home server and it works good for hosting game servers that require a lot of memory in order to run good.
Cons: The negative is that 1 of the 4 sticks were bad. I had to RMA one set and I should be getting the replacement today. I hope that this set is going to be good but from reading reviews I should expect a headache. I hope I get lucky and get a good set.
Overall Review: The 2 sticks I have in my server work good. I hope the replacement set works. At this point, building my server has started to cost more than I wanted in RMA cost as I had to RMA some other parts as well. If this set is bad I may ask for a refund instead of dealing with the hassle of constantly RMA'ing 2 sticks of memory.
Good fan
Pros: This fan moves a lot of air. Compared to the stock Lian Li fans that came with my case. I was having major overheating problems. These fans seem to of lowered the temp in my case. Packaging is nice and comes with everything you need.
Cons: Little louder than the Lian Li fans. Not enough to bother me. The screws that came with it seem to strip easy. I stripped one, but I just used one from my old fans.
Overall Review: Great fan. I really needed the power of these to keep my mid tower cool. I have 3 total in my case. They are able to keep my case cooler.
Beast of a card
Pros: This card it fast. It is not as loud as I thought it was going to be. I can play crysis on high settings and AA turned on, something my 8800GTS could not do.
Cons: This card is hot. I knew this card ran hot before I bought it, but I didn't think it was this hot. It also weighs a ton. I was worried about breaking off my pci slot putting it in. I know it has to put a lot of pressure on it.
Overall Review: Great card. First one I had was defective and I RMAed it back to BFG. I got it back in less than 2 weeks. BFG has great customer support. It wasn't a big deal to RMA it since my new motherboard also was a dud and had to be RMAed.
Good proc
Pros: This is a great proc. It may not beat the I7's, but for the money it is worth it. Can't beat AMD prices.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This is a great proc. I am not an overclocker so I have not tested it. I am content with the speeds the proc offers. I would recommend it.
Good PSU
Pros: This PSU comes with more connector than you will ever need. I got it to make sure I had enough power for my 295 gtx. It has not let me down yet.
Cons: I would say a little too much on the cables. PSU is way too big for my mid tower case. I also had a wire loose to one of the 6 pin plugs. I was able to fix it, but you would think that you wouldnt just have a loose wire hanging off the plug on a new PSU.
Overall Review: Great PSU and I would recommend it. Newegg is the best as always.
