very clean and fast
Pros: it works fine and is quicker loading then my other mem card device
Cons: none
Overall Review: this is so much better then the old floppys. puts a Esata plug on front and adds to the front usb's. very nice product and a good price
hmm
Pros: blows air no doa
Cons: hmm thought these were rated high for cfm flow but actually not as good as a 45 cfm fan lol
Overall Review: go with mascools 40-50 cfm fan its better
Wow total fail
Pros: Um 4k if u can get the drivers to load... supposed to be 151% better then my last card yet i dont see the improvement
Cons: Wow so many. Disc dont work(looked fine). Laged my pc while trying to load it( i7, 1151, ssd raid, win 7, good enough for this card). Then the online driver download bsod my system. Really dont get how none of that worked. Dx 12 dont work for civ 6
Overall Review: After fighting and reinstalling the downloaded drivers a few times it finally worked. Though no improvement to fps on most my games and this card is supposed to be 151% better then the last card. Useing displayport seems ok.
some people are stupid!
Pros: Sweet mobo. this thing rocks and takes everything I throw at it. fast. Raid works well (boots to windows in like 2 seconds from power button push). gotta love gigabyte for putting out stable board after stable board. every time I get one its the best out of that chipset.
Cons: make sure you got good cooling. 60c beep on the system temp can get annoying but lets me know to up the fan speeds.
Overall Review: running i7 4770 boosting to 3.9 constant. (water cooling) 2133mhz Gskill ripjaws X on profile settings set it perfect R9 280X 3gig pciX 3.0 (beast also from gigabyte) corsair gt force ssd 128gig X2 raid boots extremely fast when set to ultra fast boot settings corsair 800w power supply. (should be 900w) watch out for ultrafst boot settings it wont activate the keyboard or mouse till windows starts. I recommend installing the software AFTER you get it running right and then set it in windows. then when you need your bios you disable that setting from in windows and you can access your bios again. some people act like they are super techs and really don't know what they are doing so don't listen to the neg reviews I read them and they sound like they don't know how to build a PC..... GET HELP FROM A PRO IF YOU CANT BUILD THIS.
cheap construction
Pros: I had just the subwoofer ( max pro 12") enclosed it in a 1c ft sealed box. which was recommended. worked for about 3 months if that
Cons: the problem is in the construction of the woofer. the magnet is glued on with epoxy. then there is 5 pins that poke through the spider coming off the magnet they use what looked like a flathead screw driver to split the pin so it spreads like a rivet. problem is that the spider is made of metal so thin it cant hold under the pressure created when putting 1000w peak from a lanzar 1000w peak amp. so the split pin just slips through. the epoxy cant hold if the pins dont hold due to heat building up. so in the end i had a loose magnet that rattled every time bass hit. sounded like it was blown but it was a manufacturing probem because I only had the amp gain at a lil past 3/4. running 4ohm meaning the amp wasn't even putting 1000w to the sub.
Overall Review: I broke in the sub at 1/2 gain for a lil more then a month then went to 3/4. so around 600w-750w peak (don't know due to the 4ohm) if you try to put 2000w peak to this you'll be sorry. 500w peak each is all the construction will allow if you ask me but then the voice coil will over heat due to lack of movement. need's to move to cool itself.... I bought lanzar because when I was growing up it was American made. now its American designed/china made.
device manager
Pros: looks strong. safe. good enough for price
Cons: non
Overall Review: some people say they cant hot swap this. wrong! goto deivce manager, drives right click, check for hardware changes. (hot swap complete) some people think they have high tech knowledge and dont know what ther talking about hahahah. almost didnt buy this cause of that but i know what im doing so NP
