Pros: Adaptive voltage makes overclocking while still using energy saving features simple. Q-fan autotune works well to make a simple curve.

Cons: documentation on Sabertooth specific features isn't great. AI Suite still stinks after all this time.

Overall Review: I like the bios features. i7-4790k I used adaptive voltage to OC to 4.6Ghz while power min-processor % still works. It can lower the multipler while idled without needing to add voltage offsets. Don't install AI Suite Thermal Radar. Their uninstall STILL doesn't work after all these years. It did a terrible job of controlling the fans. I'm not sure the thermal armor does a great job with VRM cooling. It seems to run hot. If you use liquid cooling you rely on the aux fans to blow through the air channel. The aux fans that cool the VRM should probably default to using the VRM temp since if you liquid cool the CPU then that temp doesn't relate. Also, don't drop a screw and have it roll under the thermal armor. That's potentially a real pain to remove if the screw get's caught.

Pros: Silicon Image 3124 chipset, inexpensive

Cons: ---> WILL NOT WORK AT 3.3V <---- Form factor a poor fit, External sata connectors extremely close to board edge and may be blocked by case. May not even fix PCI-x slots without some effort. Thus, you attach a drive and get a BSOD in a 3.3v PCI-x slot or newer PCI standard slots.

Overall Review: This card should work in PCI slots with PCI 2.2 or prior standards or the, rather uncommon, 5V PCI-x slots. Older PCI standard supports either 5V or 3.3V while newer only supports 3.3V. Contrary to some comments it *is* valid to have a 32 bit PCI-x half size card but that won't help much if the voltage is wrong. While the card has Universal PCI keys, which should indicate either 3.3V or 5V support, it will not work at 3.3V.

Pros: - Small size and light weight is actually a plus - Puts out heat quickly - ALCI circuit breaker was my specific requirement.

Cons: - Gauge of power cord could be larger. - Plug and cord get really hot at high. I suggest not leaving it on high for too long.

Overall Review: When I saw the size of the box I thought that I had made a mistake and gotten something too small to do anything! Fortunately, I was wrong. This little heater really puts out the heat and the fan reaches pretty far as well. It doesn't have oscillation rotation but that's fine. It doesn't need that. When it arrived, I had to reset the breaker on the plug out of the box so don't be surprised if you have to do that before it runs.

Pros: - Made by APC is a plus for me - Six outlets on battery, 3 surge only. Something like a printer shouldn't be on battery backup. - Lighter than expected - No significant problems - Good fit behind equipment or on the wall - Protected USB charging port

Cons: - The battery connect plug is really hard to get in all the way so the unit sits flat. Just push harder. :| - No data port for powerchute, etc. I couldn't find any Smart-UPS model which was this small though.

Overall Review: Over the years I've had other brands fail much more often so stopped trusting some of them. Not the battery, but the units themselves. I haven't had issues with APC. I would like to know how much "conditioning" of the power exists on the battery and surge-only outlets but couldn't find that in the docs.

Pros: 4K @ 120Mhz with a 1ms response time. The picture is great, there were no issues at all there for me. It works how an OLED should. Originally I had a 21:9 display which was great for most things but terrible with some games and with most streaming services only using 70% of the available display space. Full 4K with this monitor is so much better but, then again, that's be the case for any true 4K display. I wanted a monitor and not a television I could use as a monitor. So, no streaming apps or TV/cable tuner that I don't need. It's made for use as a display with displayport probably being the preferred option. HDMI 2.1 with the appropriate cable will work with 4K. It has a remote so no worries about losing important functionality because the physical buttons get worn out or broken. There are display settings for sRBG, Standard, RTS/RPG, FPS, Arcade, and the default "Green". There are no explanations so it takes a bit of experimentation. Note that something like sRBG might be good for gaming but looks terrible for streaming video (not full color range/blotchy-blocky colors, etc) so you need to remember to switch them back if you change them. Monitor can get Firmware updates so hopefully any issues can be resolved.

Cons: Displayport still has issues. It will occasionally drop the connection, display static for a second, and then freeze until a restart. I tried multiple cables including a Fiber-optic cable with the same results. HDMI doesn't have this issue. Gigabyte support doesn't seem very good. About 3 weeks and my ticket is still at a "new" status. It is the holiday season so I hope this isn't normal. Searching on the topic of Gigabyte support doesn't provide encouraging feedback about this. APCS for pixel burn-in protection is really clumsy to use. I have to either use the menu to activate it manually or actually turn off the monitor for it to run automatically (white blinking led). It does not run if I sign off and the power saving drops the signal to the monitor. The monitor just goes into standby (orange led) without running the APCS. After running APCS the monitor turns OFF. Speaking of standby, at this time the monitor does not exit from standby if I use the keyboard to "wake" the computer. I have to press the center button on the remote which defaults to the input selection and that generally does it. The default feet/mounting are at the extreme ends of this monitor making it harder to place on a desktop unless the space is much wider than the monitor. Be careful not to accidentally tip the monitor over the edge of your desk or shelf. Sitting on my desk the bottom of display is rather low and it seems like the bottom is farther away than the top. It isn't really, but it looks that way looking at it head-on. The monitor does have a 300x300 VESA mount, with the screws already present, and weights around 40 lbs. I found a really nice mounting replacement with a much smaller footprint/base and with tilt and swivel. This improved my experience greatly. The software isn't great. There is OSD-Sidekick which is installed with Gigabyte Control Center which doesn't save the hotkey assignments making that useless. There is an alternate version online with an entirely different version which does save hotkey assignments.

Overall Review: I'm still not 100% certain I made the right choice of this monitor over the most mentioned alternative which, despite having TV/Cable functionality built in, is the same price but often discounted. Notes (not pro or con): Download updates: https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/Utility/Monitor You'll want the Gigabyte Control Center. This will do things like check for firmware updates and installs Sidekick which lets you see the firmware version and settings. There is a separate version (B22.0607.1) from the one installed with GCC for some reason but this apparently older version at least allowed the hotkey assignments to persist. Make sure you get the current firmware for the monitor. After updating the firmware close OSD Sidekick and restart it otherwise it'll have the wrong firmware detected and probably crash. The LED light is a very thin strip at the bottom of the monitor beneath the AORUS logo. It can be hard to spot in bright lighting. That's a good thing for using the monitor in a dark room to stream movies though. A more obvious and brighter LED would be annoying in those conditions. The "dashboard" showing CPU Temp, GPU Temp, etc. uses the same settings for transparency and size as the main monitor OSD for options and settings which isn't obvious. Also, position is not adjustable from left to right so it might be inconveniently located. The complete dashboard "footprint" doesn't get smaller if you hide unwanted values so the dark frame around the dashboard will be larger than necessary. The gaming timer setting has the full set of locations (left/right/top/center/bottom) so it'd be great if the dashboard did as well. My original "8K" displayport cable would often lose signal when starting videos but a replacement has no issues. So, if the screen suddenly shows pixelated/static and then black requiring a restart then try a different brand of cable.

Pros: - Really works with original Oculus Rift CV1 sensors - Tall! - flexible position - good quality

Cons: I haven't found any yet

Overall Review: I was worried that the sensors really wouldn't fit the threads on my original Oculus Rift sensors but they work perfectly. The ball heads make it possible to adjust to whatever position is necessary. These stands are really tall too!
