silent but deadly

Pros: about 11250 3dmark fire strike (not extreme), dx12 future proof, silent
Cons: cost
Overall Review: best card available today; cooler and quieter than my gtx 660 ti at same TDP
Origin seems to vary

Pros: You might get Singapore discs; price is decent
Cons: You might get Indian discs; shipping
Overall Review: I got Indian discs and they have errors on verification frequently, seems to be a crapshoot with the 3gg on this product.
Perfect understated case for modern gaming rig

Pros: Plenty of room for radiators and large GPUs without the wasted space of a drive cage No RGB Decent fans included
Cons: None
Overall Review: Fits a RTX 5080 and a top 240mm AIO with no issues and very little wasted space. I bet it would fit a 5090 but check the dimensions. Nice and thin but still has room for the GPU being "wider" than the PCIE slots. I replaced my front fans with Noctua but in hindsight with my temps I don't think this was necessary. Great temps under 3dmark stress tests. There is little reason to go larger than this if you don't run a bunch of old 3.5" drives.
well priced X299 with good feature set

Pros: 2x M.2 slots, one with heat spreader Intel LAN RGB Good price vs features Effortless overclock, 7740X at 4.8ghz via 1.248v Dedicated pump header Decent software Good diagnostic LEDs
Cons: wish there was a micro atx but I guess theres not enough room for the dimm slots weird dimm config if you are in single channel with a kaby lake- be sure to double check manual no wifi (but helps keep cost down)
Overall Review: Good solid OC board for 100 less than many others
Excellent low priced C236 board with 3x PCI-e 16x size slots

Pros: - 3 pci-e x16 length slots, I have a geforce gtx 1050, quad port nic, and LSI SAS HBA in mine - good bios interface and built in EFI (for flashing HBA etc) - shipped with latest bios installed
Cons: - single NIC, would basically be perfect board with another intel nic - would be nice to have ipmi but again good to keep price down - x1 slots are just not useful for anything really, maybe have just one x4 or something - no SLI, do not buy this board for SLI, but it will work fine for OpenCL type stuff where the cards run independent
Overall Review: By far the best Skylake Xeon workstation board I can find anywhere, for a very reasonable price. I am going to buy a spare after xmas. If you are used to stoneage super micro bios this bios will blow you away
great small nas, fantastic os

Pros: Best NAS OS available; decent speed and price
Cons: Cheap plastic housing, needs front USB ports
Overall Review: I have used Buffalo, QNAP, Nexenta, and several Linux based NAS distros and nothing compares to Synology DSM.
