Pros: This uATX board has plenty of "USEFUL" features at a great price, and it fits the application perfectly: HTPC. It's nice to disable unneeded devices like IDE, 1394, COM, LPT, etc. Even for a "budget" uATX P55 board, it has overclocking features and the ability to adjust memory clock ratio (no need to be stuck with synchonized clocks when overclocking the CPU). So for HTPC, this board is perfect and runs great out of the box with 4x2GB DDR3 memory loaded and paired with i5 750.

Cons: With the OrigenAE s14v case, the right angle SATA ports are blocked by the drive cage. With a 9.5" dual slot graphics card like the HD 5850, the card covers over the SATA ports. So the card needs to be pulled when changing SATA connections. Also, the ports are a bit weak so it is easy to tug and pull the SATA cables without pressing down the clip.

Pros: It's a PWM fan that fits with the Scythe Ninja Mini Rev B. heat sink.

Cons: Annoying "buzz" at maximum speed. At 50%, I can still hear the slight "buzz" from the fan. Cooling performance is decent.

Overall Review: Very fast for everyday use. I have a 512GB for a scratch drive and 1TB for Steam games. It's definitely quicker than a standard SSD.

Pros: It just works.

Overall Review: This is the 2nd pair purchased for another Shuttle XPC Slim DH310S build using a Pentium G5400. Runs great with zero issues.

Pros: - Tool-free setup - Customizable RGB lighting with option to turn it all off including the power button light. - 120 Hz maximum refresh rate at native resolution. - G-Sync for smooth game play. - Excellent colors once calibrated.

Cons: - Thinner bezels would be nice. - No "white" color in the RGB control panel. - No brightness option in the RGB control panel. - Some IPS backlight bleed in the corners. - Corners slightly dimmer than the rest of the display.

Overall Review: - Maximum 100 Hz default; 105 Hz with overclock enabled; Maxes out at 120 Hz with overclock enabled. - Zero dead pixels out of the box - G-Sync relatively easy to setup. Enabled by default once plugged in. Make sure in-game VSYNC is disabled. - Pairs up nicely with the 2080 Ti. Even at lower frame rates game play is very smooth.

Pros: -Speeds work as advertised even with the XMP profile. -Memtest passed flawlessly out of the box after running over 7 hours. -Value

Cons: -The plastic packaging.

Overall Review: - Motherboard Used: Asus Z170-A - Board might default SPD to 2133 MHz in AUTO even with XMP profile loaded, but manually setting SPD was fine. - Always run Memtest86 or HCI Design MemTest for Windows to inspect the memory sticks (needs to run with 0 errors).
