Great CPU
Pros: Fast running and smooth operation for all my needs. Easy stable overclocking up to 4.3Ghz. Works well for my game system. I installed a liquid cooler, but the huge heat sink, and RGB fan works great, and keeps it cool enough for the average user.
Cons: Check clearances between heat sink and components especially the DIMM slots. With some MB's you may have to use low profile RAM so not interfere with the heat sink or switch to another type of cooler.
Overall Review: Excellent
It's Windows
Pros: Easy USB install. Had most of the drivers I needed. I'm not much of a fan of Windows 8 or 10, but it is what it is. I was happy with Win XP and Windows 7, but no more support for either one of those OS' from Microsoft.
Cons: Seems like a lot of apps and extra junk I really don't need for a gaming system, but most of it can be uninstalled or turned off.
Overall Review: Ok....If you like Windows OS
Quality Fans
Pros: Works well. Quiet and moves air.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would recommend these case fans.
Great M.2 drive
Pros: Easy to install and use. Super fast data transfer and stable with my system. Always happy with Crucial products.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Like it so much I added a second drive to my system.
Great so far
Pros: These thing is a beast. Looks awesome and RGB lights are customizable. Great graphics so far and no issues. Has 3 fans over a massive radiator looking heat sink, but so far I've never seen them come on. Not sure if it's because I haven't put a big enough load on it yet to get it hot enough for fans to start. Temp monitor says it's ok.
Cons: It's really big and has some weight. Just be aware of that when you buy a case.
Overall Review: Great so far
Happy Gamer
Pros: Really happy with this MB. Looks really nice and has plenty of features. Like the two onboard M.2 slots. Has controls and functions for overclocking. No problems with install or POST and BIOS is easy to use. AURA RBG LED lighting looks nice and works well. I used 64GB with 4 sticks of Hyper X RAM with the RGB lights and works well with this MB.
Cons: Wish it had more than one internal USB connector onboard. It only has one inside and my liquid cooler requires to be plugged into it, so I can't hook up the front panel USB connectors that came with my Phantek case. Not a major deal because there's plenty of USB ports on the back of the board.
Overall Review: Excellent board for gaming
Great Keyboard
Well made and it looks nice with my ROG Asus Aura system. Works great for gaming. Okay for general typing if you don't mind the noticeable audible clicking of the keys. Keyboard feels built for hard gaming use and will hold up for a long time.
Quality Cable
Works great for running multiple case fans from one connector.
Great
DVD/RW works nicely. Burns and plays DVD's.
