could be worse
Pros: looks good easy instal like the bios set up easy to use
Cons: had problems with first ram purchased for S2E, make sure to look at quality vendor list for board
Overall Review: This is a great mobo if you get lucky, it seems that you either get a good 790i set or you don't, and it doesn't matter what brand you go with they all have the same problem with the chips. Also beware that some people had problems with the fusion block leaking. once you get the board update bios to 901 and you should be on your way :)
just as good as the older version
Pros: Good design does what its supposed to easy install works just as good as the older version
Cons: one of the fans is giving me problems here and there
Overall Review: I only gave the it three eggs since one of the fans has started to make a lot of noise recently. It happens irrtaically, so times it makes a racket and some times it is quite as can be. It seems to be just a bad fan. but hey fans do go bad.
nice fan
Pros: moves tons of air great price
Cons: loud if not using a fan controller
Overall Review: this is a great fan, had no problems with any of the three I purchased. I recommend you get a fan controller to keep the noise to a dull roar.
not too shaby
Pros: Looks great easy to install decent temps not to loud helps cool surrounding components
Cons: install bracket design kinda cheap fealing temps not as good as other coolers in same price range
Overall Review: This is a great cooler if you are looking to run stock speeds. This cooler is NOT FOR OVERCLOCKING!
not for the striker II extreme
Pros: looks good
Cons: didn't work well with the striker II extreme mobo from asus
Overall Review: I know it works well with other mobo's. I didn't look at the QVL's for the S2E and had a lot of tweeking before I sent this mem back for a different brand. OCZ is a good brand and haven't had probs before, but it didn't work with the S2E mobo. Just make sure to look at both OCZ and your mobo's QVL lists before buying either.
good stuff
Pros: easy install and doesn't look bad
Cons: none
