Pros: Well for you guys/girls looking at this card for bf3 look no farther. This card is a beast. I overclocked it to Core 865mhz Memory 1100mhz With out voltage increase and i can squeeze a little more out of it then that if i want. I get 28-45 FPS on Ultra on BF3 depends on the map that's 64 player maps 1920x1080 60hz NOTE:( I do not play it on ultra and i do not think its playable on ultra it will lag a little and its not as smooth as lower settings. If you do ultra and turn off MSAA its playable. I personally play it on low i think it looks better and i get 100-140fps on low!!! BF3 Ultra 28-45 FPS High 45-65 FPS Medium 70-90 FPS Low 100-150 FPS The rest of my rig is in other thoughts. During game play it does not get above 65c. That after hours of game play. And with limited air flow. But good fans it will not break 55c. This is a good card for the money does alot for what it is. With a voltage tweak this card could be pushed into the 900mhz range on core

Cons: None ITS A XFX FOR PETES SAKE!!!!!

Overall Review: If your looking at this card just go ahead and buy it it will play any game out and for the price your not going to beat the performance. 955be at 3.8ghz Patriot Sector 5 8gb DDR3 1333mhz oCed to 1600mhz 1tb 5900rpm hdd ocz 700w psu

Pros: Cheap. So when it breaks you wont be out much money. LOL When it worked without problems for the first 6 months no problems it play all the games i wanted it to.

Cons: Card went out on me after 7 months. Would randomly freeze on me and would not boot with video. Some times would take me 30 minutes to get it to boot with video. I updated all drivers for vga and chipset. This last time i just took it out and used on board graphics. Upon taking the card out of my computer i broke one of the fins of the cooling fan. So now i cant get it replaced. Even though the only problem is in the chip its self. Also you have to go though the resaler for warranty asus does not handle this. Sorry asus you can bet my new gtx 465 wont be a asus card. There MOBO are the best and i heard that there warranty sevice was the best in the business so i took a chance and bought one of the video cards. Mistake.

Overall Review: Buy a better card from Evga, XFX, MSI. Asus just entered the vga market and to be honest i am scared to drop $250 on a gtx 465 made by them so it will be a Evga.

Pros: Great product easy to read instructions! Includes AM4 hardware! Keeps my Rzyen 2700x @ 67c under full load stress testing. I got it OC to 4.325 @ 1.35volts I bought two of then I was gonna put one on my GTX 1080 but my case will not support both of them so I'm gonna throw the extra one on my I7-4770k when I get time. And ill update review on how it does.

Cons: None for the price you pay!

Overall Review: Great cooler for the money and it compatible with the NZXT Kraken G12 GPU cooler kit. But I didn't get to try it out due to my case not being able to support two of them, so ill be swapping the Corsair H55 I have on my I7 out with the spare one of these I have now.

Pros: My chip runs 4.325ghz on all cores @ 1.35 on MSI x470 M7 AC board Ive seen it self boost to 4.6ghz before my manual overclock (Not on all cores) Stays cool max ive seen with stated overclock is 67C with Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme S (This is stress testing it) Beats my I7-4770k @4.3ghz in games like Farcry5 same GTX 1080 (I7 4770k - 70-80 FPS) (Ryzen 2700x - 100-125fps) Older games they get around the same FPS

Cons: None I might have hit the silicon lottery for once! 4.325 @ 1.35 volts and didn't try any higher. I might push it higher down the road when its towards the end of its life like I did my I7-4770k which I lost the lottery on lol.

Overall Review: If you want the max FPS right now then go with a Intel I7-8700k and OC it to 5ghz. The only reason to choose Intel now. If you want to upgrade you CPU 2 years down the road pick AMD! If you want to get more threads/ total CPU power for your money Pick AMD! If you don't want to have to delid you CPU Pick AMD. The core wars have begun and newer games can actually use these threads, and they will continue to be threaded higher and higher to keep the first gen Xbox ones and PS4s running the newer games. So most games will be using 8 threads soon. Ive seen Farcry 5 use all 8 threads of my I7-4770k at 80-95% so yea they use the threads but it you can give it 8 real cores you going to gain some great fps just like I did!

Pros: It has full windows 7 support all the drivers are right on the website! (Wish I would have known that before trying to install windows 10 see other thoughts) Has a PS2 port -> So you can install Windows 7 without modifying the ISO Bios is a breeze to use! Has M2 shield (heat sink) too keep the M2 drives cool. MSI customer support and warranty! It runs all cores at 4050mhz and I’ve seen it turbo a few cores to 4560mhz!

Cons: None so far!

Overall Review: Well after 3 pain staking days of trying to get windows 10 to update ever way possible, between the blue screens of death, Windows 10 not recognizing my GTX 1080--> thus not being able to download drivers for it. ETC..... I said many bad words and decided to give windows 7 a try after all the only reason I even pulled that Piece of _____ operating system off my shelf is because I read that you had to use it for Ryzen processors. But MSI comes through again!!! This is one of the main reason I buy MSI products they let their customers chose how to use their products! They have full windows 7 support ie. drivers for this motherboard! Now you have to jump trough a couple hoops to get it to work properly but it only took me around 3 hours to get fully up and running! Not 3 days like window 10. Btw not one BSOD with windows 7 what so ever. So windows 7… after you install it using a PS2 mouse and the onscreen keyboard just get into the usb driver folder on the driver disc and it has a read me file on how to manually make the USB drivers install. Took me a while to find that read me file. Once that’s done and you start downloading updates Windows 7 has a nice little pop up that say this processor is not supported blah blah blah no security updates blah blah blah…upgrade to our s***** new operating system that you can’t even update because half way trough downloading a updated ISO of the Piece of ______ you get a BSOD. But luckily a community member has a nice little patch that fixes that problem and will let you get all future updates! Rant off! I’ve bought MSI products for long time 3 gaming laptops this MOBO as well as GPUs they have great customer service as long as you register your products and complete your end of the deal.

Pros: This thing is a freaking beast i came from a AMD 955be which severed me well for 3 years! But this thing is freaking amazing i have read alot about intel and just never really built one until i started to have problems out of ARMA 3. With my old 955be i was getting low 30s to mid 20s fps... and i could not get the view distance in game to be ture i seen fog instead of terrain even with it on a ssd. With this cpu i can turn it all the way up on ultra and i get mid 45fps to 60fps! This is on single player! But i can now dog fight my heart out being able to see the jets at full 12000m now!!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: JUST BUY IT!!!!!
