Pros: - Purrs like a kitten, and that's only when the fans are on (they aren't if it isn't hot) - this thing is more quiet then the sound of silence - plenty of cables to use with it

Cons: - none

Overall Review: the SATA cables only have 3 inch gaps between the 3 plugs on each cable, makes the need to have all the power connectors in close proximity. It worked for me but I can see say having a CDROM drive up top and having to run a single cable just to that which would be a waste of a sata cable since there are 3 on each. So maybe if they included a single plug sata connector that would be super on future models.

Pros: It has a back light and a USB hub on the back of it which I liked for convenience as it was close to me and didn't have to reach down to my tower. It does allow to play movies or display pictures on the lcd but is somewhat difficult to get what you want easily. I do really enjoy the rolling volume key though.

Cons: Constantly hitting the customizable G keys in place of Shift, Control, Tab, etc. The keys are too difficult to setup for anything useful and don't add actual keys to the system rather its just combo'd macro keys which may be usefull but unless your playing games like warcraft its pretty useless. The screen overall is a waste of time as it doesn't have profiles for most of the games I play such as RIFT or Eve-Online, etc. It only shows up for games like world of tanks or League of Legends, and doesn't even provide useful statistics that I need to look at during the game. And don't even bother setting up your own as it requires scripting/programming knowledge.

Overall Review: Overall the keyboard has good potential, but as a gaming keyboard it doesn't integrate the way a gamer needs it too nor does it provide programability and the ease to setup new games as you start them. In any case tonight when I awoke my keyboard's space bar as now quit working, so I need to send it in or toss it. I'll leave it too you to decide to try this keyboard. I did like it for a while, but remove the screen and there are much better gaming keyboards.

Pros: - Always ran everything I threw at it. - capable of gaming on star citizen coupled with a 770gx but this cpu pair with a newer 1080 could last a bit for gaming much longer - good for rendering multithreaded for its time, still handles vm's pretty well when i use it. - still a solid chip to use for video/graphics editing on a budget - capable of streaming at 720p on twitch while gaming at 1080p medium graphics with most games

Cons: non really, outlasted its projected life by about 5:1 and I still use it for everything short of the newest gaming and streaming, I have a new Ryzen setup for that

Overall Review: Still would be a great processor for an every day machine, movies, gaming on most titles still with a new gpu, runs vm's and servers great, obviously this isn't going to cut it for creating a 4k-8k video content but it wasn't never designed too. It can achieve the potential of its era and still some after but if your going for 2k-4k-8k content now, you will need to give up this processor for something new.

Pros: Tested reads at around 2200mb/s and writes at about half that. Can be used as a boot drive, still beats my Evo 850's like they are dated ATA drives.

Cons: bought it at 256gb instead of 512gb

Overall Review: Best hard drive replacement both internal or for external usb you can find. These are the future and they are here now, and after 2 years of use I'll never touch a regular ssd for a hdd again, these m.2's cannot be match by a typical hard drive. They are worth every penny of performance.

Pros: - Runs great out of box - No bloatware software - works great coupled with 3200 CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (runs after easily setting xmp profile in bios) no bios update required

Cons: - none

Pros: - 1 tube was enough for 2-3 cpu's - worked great for both my corsair hv100 v2 cpu water cooler and my stock fx8370 cpu fan - doesn't have rgb but it is shiny!

Cons: - none
