Fast
Pros: This was part of my first build. -I've gotten it up to 3.9GHz when overclocking -7.7 on the Windows Experience Index -Doesn't get too hot
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Sorry that I haven't said much. This is my first build and I've only had it for about a month. Coming from a Toshiba laptop user that uses a dual-core processor, this new CPU is ridiculously-faster.
A Fantastic Value Monitor for Mid to High Range Gaming PCs
Pros: If you're in the mid to high range gaming PC market and are looking for a great monitor to get the most mileage out of your system, this monitor is a fantastic value. The 144hz refresh rate makes it almost impossible to go back to the standard 60hz and is smooth as butter. Although advertised as an AMD Freesync monitor, the display is also GSYNC compatible and functions flawlessly. The size is quite good for a small to medium sized desk. If you install MSI Dragon Center you are also able to adjust the LED strip along the bottom of the unit to your liking. Overall, I highly recommend this unit. 5 stars.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: -I would recommend this product.
First one was DOA.
Pros: -Quiet -Fits snug in my case -Modular
Cons: -My first one came DOA. I'm a first-time builder, so I was worried when I couldn't tell if it was the motherboard or the PSU that was defective. (It was both unfortunately)
Overall Review: I hope it has a long lifespan ahead of it. I'm not too upset about the first one being DOA, I'm happy with my new one. I wish they would have tested my first one before shipping it out from the factory.
Smooth and HUGE.
Pros: -Very smooth -Ridiculously huge
Cons: I have no issues with it. It's a little too big for where I have my set-up, but that's just me.
Overall Review: A great product, I'll be sure to remember XTrac for when I get another someday.
Fast!
Pros: This is my first build, so you have to understand that I'm upgrading from 8 year old console hardware to a high-end monster like this. -Absolutely decimates any game coming out of the console market, graphics-wise -2GB is more than enough. I'm able to max out GTA IV with ENB at 60fps using only 1200MB! -Maxes out pretty much any game I throw at it. -GPU boost is helpful to a newcomer like me who doesn't know how to overclock
Cons: -Really big, but that's just as much do with your case size.
Overall Review: I'm glad I finally made the jump from consoles to PC. I absolutely adore this card and don't see myself really needing any big upgrades for a few more years.
Sturdy with a friendly interface.
Pros: -The BIOS menus are very easy to navigate, which is a godsend for me considering this is my first build -Very sturdy -I like the color scheme :P
Cons: -First one was DOA -On boot-up there's always a "CPU Fan" error. All you have to do is set the bios to ignore the CPU fan altogether and it goes away.
Overall Review: I wasn't too bummed-out about the first one being broken considering I hadn't yet received the other parts for my build. Very happy with it overall.
