A lot of power
Pros: A lot of power to run my dual Nvidia Geforce 670GTX's along with my 4.0ghz 8 core processor and 9 fans and still leave head room for upgrade should I ever need it. Top that with a good price and silver certification, and you have got yourself a freakin decent psu!
Cons: Sometime will not turn on unless I switch it off in the back and then back on. Can't tell if this is the mobo or psu but I have had the psu just power off. EXTREMELY RARE OCCURRENCE so only 1 egg off.
Overall Review: Actually very quiet as the name implies. Glad I settled with this.
Good but flawed
Pros: Keeps all components super cool with all the fans it comes with. Dual Nvidia Geforce 670 GTX's at 35c idle 52c under full load. AMD 4.0ghz 8 core processor at 17c idle and 55-60c under full load The separate hard drive section is an amazing and the dedicated fans for it keep them amazingly cool even under a large transfer. Tons of space to work with Great green tinted side panel window.
Cons: The first case I received was a mess. The front fan was smashed completely out of the front along with all of the 5.25' covers. Newegg was awesome in their RMA and the new case was here in decent time. The second cases only issue is that one of the fans on the top turns off when I turn off the led with the dimmer on the case. I checked my cables and they are all properly connected so this is an odd issue (maybe fan siezing up in the bearings?). Going to invest in a fan controller for this issue. The front case cover feels fragile but I baby my system so I doubt it will ever break as some reviewers have managed to do.
Overall Review: I love this case and the cons should not direct you away from it. The two eggs off is for the first case being damaged but I am assuming it was in shipping that the damage was done.
Great Mobo
Pros: Enough connectors for a gaming, media, and editing computer for a ton of hard drives, 2 graphic cards, and multiple other upgrades.
Cons: none i can think of
Overall Review: Came with a disk with a couple utilities that come in handy so that's cool!
Great processor with minor hiccups.
Pros: Renders full hd video and high quality audio FAST! Included fan and heatsink keeps temperatures at a cool 17c when Idling and 50c at full load.
Cons: At startup sometimes a single core maxes out and causes the system to freeze where a restart is required. Sometimes certain cores will flux in temp extremely high and cause the fan to max out.
Overall Review: The cons are a rare instance and a restart generally fixes them so only 1 egg off. otherwise, 4.0ghz on 8 cores is perfect at its' price point.
It's a dvd drive
Pros: Decent drive at a low price point.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Does what it is supposed to.
A lot of space a little slow
Pros: Huge storage capacity, great for a movie editor like myself with 1080p footage. CrystalDisk check after 6 months says all is good on both of these that I bought. Reads full 1080p files flawlessly.
Cons: Takes a while to "wake up" and transfer speed go way down during a large file transfer (more than 2gb).
Overall Review: Happy with my purchase and am planning on buying another as soon as I fill up 1.
