Awesome MOBO!
Pros: Used it in my first build with an Phenom II X4 965 and I couldn't be happier - Cool blue indicator LED lights - great BIOS options - USB 3.0 & SATA 6 Gb/s - Blue / Black color scheme - Great price! - Able to reach 3.9 GHz easily with my Phenom II X4 965 BE when I auto OC'ed with OC Genie via bios...and that's not even going MANUAL with this bad boy.
Cons: - Doesn't make coffee
Overall Review: Cooler Master Sniper Black MSI 890FX GD-70 AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Zalman CNPS9700 XFX Radeon 5770 XXX Edition 2 x 2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers
a GREAT case!
Pros: - always gets the LADIES - it's GINORMOUS - good CABLE MANAGEMENT options - great AIRFLOW! - sweet 200mm LED fans w/ fan control knob/button - nice mesh dust filters - tool-less HDD for easy installation - fits any modern GPU (HD 5XXX, HD 6XXX, GTX 4XX) because HDDs install sideways - all the external connections you need on the front panel - handles on top and removable foot pegs on the bottom - fits all my teddy bears because there's SO MUCH ROOM!
Cons: - fan cables are a bit of a mess but easy to understand once you figure it out....it's not really a con, more like a minor annoyance
Overall Review: Note: I wasn't a fan of the "one fan control knob to rule them all" so I threw on 2x 120mm LED fans and a Sunbeam RHK-EX-BA Rheobus-Extreme Fan Controller Panel since I had extra 5.25" bays and it is AMAZING....I highly suggest using this because it works GREAT with my case! used on my first build and I wouldn't have chosen any other case MSI 890FX GD-70 AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 2x XFX Radeon HD 5770 4x2 GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers
purrrrfect
Pros: - perfect for anyone that burns anything - no need to install anything, Windows 7 x64 recognizes it immediately - fast - matte black front bezel
Cons: NADA!
Overall Review: ...just buy it already.
It actually works!
Pros: - has all the slots I need (microSD, SD) + 1 USB - uses only 1 USB connection on my MSI 890FX - led activity light upon startup, when the card is inserted, and when the card is accessed - matches perfectly with my coolermaster storm sniper black with the 3.5" adapter (it comes matte black stock but also has a matte white faceplate if you want to change it) - works perfectly on windows 7 x64
Cons: NADA! It's the best card reader out there! ....it doesn't make coffee?
Overall Review: STOP READING THIS AND BUY IT ALREADY, IT'S WORTH THE INVESTMENT AND WON'T DIE ON YOU LIKE OTHER CARD READERS!
It's suh-weeeeeet
Pros: - Nice, bright LEDs that match the blue LED fans in my rig - Controls 6 fans UP TO 30w each - Comes with extra cabling
Cons: I'm just being picky but: - Wish it came with more 4 pin molex - 3 pin converters, but I'd rather have the 2 it came with than none - Some knobs seems to be less firm/wiggle more than others, but not worth taking off an egg - Manual is a joke, but if you know what you're doing it's no biggie
Overall Review: Note that the knob LEDs are less bright the lower the fan speed. Make sure you turn up the fans on high when you first start it up otherwise it looks dead until you turn up the knobs.
not too shabby for the price
Pros: - Nice blue LEDs to match the rest of my rig - Moves a decent amount of air - Not too pricey - Not too loud
Cons: NADA!
Overall Review: Using it with a Sunbeam RHK-EX-BA Rheobus-Extreme Fan Controller and it's working wonders...so far
