Most Favorable Review

Works right out of the box, easy install of connectors and hardware

MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Well designed connector locations (audio and case connectors are at lower left corner so you can route the cable from behind case to avoid cluster in the front) Windows 10 can boot from M.2, and the slot is not under main graphic card PCI-e slot for better cooling USB 3.1 and one Type-C port, also have a pass through type-c connector for front case panel (future proof) 10 SATA ports (at least 2 shared with m.2 & u.2) Lots of OC fine tuning options (Even have a physical OC knob on the motherboard for supported X series processors) Dual BIOS with physical switch LED lighting options with included 2xMystic lighting connector and cable Comes with 6 SATA cables No headphone buzzing/hissing (better shield audio codec chipset) 4x 4-pin Case Fan headers (One is a dedicated pump fan header)

Cons: ASMedia USB3.0/3.1 Driver from MSI website is causing big problem with my i1 Display Pro Color Calibration tool (system won't detect the USB device pluged-in) I have to uninstall the special driver and use windows included driver to solve this problem. One pin fall off from the front panel switch quick connector, minor annoyance.. The so called "Carbon" plates are actually sandwiched PLASTIC plates with carbon looking texture, they are not good for cooling (neither do real carbon fiber) I'd rather have real aluminum headsinks on chipset and power phases than some gimmick LED lighting.

Overall Review: Works great right out of the box. Motherboard seems to be well made and comes with a ton of accessories and detailed user manual.

Most Critical Review

Bright, but with limited usability

Rosewill RLFL-11002 3W 220 Lumen Cree LED Aluminum Flashlight w/ Bicycle Bracket
Rosewill RLFL-11002 3W 220 Lumen Cree LED Aluminum Flashlight w/ Bicycle Bracket

Pros: Bright. Bike mount included.

Cons: Biggest drawback is it requires 3 AAA batteries to operate, really hard to recharge the batteries, as most charger would only charge a pair but not 3 or 1. Don't work well with lower voltage rechargeable batteries. The flashlight would turn on really bright but dims fairly quickly after a few min. The spring inside the flashlight came off once, which required use of a tweezers to re-position it back in.

Works great as a 4TB video disk

Seagate BarraCuda ST4000DM004 4TB 5400 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drives Bare Drive - OEM

Pros: 256mb cache quiet low heat

Cons: not 7200rpm

Overall Review: I use this as my video scratch disk, it works great, and is very quiet and efficient when running. Also like the fact that this disk has 256mb of cache.

Works great, great price too

Ballistix Sport LT 16GB DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model BLS16G4D32AESE

Pros: DDR4 3200 Large capacity Lifetime Warranty

Cons: none

Overall Review: I bought those to be used with my Ryzen 9 system, but since I'm still waiting on pre-order, I installed those in my old i7 system and they work just fine.

Love it

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10800C-10P, 8GB GDDR5X IceStorm Cooling, Metal Wraparound Carbon ExoArmor Exterior, Ultra-wide 100mm Fans, Spectra Lighting, PowerBoost, FREEZE Fan Stop
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10800C-10P, 8GB GDDR5X IceStorm Cooling, Metal Wraparound Carbon ExoArmor Exterior, Ultra-wide 100mm Fans, Spectra Lighting, PowerBoost, FREEZE Fan Stop

Pros: Best performance single GPU card on the market. Zotac's IceStorm Cooling is really efficient and quiet (Fan stops spinning when system is not under load) Temp stays at 40C when system is idle and never goes above 80C when gaming or doing video editing. Included FireStorm configuration software is easy to use and adjust. Well build, metal back plate and real copper heatpipes.

Cons: None. I'd probably trade the LED lighting effects and plastic front cover for more aluminum heatsink.

Overall Review: Great card, efficient yet extremely powerful. What a good graphic card should be.

Great for graphic editing

Intel Core i7 6th Gen - Core i7-6850K Broadwell-E 6-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 2011-V3 140W BX80671I76850K Desktop Processor

Pros: faster graphics processing compared to 4-core offerings 3.6GHz base speed is also good for gaming applications Unlocked core for OC enthusiasts

Cons: with price can come down just a little does not come with headsink and fan retail box design looks cheap (compared to last generation processors)
