About the heat....

SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100361-8GL
SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100361-8GL

Pros: FYI people, Sapphire makes all of AMDs reference cards.

Cons: Some people complain about the heat. anyone who says 50 C is too hot, do not pay any attention to them. These cards are rated to run 90+ C. They just run hot by design. Again 50C is not hot for a gpu

Most Critical Review

Maybe good for some.... not my experience.

GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO AM5 LGA 1718, ATX, DDR5, 4x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO AM5 LGA 1718, ATX, DDR5, 4x M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty

Pros: -It's a good looking board -Updating BIOS without booting is nice and easy -Quick latches for M.2 and covers is fantastic

Cons: - First board, bent CPU pin -Second board DOA

Overall Review: - I would not recommend Gigabyte Motherboards for people at this point. That bridge has burned for me. This is the most expensive board I have ever purchased and to get 2 bad ones in a row is crazy. I've never bought a component that was DOA previously, not one. -I will say their tech support is responsive if you call them and they are very helpful to try and diagnose your issue.

Awesome Controller

Black 6 Channel Multi Fan Controller
Black 6 Channel Multi Fan Controller

Pros: Everything works as promised it looks great and would go best with a corsair obsidian series case with a brushed finish. Easy install and simple instructions for beginners.

Cons: The only con i have which is not worthy of an egg drop is I wish the knobs were a bit more robust.

Overall Review: Wonderful product. Zalman should maybe make some with sleeved cables to bump the overall quality?
