The P67 MB Perf to Price

Pros: * Features and quality of boards that easily cost $200-250. * Great Bios * Great Layout * Has a molex 12v connection on the MB in addition to the 8 pin, allows for more stability if you are using SLI/Crossfire configuration. Something for some reason many mid grade boards stopped doing. This additional power connection adds to overall stability in my experience. Also allows for more verstaile OC to MB and GPU cards. * Onboard Power, Restet, and CMOS Reset power buttons, for enthusiast it really is a must feature. I will not buy mid and high grade boards without this simple feature. * Plenty of room around the CPU to install the largest Cooler. I installed a XIGMATEK Gaia SD1283 with two 120mm fans. * Has 4 SATA III connections vs 2 that most motherboards that cost $50 has. * A lot of USB 2.0 & 3.0 ports and more headers avaialbe if you need. * THX certified sounds card with Digital SPDIF connections.
Cons: There is one real con and if you know ahead of time you can work around it. If you isntall a large CPU cooler like I did, the first memory slot is almost unusable to any memory stick that has a high profile. So keep in mind to use low profile memory stuck if you are going to use a large cooler. For example a lot of the cooling sinks have those high spikes coming out of them, there is no way one will fit with a large cooler. What I had to do is to take the memory stick out of the metal cooling sink, to fit, no biggy. I dont OC my memory and my Phantom case has excellent ventilation so im not worried. As long as you are prepared for this, you'll be fine.
Overall Review: I have been building my own systems since the beginning when you had to use a chip puller to upgrade my XT machine, and a 20mb HD cost almost a thousand dollars. Most of my building time I have been a brand elitist. Sticking to EVGA or ASUS, and sometimes MSI. Most of the for good reason, other manufacturers didnt take care to really address the needs of the enthusiast market. At any given time I have at least 6 running PC's in my house, spread between wife, kids, and various functions. So I upgrade or build 2-3 systems a year on average. In the last year I have had 4 motherboard failures that in turn took out other parts when they failed, I have found out that companies like Asus and EVGA have really slacked in their QA department. So I gave ASROCK a try, a brand I always considered a low price brand, that I have used to build cheap $400 systems before. In the last three months I have bough $200 to $300 Asus and MS motherboards, and none have come close to this MB!
No Received

Pros: None
Cons: Poor Customer Service
Overall Review: Its been 13 days, paid priority mail, USPS says sent via First Class, and shows they only received electronic info, which means the item has not shipped after 10 days. There goes my anniversary surprise for my wife. Avoid this company
Excellent card.

Overall Review: Works great. Runs cool. Easy to undervolt and run cool. Barely breaks 70% at 4k full load.
Excellent RGB mouse

Pros: Ergonomic, RGB that uses ique, comes with weights that allow you to customize the weight of the mouse.
Overall Review: Overall a great mouse and very comfortable to use. Rgb syncs with Rgb Corsair keyboard if you have one.
Excellent cooler. Incredibly quiet and easy install.

Overall Review: This is a buy for those who want to build a quiet.
Awfull!

Pros: Honestly any pro I can think off becomes a con.
Cons: Made of cheap plastic, feels cheap and looks cheap for a $300 keyboard. The screen is is useless, and you have to press it hard to register presses. TO change things around you have to use screws, becomes a pain and defeats the purpose of being a keyboard with mu configuration. Writs pads snap in a way that you know will break within a few months. The wrist component with a wheel and a mouse is extremely uncomfortable and a waste.
Overall Review: Cyborg went wrong in every possible way here, whoever approved the final design, should be fired, this $300 keyboard isn't worth $50. If you still lay out the bucks, you have been warned.
