Very good so far
Pros: Easy setup. No issues. Running I7 6900k at 4.4 and 64gb Trident Z at 3200. Audio quality is very good.
Cons: Post times are a bit slow. The included headphone amp is useless to me. Leave it out and drop the price. Asus Sonic Studio user interface causes crashes in Sysinternals Autoruns.
Overall Review: The 6900k runs hot. 4.4 was the best I could get at 1.3v.
Messy
Pros: The rice comes out just fine
Cons: This cooker makes a mess. Water boils out the top and splatters everywhere. No amount of pre-rice cleaning prevents this. Poor design on the steam vent. My previous $19 cooker did not have this issue.
A good motherboard with DDR4 support
Pros: This MB has all the right specs. Intel ethernet, Intel wireless, and Realtek 4080 sound. The board looks good and has plenty of SATA and M2 connections. The big plus for me is the DDR4 support. DDR5 is not available and there are not many high quality DDR4 boards.
Cons: The price is high, but everything is high these days.
Overall Review: I have always bought Asus motherboards. This is my first MSI board, although I have bought many of their graphics cards. I hope I do as well with their MB as I have done with their GPU's. I will update as time progresses. This review is for the MSI rebate program.
Good card, bad Newegg
Pros: Like all 1080TI's it is a super fast card. This one is well built and runs below 70c.
Cons: Bad Newegg. The price dropped $10, within 6 days of me getting the card, and Newegg would not honor a price guarantee on the product. An easy way to lose a good customer for a lousy $10.
Pros: Great card. Easily overclocks to the specs of the 1182 card, so save yourself $40.
Cons: None, except I could have won this in a Newegg contest.
Watch out for the rebate
Pros: I have the 300GB and its a great drive.
Cons: Took 3 months for the rebate to arrive. WD should be ashamed.
