Pros: I have owned this soundcard for 3-1/2 years and it still sounds as good as new. The card is solidly built, reliable, and easily trumps on-board sound. My use is music and gaming. The sound is crisp and clear. I have the card connected with a 1/8 inch Y-adapter to an old set of 2.1 speakers and also my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 headphones. There is plenty of power for the speakers. I need to turn the volume to 70% to get decent volume out of the headphones as they are rated at 80 ohms and are a little hard to drive. I don't listen at insanely high volumes, so this suits me fine.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I moved the card from an old computer running Vista 32-bit to a new one running Windows 7 64-bit and encountered problems with the speakers making a loud popping noise upon startup or wake from sleep. I emailed customer support and received a response the next day. There are new drivers out that solve the problem but are not yet posted on the HT Omega webpage. You can download the new drivers here: http://www.htomega.com/new/striker81742.zip These are unified drivers for XP, Vista, and Windows 7 and solved the popping issue for me.

Pros: Compact, speedy printing, reasonably priced replacement cartridges.

Cons: Noisy when cleaning print heads right before each print. Will not print Avery labels correctly.

Overall Review: Only 3 stars because the printer will not print Avery labels correctly. The feed mechanism slips on the label paper and label sheets are misfed every time. Fixes suggested on the HP website do not solve this problem.

Pros: Doesn't have those unnecessary massive heat sinks. Fits under my Hyper 212+ CPU cooler. 1.5V. My one working stick seems to perform flawlessly.

Cons: Had one bad stick of RAM. The bad RAM passed Memtest+ even when I let the test run overnight. My PC would blue screen with different error messages when playing BF3. I discovered which stick was bad by installing and using one at a time with BF3.

Overall Review: To reviewer c0ltron below: Yes, you can RMA a single stick back to Corsair. Although the RMA instructions recommend sending both sticks back so you will get a matched pair, I sent a single stick back and Corsair is sending back a stick with an identical model number.

Pros: This is a solid board once you have it configured correctly. I spent a considerable amount of time figuring out the quirks of the board and hope this review helps others. My board is configured with a i7-2600K, Hyper 212+ CPU cooler, 8GB dual channel RAM (2x4 GB), and two graphics cards in SLI. The PCIe 16 slots are spaced with enough room for good airflow between the graphics cards. The fan on the 212+ just clears the 1st memory slot using low-profile RAM. I have not overclocked yet so I cannot comment on the board's OC button. UEFI interface is nice if you have a BIOS version that is compatible with your mouse (see other thoughts below). The integrated graphics works great and serves as a backup in case a graphics card fails. Ivy Bridge compatibility is nice.

Cons: Having the SATA ports angled at 90 degrees makes plugging in cables a bit of a pain. The LAN cable doesn't fully seat in the ethernet port. Board does not detect the RAM frequency correctly and needs to be manually set. Intel Turbo Boost memory setting in the BIOS does not work, but is not necessary. Manual does not fully explain all the BIOS options. Some people do not like having to double-click in the BIOS, but it's no big deal to me. You can still use the keyboard in the BIOS.

Overall Review: During restart, the computer will completely shut down, then after 5 seconds will power back on. To prevent the 5 second wait, go into the BIOS, enter the Eco menu, and disable EuP 2013. The latest BIOS was not compatible with the my Logitech gaming mouse and would only work with version 23.1. No problems since flashing to 23.1. For those considering the G65, you may want to consider the G55. There are only a few differences: G65 warranty is 5 years, G55 is 3 years. G65 is dual BIOS, G55 is single BIOS. G65 has a Marvell RAID controller, G55 does not.

Pros: I have owned this card just a few days shy of 1 year. I have not experienced any issues. Card runs fast and cool. I have not overclocked my system, if that matters.

Cons: I really want a second card for BF3 but all the quality issues from recent reviews is steering me away from Gigabyte.

Overall Review: Seems that owners of the early batches of this card are not having many issues. Something must have changed in the manufacturing of the cards within the past 6 months that has resulted in all of the recent dead cards and poor reviews. I have had great success with Gigabyte motherboards which was why I choose Gigabyte for a graphics card. Seems that Gigabyte has dropped the ball and needs significantly tighter quality control.

Pros: Powerful and quiet. I was worried about needing to upgrade my power supply to run this card, but it runs perfectly fine with my Corsair 450W power supply. My system: Core2Duo e6750, (4) gig DDR2, (1) DVD-RW, (2) 7200rpm hard drives. I run my system stock with no overclocking and a single graphics card.

Cons: Wish there were some discounts or a couple of games thrown in, but these are minor.

Overall Review: It's encouraging to see Gigabyte focused on using quality components. I bought my motherboard from Gigabyte 2-1/2 years ago and haven't had a problem. This card seems well built and will hopefully last a long time.
