Great thermal Grease
Pros: -Great for re-heat sinking a GPU as the factory grease is often inadequate. I used the leftovers of this stuff to re-grease my GPU and it stopped overheating. - Great stuff, My CPU has never run cooler, Best stuff I've found so far.
Cons: Can't really think of any.
Excellent CPU
Pros: Powerful, reliable, Runs cool (with an aftermarket heat sink, and Arctic Silver Thermal Grease)
Cons: Only one I can think of is that it is now outdated tech. I'm running a Ryzen now.
Great workhorse Motherboard
Pros: Fast, stable, runs cool
Cons: Relatively short service life, Mine failed in 2 years, but to be fair, I was rather hard on it with my gaming, Overclocking doesn't just fry GPUs and CPUs, it fries Mother Boards
Overall Review: I'd still recommend this board to anyone who does not overclock.
Good for what it is...
Pros: -Price is fair, I found it runs best with Arctic Sliver Thermal Grease. -Moves lots of air -Runs super quiet despite the CFMs it puts out. The fans on My GPU are louder than this.
Cons: Hard to install with the supplied brackets. Otherwise this it an awesome product.
Edit from previous Review to correct spelling errors (Excellent Board)
Pros: Inexpensive, reliable, Hardware utility built right into the Bios. Runs buttery smooth on Windows 10, Compatible with lots of CPUs include the A-Series APUs
Cons: SATA connector are obstructed by long Graphics Cards, requiring right-angle connectors on your SATA cables
Overall Review: I would recommend this board for replacing the mother board on old systems (Like me), and for budget PC builds Lots of Pros Not many Cons.
Great case
Pros: I love the urgenomic space age design of this little case. some of you reviewers are too picky. I have found only one very small prolem with this tower, and that is "the LED color" I would've lied it if they offered it with blue, red UV LED alternatives. But this is not a big deal for me, Beig an electroics buff, I modded the LED color myself, Now I have a very pleasant cool blue eminating from the stock locations. Cable management was "Easy" Even whith the limited space. And I don't have a modular PSU either. though I only have 2 rails on it.
Cons: The LED color. 200mm. fan not included. But I can't complain beyond that. I got mine from another site for $49 + "FREE Shipping" Shipping was free because I paid with PAYPAL on a special promo. Which has since ended. It is now $59 for the case, and $23 for S+H "OUCH!"
Overall Review: Including fans to use in all availible case locations would be nice. And diferent LED options too. The thumb screws "are" junk, but it on't cost much to replace with metal ones. even if you have to hit them with a can of "CRYLON or rustoelium" "AS A WHOLE" This case is awesome, and I can see myself enjoying it for years to come.
