Pros: -Sleek design -First GPU PCIE slots sits lower than traditional ATX boards. Gives more clearance between RAM and GPU -Board lights up if any power cables aren’t connected (like CPU power cords) -Board has start button to test post

Cons: -RGB on HERO and ROG logo could be brighter. It works fine if your build uses non-rgb fans, but I can barely notice the mobo rgb with 6 rgb corsair fans (outshine mobo). I would recommend ROG Strix for the brighter rgb

Overall Review: Solid board if you dont want something too rgb flashy

Pros: Bright Advertises itself Easy to use

Cons: -One of the LEDs shorted out within 3 months, emailed the manufacturer more than once, but never received a reply. -The proprietary cable it comes with to connect to their controller (that only comes with the 24-pin Strimer Plus) is very short and does leave much room for flexibility. -Depending on your software, the color of the Strimer Plus may not match with the rest of your RGB in your PC

Overall Review: Love the product, but I received a defective one which has one LED busted within 3 months. (I own both the 8-pin and 24-pin, only one LED on my 8-pin Strimer Plus had an issue. I contacted the manufacturer multiple times while it was still within warranty, but never got a response.

Package came very quickly and American power cable was included outside the box. (Since stock comes with non-American standard power cable)
