Pros: This is a great card. On my machine it idles around 40C and under load it gets around 50C. I can't tell that the fan is running even under load because it's so quiet.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I got a GTX 280 before this one. I could have prepared breakfast on it and it sounded like a vacuum under load. I can't tell any performance difference between this card and that one. I would recommend this card to anyone. It's a cool, quiet, high-end card for a great price.

Pros: I used this primarily for gaming, so I didn't use the noise-cancelling part much. Sound came in clear though.

Cons: It died just about a year after purchase, and I only used it a couple of hours per week. I'd recommend getting something more reliable.

Pros: It works.

Cons: When I pulled it out of my PS3 to connect to another device, the pins gently slid out of the casing and I couldn't get them back in again. It felt like they were never securely set - like this is how it was designed. I doubt all of the cables are like this, but mine has been rendered unusable.

Overall Review: They're cheap and I knew that going in so it's my loss. Get a better-constructed cable if you don't want to worry about problems like mine.

Pros: This board gives you a lot of options. Plenty of inputs and outputs. What sold me was the cooling system and the number of 3 pin connections. I think I counted 5 or 6. I'm only using 3 fans right now but I know that if I need the extra cooling I can add a couple more very easily. If you're looking for something you can use now and add a few things a couple years from now, get this board.

Cons: There are 6 SATA connections on the board, but the BIOS only recognizes 4. I am most likely missing something and playing around a bit will probably find a solution, but it should recognize them all by default.

Overall Review: It's the best low cost choice for a high end motherboard.

Pros: Same as before.

Cons: Same as before.

Overall Review: If you are having problems with a noisy fan making clicking noises or it sounds like it's hitting something when there's nothing in the way: loosen the screws on the fan just a little bit. I did this and no longer had any problems with noise. After this fix it is definitely a 5 egg case.

Pros: Heatsink and double fans keep this card from getting hot very well. Runs cool under the highest graphic settings and runs very well on those settings.

Cons: Reboots my computer. I can't tell why. At first I thought it was overheating during game play, but it was only warm. Then it rebooted my computer a couple times when I was just browsing the internet. Maybe the card ""thinks"" that it's overheating somehow? I know it is the video card because I tested with another card and my computer worked fine even during graphics intense game play.

Overall Review: asb2106 made me see the light. I retract my previous rating of "1". It is *possible* that with a 12V rail directly connected to the video card that there isn't enough current, but since I've never seen a 40A 12V rail, you will have to build your own transformer if this is the case. However, in the frustration of the moment I gave this card a "1" and it probably deserves a "3" because it is a really good card. I realize there are always defects and I was unlucky enough to get one (but like I said before, this should have been caught during testing). I had physics in high school just like asb2106, so I know what power/current/voltage is and when there is enough. Make sure you do too because he/she is correct, this card is power hungry. Disregard my previous comment that this card is not worth buying and realize you could get a defect, just like everything else you buy.
