Total graphical annihilation
Pros: All games run VERY well at 1920x1080, all set at maximum settings. Backlit Sapphire title is a nice touch Keeps quite cool VERY GOOD VALUE, seriously. The price:performance is awesome
Cons: Fans sound like a vacuum when at 60%+ however the only way I could get them to that was the manual settings in MSI afterburner. This card looks sick, but the bottom is pretty boring. No backplate? The sapphire title lighting bleeds out the top a little bit
Overall Review: Very good card. No issues whatsoever, these driver problems people talk about are nowhere to be found. I believe it is the fastest single-GPU card on the market.
Great motherboard, USB sucks.
Pros: Looks pretty cool Overclocks well Bios are... interesting No issues installing the aftermarket heatsink or anything here, everything went all good without issues. Lots of USB 3.0 ports. But.... (See cons)
Cons: Most of the USB 3.0 ports excluding 2 of them don't work. Big aftermarket heatsinks (such as the CM hyper 212 evo/+) may get in the way of your RAM slots
Overall Review: Dropped an egg due to the USB ports being non-functional. Otherwise GREAT motherboard.
