Pros: Wow, large file transfers / access are a breeze. Best NVMe ever (as of 6/2025)

Overall Review: Highly recommend for speed!

Pros: 32GB ram! Best handling of very large graphic demanding programs such as MSFS2024 in VR 2x4K such as Pimax Crystal headset. Finally able to get butter smooth flights even in congested areas and with super detailed aircrafts and yes all this in TAA mode (not DLSS!). Too much artifact and blurry issues with DLSS in VR even with the latest DLSS versions.

Cons: Physics no more supported, but who cares :-)

Overall Review: Great card, but yes high price. Hopefully trading option can help.

Pros: Great mobo, after updating bios!

Cons: Switch on NVMe #2 & #3 that slows down PCIe5 to PCIe4. Only recommend using one NVMe slot and connect a sata drive for extra storage.

Overall Review: Great Mobo overall. Highly recommend, but make sure to get latest BIOS.

Pros: Very large case allowing a upper or lower mount of the motherboard. In the lower position 2x 120 fans can be mounted in the back. Side and bottom allow for 3x 120 fans for air intake or exit.

Cons: The right side panel clip is a bit hard and not clear at first to take off. Don't forget to remove the glass protection plastic film, outside AND inside.

Overall Review: Highly recommend. Love the top glass view access

Pros: Very nice looking design with tempered glass on 4 faces Plenty of space for cable management

Cons: Heavy, but expected with that much glass

Overall Review: Great case, with plenty of options for cooling system and fan install.

Pros: Easy and quick installation. I got rev 2.0 (maybe better manuf. quality than rev 1.0) Also position of CPU is perfect to install large OEM cooling fan of Intel 980 x. I installed 6GB DDR3 ram from OCZ 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model OCZ3X1600R2LV6GK on white slots and it works like a charm. Note that when I first booted the mobo, I had to wait a few secs maybe a min or so before the graphic card was recognized. So patience when first booting the mobo and it works great.

Cons: Bios crashes (freeze) when I want to access the M.I.T menu, maybe because it doesn't work with the 980 x extreme edition. System fan speed cannot be controlled with Gigabyte software.
