Great APU!!!

Pros: Runs very cool. Very responsive. Overclocks great and still runs cool.
Cons: None
Overall Review: It mat not be a sandybridge but it runs like a champ. This is my HTPC for the living room. I have a gaming computer running a 980x @ 4.5 Ghz and 24gb of 1600Mhz ram with 2 6970s and I am still very impressed with this apu.
Love at first boot up

Pros: Dual M.2, WiFi, Fan support
Overall Review: Loved the board when I installed it. The only issue I had initially was the software but I eventually got that running right after an update. Board failed after 2 months of being installed. Powered the computer on, no fans but all the lights came on. Waited several minutes and tried to boot it again. After testing every single part... CPU, power supply, ram, and testing another Gigabyte board on the same tower, found what I was hoping not to be true. Gigabyte boards have always been my go to when upgrading or building a new rig and I have never had one fail until now. Ive been building them for 16 years.
Awesome Dependability

Pros: Been through two of my builds and running strong for almost the 3 years. Can power everything I have in my full tower with room to spare.
Cons: CPU power cords length but fixed with extension cable.
Overall Review: Corsair is number one in my book of builds. I will choose Corsair before anyone else. Quality, Customer Service, and Reliability. Never have had to RMA!
Imppressive Performance but...

Pros: I love this cpu. I have to say that I am impressed with its performance. Windows 8 rates this cpu at 8.3. Its very small and packs a big punch.
Cons: The heat this tiny chips puts off for 77w is way to much. I have a Intel 980x 130w six core and its put out less heat overclocked.
Overall Review: Intel stop cheating your customers when it comes to the thermal construction of your chips. I am very impressed overall but I beleive it doesnt deserve 5 eggs because of the heat problems. Im sorry newegg I know I have been a dedicated customer for years but I bought it from a local retailer because of a $100 difference in price.

Pros: Works Great
Cons: None
Awesome!!!

Pros: Great airflow, all around an awesome case.
Cons: Didn't come with a 2nd 200mm fan for the top and 120mm for inside, but not enough to take any eggs away.
Overall Review: Got the case from newegg for 179.99 after promo code. Got an extra 200mm fan for the top. If you didn't know you can add an extra 120mm fan for the inside that goes directly behind the pci-e slots for added cooling for your graphics cards.
