Pros: I do not own this bulb, but use it's "sister" product, the RLLB-11002. The intensity of the RLLB-11002 easily matches or beats a 40W incandescent bulb. So now you pick whether you want COOL white or WARM white.

Cons: People don't understand color descriptions and color temperatures

Overall Review: "Cool White" bulbs are going to give off a blue-tinted light -- that's what "cool white" means. If you prefer the WARMTH (yellowish) of an incandescent bulb, you might want to consider buying a "Warm White" LED bulb; if you hate the COOL (bluish) light of fluorescent fixtures, you should probably stay away from a bulb that is described as "Cool White". I don't know how blue this bulb is, but from other bulbs I've seen rated at 6000K, I didn't think they were "sickly"; personally I slightly prefer a "cooler" light tone (and have some cool white LED bulbs I picked up at a local hardware store), but the warmth of the bulbs I bought doesn't bother me in the least.

Pros: Plenty of bells and whistles to keep everyone happy - Two USB 3.1 ports, one Type A, one Type C - RGB LED strip headers for full software-based case lighting control - Dual BIOS for testing O/C settings or other experimental changes - Clear CMOS button on the back panel; not quite a pinhole button, but it is recessed to prevent accidental bumps - Hex debug codes via onboard 7-segment LEDs as well as a set of four LEDs, all documented in an actual paper manual - Onboard power/reset buttons, so you don't have to fiddle with front panel jumpers or try shorting them with a screwdriver or the like BIOS has "EZ" and "Advanced" modes for beginners to power users - Found most settings I'd ever be interested in playing with in there, plenty of options "Steel Armor" on PCI slots provides reinforcement for heavy graphics cards - Maybe a gimmick, but normally the soldered pin connections and plastic slot are the only thing offering support on the far end of the card, so I won't say no to more physical support Dual Intel LAN ports are nice - Many mobo manufacturers cheap out and use Realtek or other chipsets; while the others have gotten better, they still have higher CPU usage and generally slightly higher latency (really not noticeable unless specifically benchmarking) - Some "premium" mobos offer Intel on the primary NIC but still use Realtek/etc on the secondary port -- double your drivers, double your "fun" when installing or troubleshooting - Integrated surge protection on the network ports... I've seen more than one computer fried because of a lightning strike or other surge through cable/DSL/etc and back up the ethernet cable

Cons: Board seemed to have issues with the M.2 slot - Didn't detect my 256GB Intel 6 series M.2 SSD, even though the 512GB model in that family is explicitly on MSI's compatibility list for this board - I get that sometimes stuff is just defective, it happens... but when it does happen, support is king, and that brings me to my next point... MSI tech support is garbage, there's just no better way to put it - Completely ignored the detailed support form I submitted with all my product and accessory details (mind you this is THEIR form that has eleventy billion fields for all the details!) - Gave me "by the book" troubleshooting steps that didn't even apply (telling me to change a "M2/SATA" jumper that doesn't exist on this board) - Went back and forth with me mostly saying "yes I've already done that" or "no that's not a thing on this board", finally was told to RMA it - MSI wanted me to pay the return shipping for a defective item - GG Newegg for the extended holiday return period, and for footing the return shipping for defective items Could use more PCIe slots: - One x4 slot is adjacent to the primary x16 slot and is inevitably going to be blocked by a beefy gfx card - The only other x4 slot is next to that so a card there is separated from the gfx cooler by a centimeter or less and potentially obstruct airflow depending on the size of the x4 card, thickness of the cooler, and fan location on the cooler - I'd rather the M.2 (which is really just a specialized PCIe slot) and x4 slots be reversed; the gfx cooler might make it difficult to swap SSDs, but the SSD wouldn't impede airflow like many x4 cards might I/O could use refinement - Chunky I/O cover thingy gets in the way of the upper-left and middle-left screws when working inside a case, especially if you have liquid cooling radiators installed (yes I put the mobo in first, but when taking it out for RMA I didn't want to take the entire cooling system out too) - Audio jacks are all black-jacketed (except the primary speaker/headphone out) so you have to rely on difficult-to-read tiny red on black printing on the I/O faceplate for figuring out what plugs in where... especially difficult when working behind your computer

Overall Review: I love a lot of the features on this board, and you get them at a price that doesn't break the bank. Beyond the defective M2 slot the board seemed very stable and reliable. Even with the defective board, I'd be willing to rate it 4 or 5 stars for the features and stability... if the support were at all useful. Instead, I spent a week or so going back and forth in emails only to be told to do things I could find in a YouTube troubleshooting video or the like if I didn't know how to do them already, and then MSI wants me to pay the return shipping to send back a defective product. SMH. *** UPDATE 1/09/2017 *** After reading about similar issues on the MSI forums and getting no answers from their support, I contacted Newegg who were happy to change my RMA from replacement to refund. I've sent back the MSI board and switched to the EVGA X99 FTW K board and haven't looked back. It runs (and boots) the M.2 drive no problem, and all I had to do was change the "M.2 Slot" option in BIOS to "Enabled". It's obviously not the chipset that's to blame for the board's M.2 woes, so until MSI gets a BIOS update out that addresses this, stay away from this board if you need M.2 support.

Pros: - Extremely configurable, with nested menus and such. Once you learn the somewhat unintuitive software and all its quirks and bugs, you can do a LOT with it. - Once it's set up, it basically just works. - Configurations can be exported and shared (although it misses a few details)... still makes copying configs much easier! - A fraction of the price of the Elgato Stream Deck MK2 (albeit with 3 fewer buttons)

Cons: - The software is a bit cumbersome for configuring the buttons, and certain aspects of it don't work super intuitively. - Software is also a bit buggy when it comes to reordering the key/mouse clicks (stuff doesn't necessarily end up where you're trying to drag it to). - Device sometimes loses connection with the software, necessitating unplugging/replugging it. This only seems to happen when the device goes to sleep so you don't need to worry about it happening mid-game/mid-stream.

Overall Review: I got this for my partner for Helldivers 2; she has difficulty reading the stratagem arrows and so I set this up for her. It wasn't initially supported by HD2 but the Arrowhead devs fixed that which is great! The software is a bit cumbersome, and the device seems to need to be reset sometimes, but overall it makes the game much more fun for her (and by extension, me)!

Pros: - Once you learn how it handles, this scooter rides smooth. - Charges quickly and has good battery life. - Doesn't seem to get too hot either during use or charging.

Cons: - Gets "twitchy" if you try to put your foot on it at too much of an angle (I think it's trying to overcompensate for the angle) -- step on it carefully or it'll thrash around some. Once you're used to this behavior it's easy to avoid though. - Has a speed "safety" limiter that, if you're not expecting it, will throw you right off the scooter. The intent is to "warn" the operator, but it's quite the shocking "warning". It does start beeping as you approach that speed though so you have an indication it will do this soon -- back off when you hear it and you'll be just fine.

Overall Review: - I use a Tripp-Lite SK10TG timer on the charger, set to 3 hours. Prior to using the timer I never noticed the scooter getting too hot when it was left on the charger, but I know some of the fires have occurred due to faulty (or perhaps missing) charging circuitry so using an outlet timer that kills the power after 3 hours is just an extra safety measure. The scooter charges in about 1 - 1.5 hours, so 3 is plenty for it to top off. - I refuse to call these things "hoverboards", because THEY DON'T HOVER. Marty McFly had a hoverboard. This is a motorized scooter. - I use my scooter in the office, primarily to traverse a ~200ft hallway several times a day, so it gets intermittent use. I don't know if it might have overheating problems if you tried to ride it like half a mile continuously or something.

Pros: * Allegedly supports Bluetooth * Has front panel Aux In * Has a mute button

Cons: * Doesn't play audio (calls or music) from my phone over Bluetooth * Front panel feels cheap * Claims 52W x 4 output (that's 208W peak total), but is fused for 15A (which at a generous 13.2V running on battery is 198W) * Volume knob makes weird popping noises inside the deck at higher volumes (increasing with the volume)

Overall Review: Fortunately I loose-tested the deck before installing it. I was able to pair it with my phone without a problem, but when I tried to play music my phone certainly thought it was outputting to Bluetooth, but the deck didn't switch to BT output; same for call audio. This deck doesn't have a dedicated "Bluetooth" mode, just "Radio" and "Aux In", and is supposed to automatically switch when it receives BT audio -- this didn't happen. I was also disturbed by the popping noises that the volume knob made with each click at higher volumes (I tried turning it up just to see if the Bluetooth output levels were really quiet). It sounds almost like an electrical crackle with each "click" of the knob, starts at around volume ~45 and increases with the volume up to the max of 63. On the bright side, even when I cranked the volume there was no hiss or other background noise on the speakers (though my car was off, so there was only internal electrical noise to be had, not alternator noise).

Pros: Reports heart rate fairly accurately, easy to put on and remove the monitor

Cons: Terrible software. The software recommended for use in the manual isn't actually affiliated in any way with Bowflex. The iPhone software requires a newer version of iOS than my fiancee has on her iPod touch so that's entirely useless to us, and the Android software mysteriously isn't compatible with any of our Android devices (Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC Evo 4G, or rooted Nook Color). Ended up using a "fitness program" called Quentiq, but it only displays the heart rate in tiny numbers at the top of the screen... not terribly useful for monitoring one's heart rate while working out.

Overall Review: The monitor apparently uses the "60Beat" protocol, so in theory any app that can read that protocol will work... problem is, there is only one on the Google Play store compatible with any of our devices (why the other is listed as not compatible with a brand new Galaxy S3 in the US is beyond me) and it's not really hot for actually monitoring heart rate. The only one in the Apple App store requires a version of iOS that our iPod Touch can't run, so we're out of luck there too.
