Great board
Pros: This here is a really fine board, it runs my qx6700 just fine, and i was able to overclock it to 3.4ghz stable with no probs. It has many options, you can change the voltages of everything. In case you're wondering, it DOES overclock quad cores. The board is made solid, and cools well. Theres plenty of ports for everything you need. It boots quickly and doesn't give any hassles during installation.
Cons: Uhm, not really a con but it doesn't have a 2nd IDE channel. But thats my fault because I don't have another sata harddrive ;].
Overall Review: Also the board is pretty big so make sure you have a case that can fit it. Don't be fooled by the eVga 680i A1 board, this does all of the same stuff this board does, so save yourself the money and go with this one. If you plan on using a quad core processor make sure you have an 8-pin CPU power connector on your power supply. If not just get an adapter for 2 bucks like i did.
Gskill DDR3 Ram
Pros: This memory is absolutely superb. It's DDR3 speeds with DDR2 timings, what more could you want? I haven't done much testing but they seem like very capable modules. They stay very cool.
Cons: It didn't boot up at the correct settings in my EVGA 790i motherboard. Just make sure that you manually change the timings to 7-7-7-18 T2, the clock speed to 1600 (even though with a voltage of 2.0V it can go higher to 1800mhz), and of course set the voltage to 1.9V. Other than that it works flawlessly.
Overall Review: I would choose this over corsair dominator ram any day. I don't know what the fuss is about dominator ram. This ram has better timings as well as being wayy cheaper, and is just as capable. Dominator ram is a waste of money because all you're paying for is the name and the type of IC's it uses, which is utterly lame. Go with this RAM and you will eat dominator RAM for breakfast.
question
Pros: don't know yet, hopefully it would be able to fit an 8800 ultra
Cons: don't know yet
Overall Review: so does this case fit an 8800 ultra or not? thats the only thing holding me back from buying this.
Awsome router.
Pros: This router is truly amazing. The features, the looks the, the speed, THE PERFORMANCE! I switched this out from a US robotics that dropped my connection every few days and all i can say is WOW. this router seriously blew my socks off. I've had it on non-stop for about 2 months and it has yet to drop my connection. rock solid all around. I have 4 wired clients and 1 wireless connected all the time. The router is really easy to set up, features are endless. This thing will keep you network up through the centuries. I promise you that you will not be disappointed with your purchase. OH AND THE SPEED! is just flawless. it truly is great.
Cons: Well everyone seems to complain about the light so i will too. I mean they could've just gone economy on them but oh well. They really are pretty bright. Look at the positive side! It looks like you have an aurora borealis in your room :]
Overall Review: To maximize your gigabit network use CAT 6 cables only. With CAT 5 it'll say 1GBPS but it's not truly. Cables matter. I guess CAT 5e is good too.
Great printer.
Pros: Wow, all i can say is that this printer is near perfect. I mean, when i bought it i was expecting it to be a good printer but i would've never guess the features. The printer does it's aligning procedure by itself! It prints the paper and reads it with a laser causing you no hassle. Also the device easily connects to my network and updates time and date by itself. Printing is super silent and quick. Quality of printing is simply superb, no smudging WHATSOEVER! Does fax and everything else with ease. As is said it's near perfect.
Cons: Doesn't print double sided. But i'm very satisfied.
Overall Review: BUY IT! it's the best for the money, hp never let me down.
