Pros: Runs cool and without issue. Even under heavy prolonged gaming it has no heat issues. I have it paired with the ASRock 990FX Extreme9 under CF in Win 8.1 and the performance is extremely stable. Boot time is near non existent.

Cons: Nothing to report.

Overall Review: If you set up your system with the right hardware, heat is not a issue and performance is flawless. I built this system specifically as a gaming rig and have not been disappointed. Bought for $219 on sale, with $65 gift card ended up spending $155.98. I did change the push /pull fan setup with 2-CM Excalibur's. This added to the excellent temperatures and the overall quietness of this system. I am presently building a custom water cooling system that will cool the CPU and both video cards and will repurpose the water cooler that came with this CPU.

Pros: Excellent compatibility, high quality memory, no timing issues with AMD Bulldozer CPU's. Very reasonable cost.

Cons: none

Overall Review: AMD and Patriot have done a excellent job getting the AMD system a dedicated memory. I have had no issues running this memory in my current AMD FX setup. I am running: Asus 990FX Sabertooth AMD FX-8150BE 2- Asus 6950's in CF 8 GB of AMD DDR3 1600 2-WD VelociRaptor's OCZ 1000w ProXStream

Pros: The looks and space. You will never be at a loss for space in this case. This case has many options for a clean build but is missing a few as well. CoolerMaster has outstanding customer service and will send you parts that were damaged during shipping upon verification of the cases model and serial number. Kudos to CoolerMaster for standing behind their products.

Cons: Plastic and steel rather than aluminum. I would pay the difference for a cleaner build. The days of their Stacker 830 ended giving way to a steel and plastic build quality. When the case is full of your components, it weighs a ton. They needed to add wheels like the Stacker had so you could roll it when it needed servicing. CoolerMaster, this is a option that needs to be added to this case.

Overall Review: My only grip is the amount of plastic and weight, during shipping both cases (original and replacement) were damaged. Not the cases fault but UPS, and Newegg for not shipping in a protective package outside of the cases original box. Other companies offer better packaging for shipping. Try offering a shipping upgrade Newegg and damaged cases would become a thing of the past.

Pros: Realism, there is no run and gun with this game Graphics are intense, you begin to feel the environment the more you play. You need a good video card to appreciate the beauty of this game Open World, decisions are based on real time tactics, You decide how to approach your target to achieve your goals. Takes advantage of the inexperienced, but as you play this game is training and teaching you how to operate in a theater of war. It brings out the experienced player to appreciate this game. 1st patch/Skirmish pack has been released and the second one will be coming in the beginning of 2010

Cons: Giving orders are a bit clunky, All the whiners that cry when they realize this isn't a run and gun like COD and MOH series. Could use some more color but it works. Some glitches but they are being addressed by the developer with patches and updates.

Overall Review: This is definitely not for the impatient. This is a tactical strategic, war simulator game. You need to think before attacking your objectives and while attacking. Use your binoculars, and study the dam terrain. Plan your approach. If you can't accept that you are vulnerable to lead than play something else.

Pros: DFI and the over clocking possibilities, stability, great customer service and support, Quality. This is a great board even in this day and time, it supports the Phenom II CPU's available now.

Cons: Price when I bought it, outside of that, well I can't think of any.....Well one, the 600 SB. Too bad it did not have the 750 SB on it. But keeping it fair, the 750 SB was not available at this boards release date.

Overall Review: I do not understand why someone would buy a MB and not have the full capacity to install, tweak and enjoy without whining. Nothing is perfect, but this board comes close. It has been a great performer and will last me till my next update when DFI releases a hybrid AM3 board like this hybrid AM2+
