Great mobo
Pros: -LOTS of features -Has overclocking programs
Cons: -Smaller than ATX. This makes the balance of the board off, so when putting in the ram, I heard constant creaking - only 3 PCI-e slots. this limits some PC fanatics to SLI/CF-ing from 4 cards to 3.
Overall Review: Some of the red components on this card is UV reactive.
Piece of poop
Pros: 600W for 60 bucks.
Cons: Not rated, random computer shut downs. DO NOT BUY
Overall Review: My PC set up was beyond perfect. Air in and air out. temperature was all very low yet, this thing would give out mid-gaming.
This is it. This is the case
Pros: Enough space to fit 2 360 radiator and 1 240 radiator. I've gone through about 5 full atx model cases and this is the best I've had yet. It's a sleek design, there is a front panel that probably slightly restricts airflow but honestly I think it's worth a couple of degrees of heat for the sleek look. They made a compartment so that the Power supply unit is hidden underneath which makes the computer case EXTREMELY organized. This is nearly revolutionary imho. Not sure if other cases do this besides the NZXT h440 or h660 or whatever. But definitely kudos to Phanteks for doing this. My setup has never looked more beautiful. The case also comes with a nice little "pill" box for the screws where we can organize our already existing screws into the box. I found this amazing. Of the 6-7 cases (including midsize cases) I've never seen a computer case come with a screw organizer.
Cons: The side window is split into 2. Not sure why? They should have had the Phanteks logo at least illuminated for aesthetic reasons because it just looks so... empty in the small side window.
Overall Review: People have been complaining non-stop about all of Phantek's cases that have side windows. Saying theres no protection for the side-windows. I believe they have changed that around. My windows came with a nice film to protect from getting scratches and the toolbox that came with the case was snuggly fit in there. And this is even after my case had to be redelivered three times. Three times it survived the hands of a deliveryman (who quite frankly usually doesnt give a rat's but about our stuff)
Great Fans. Poop Price
Pros: This fan is everything people have been advertising it as. It's sleek, it's quiet, and it pushes air. What more can you look for in a fan?
Cons: The price of these is ridiculous. I bought 4 of these fans and 4 basic fans from silvertek at 8 bucks a pop. they push air similarly and both generate little to no sound. Not sure why i pay 2-3 times the price per fan when I can get silvertek. Nonetheless, i ordered them and they're good enough to keep but doubt I'll ever purchase more of these. Oh and the color is hideous for those who like showing a little bling-age to their case, try to get a dark grey version of these.
Working fan
Pros: Works fine Truly silent UV reactive indeed
Cons: Green LED burns bright, cancelling the UV effect. I had to clip the wires to turn off the UV
GREAT GPU
Pros: SLI works wonders. SLI-ing these produces MUCH better results than a single 980. While benchmarking, I seldom dropped under 60 fps. This is without overclocking
Cons: -ATM i'm using a UV light to light up my computer, later going to switch to white lights. So for now, it's annoying that there are white lights coming from the graphics card. These lights indicate whether or not there is adequate power for the graphics card. If it isn't adequate it will glow red. - The cards are fat so if you plan on watercooling with EK FC-670 DCII, you won't be able to connect it with a EK CSQ bridge.
