Pros: comes with low profile bracket i don't understand why some reviewers mention the heatsink extending past the pci-e slot, this is not the case. The card idles @ 50C and reaches 65C under load which is acceptable for a fanless card. The packaging was excellent and the card performed flawlessly (I am using the card instead of the integrated Intel HD 2000) Card exudes quality

Cons: I do not game so I cannot attest for the thermal properties of the card under such loads. It is not a gaming card, it is a pure HTPC card!

Pros: Specs appear good. Unfortunately it appears LG isn't familiar with the concept of quality control and their support is nonexistent.

Cons: Initial order had a dead pixel and severe light bleed. starting S/N 310 I asked for 3 replacements until giving up and asking for a refund. 1st replacement: S/N 311, no dead pixels this time but light bleed all over the panel. 2nd replacement: S/N 311, no dead pixels but light bleed on lower part of panel and restarted/overheated. Presentation in box was different than the other replacements since the tab that is used to lift the tablet from the box was under the unit. 3rd replacement: S/N 310. Immediately obvious was the worst light bleed i have seen on the upper edge, slight bleed on lower edge. Yellow band on top. Fingerprints on box.

Overall Review: For my last replacement I spoke with a representative and requested a newer batch, serial number starting with 312 or greater. The screen QC has reportedly been resolved in these newer batches. He informed me that he will try and contact the warehouse. Request was ignored, warehouse appears to be Memphis,TN. Newegg chat/representatives have been helpful but appears I have no luck. 2 months since initial order ending up in a refund! If you would like to gamble then order one of these, some individuals appear to have received good units. I was left chasing Unicorns! Newegg service was good but there appears to be a breakdown in communication somewhere. Do not contact LG, they have the worst support I have seen. After a 3 hour wait they offered to 'repair' a new unit should I have chosen to wait 2 weeks!

Pros: spreads easily, tends to last

Cons: not the best performance, not ideal for direct die applications

Overall Review: good choice if you need to repaste a lot of chips

Pros: no instructions needed, plug and play

Overall Review: so far, so good. recommended

Pros: -this thing is tiny! -the hard drive cage is well designed -front fan is 120mm and you can position it 2 ways -has an optical drive slot -dust filter/ intake on the bottom panel -easy access to rear of motherboard -some cable routing options

Cons: -rear fan is 80mm only -the rear fan on mine was DOA, I recommend an enlobal or silentx fan as a replacement.

Overall Review: -would be nice if the front panel had a grill to improve airflow -if you want to use an optical drive then you can't use a long PSU but my Seasonic 620W bronze fits fine -I was able to use a 92mm cooler and two (2) 3.5 HDD (one horizontally under the optical drive and one vertically in the drive cage); but I did have to shift the 92mm fan lower on the cooler to clear the sata/pwr connectors. -the side 120mm fan mount can't be used if you have a high profile cooler, but if you're running a stock fan it should help. Installation steps: First install PSU, then remove entire front panel and slide in optical drive, attach sata/pwr to ODD, install 120mm front fan, reattach front panel taking care to route the front panel connectors neatly, install motherboard, install HDDs, enjoy!

Pros: I originally believed this was an excellent board flaunting Japanese caps... I was so wrong. First board ended up getting stuck in a constant boot loop/no post a couple months after it was deployed. I RMA'ed: corrupted bios (Dual BIOS I guess isn't working?); Gigabyte opted to reflash the BIOS, I trusted them. The board then sat on the shelf for about 2 years up until I deployed it a couple months ago. The RMA board worked for a month then started boot looping again. Now Gigabyte won't fix it. The spare board was from a competitor brand. It is still working and was cheaper. Each time the boards were tried with known working PSUs (3); cpus (2) and ram (3 from different branded vendors)

Cons: Gigabyte support is slow; the reps aren't knowledgeable. The RMA work isn't thorough.
