Pros: - Cheapest of the bunch. - Highly overclock-able. - FAST! - Runs fairly quiet and cool for a single fan card.

Cons: Price...? blue pcb?

Overall Review: 7970 is an overkill for my gaming resolution so I chose the 7950 which saved me $100. Running dual monitor (gaming in one) at a resolution of 1920x1080. BF3 on ultra I get 45-60fps and I can only guess it'll go up with better drivers. ***overclock*** I was initially going to buy the dual fan cards, but after seeing the price, I ended up passing on it. I wasn't going to overclock at first, but wanted to get a stead 60fps in bf3 and figured i'll try to match the more expensive OC edition to make myself feel better (heh). MSI afterburner 900mhz core 1280mhz memory 50% fan speed 43c idle 60c max. Thats amazingly good! The fan isn't very loud IMO. I haven't tried exceeding past that oc since i get 55-60fps in bf3 on ultra everything and thats all i was shooting for. Might overclock more later when I dive into eyefinity.

Pros: Does taxes.

Cons: When trying to e-file and pay the state fee, turbotax kept getting an error. Something to do with not connecting to their service. I then called the number provided to pay for the $20 fee over the phone but was put on hold for 30 minutes! Until they're closed, which then the phone magically lost connection. For kicks and giggles, I then chose option B, subtract the fee from your federal return but pay a $30 service fee. Lo and behold, it went through without a glitch. Really, turbotax? thanks, I'll be using e-file.com next year.

Overall Review: So $49.99 for the software $19.99 for the state return $29.99 for the fee. Fantastic.

Pros: Front Header USB3 Lots of USBs Lots of SATA Auto Overclock UEFI Overclocking capabilities

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: I have this board paired up with an i5 2500k with hyper 212+ with one fan. I was originally going to manually overclock it past 4.0ghz but figured what auto overclock would yield me for kicks and giggles. Auto overclock pushed it to 4.3ghz without breaking a sweat. And it idles at 33c.

Pros: Fast Easily overlockable Runs cool FAST!

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: This is a fast processor. Im getting more FPS with this processor than I did with my 1090t clocked in at 3.9Ghz. I have this paired up with an ASUS P8P67 EVO and tried the automatic Overclock. It puts it up to 4.3 without breaking a sweat. Using a one fan Hyper 212+ cooler. This chip is amazing.

Pros: Front Panel USB3 Tool less design Plenty of room Cable routing

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is one of the best case I've worked in so far, and I've worked on plenty of cases. It has great airflow and the fans that came with it is whisper silent. Half the time, Im not even sure if my computer is on or not. Specs to those who cares I5 2500k @ 4.3ghz @ 39c idle Hyper 212+ with only one fan MSI GTX 560 ti 8GB DDR3 Ram Corsair 700w silent modular PSU Again, DEAD SILENT SYSTEM. I love it.

Pros: Cheap price. Runs cool. Easily Overclocked. 6 core.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Got this thing paired up with MSI 890FXA-G65 cooled using corsair H50 cooler and OC'd at 3.6 > 4.2 turbo. Idle 25c, lowest 19c and 38c playing BF2 BC2. This chip rocks. Buy this chip and get a Hyper212 ($30) and OC past the slightly more expensive 1100t! You'll love it! For those who cares, my old Hyper212 with an arctic 5 paste and two fans. Same OC 3.6>4.2 turbo and I was getting the same if not better temp than the H50.
