Pros: -Installation was a breeze* -Runs super cool* -Applications run super fast, open super quick. -Handles all my games**** -Overclocked to 4.3ghz with the push of a button. Headroom for higher overclock I'm sure. -Runs idle at 24c, 35c under heavy load (Prime95, hours of gaming)***

Cons: -Wasn't free? -Doesn't Overclock easy past the initial boost your motherboard might give**

Overall Review: *Specs: Rosewill Future Gaming case AMD FX-6100 CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus w/ additional fan ASUS Sabertooth 990FX XFX Radeon HD 6870 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 Ram 8GB Patriot DDR3 1333 Ram Mushkin Sata III 120gb SSD **OC'd to 4.3ghz simply by clicking 'performance' in the UEFI under my BIOS. I could not get it to go higher reliably without causing crashing using AI Suite II in windows, but maybe that's the problem. I did not dock any eggs for this, I'm sure I just need to find the sweet spot and explore my regular BIOS a little more. ***I live in a very cold desert, and my studio is tile, so I'm sure that helps contribute to the great temps. Summer will be a different story. ****Playing League of Legends, The Old Republic, Team Fortress 2, Diablo III Beta, Starcraft II, and Battlefield 3.

Pros: Has every modern convenience you need for a 9800X3D (or similar) platform.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Paired with a 9800X3D, ROG Astral 5090 and 32gb of 6000mt ram.

Pros: Heavy duty 360 RAD Fun screen to personalize your machine

Cons: You have to use Armoury Crate

Overall Review: Easy install, fun to load gifs on the screen.

Pros: Great high end mobo for bleeding edge components (when purchased). Combined with a Core 7 265k, 48gb of UDIMM memory and an RTX 5080 it has been rock solid as a gaming machine.

Cons: A bit on the pricey side.

Overall Review: If you're buying a board like this, you know what you're getting and you already know if you love or hate the aesthetic. I love it, no question.

Pros: I have this paired with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265k and 48gb of RAM to power a nice 4k gaming machine. It's super quiet and temps are good.

Cons: It, like most top end cards, is very big. Make sure you have the clearance.

Overall Review: I'm not usually a fan of the TUF aesthetic, but this works well in a dark build with its slight amount of RGB.

Pros: Cool design for a case or build where you can actually show this off, though even in the ideal use case (sitting in a strix helios case) the alignment seems a little off for showing off the logo. Great modular cables. Handles a 5090 and 9800 X3D.

Cons: ROG tax

Overall Review: This is a 1200w power supply that does its job, there's not much more to say.
