Pros: Awesome board you can read so I won't rattle off the specs. But for the moderate to high gaming I do, held up fine until recently. Lights on the board and color scheme cool at night gaming. Video card fits nice, just don't like the placement of the sata ports for my case and video card setup. But a minor issue really. Other than that, lots of room for ram and my cooler helps with giving more room since I run a water cooler with a small pump.

Cons: Recently it failed, and as for the cause, IDK what it is at this point, after spending 24 hours worth of time, unplugging and plugging stuff in and out and changing all components to another tower I have and seeing it work, I have to assume the MB had a random fail, wouldn't post, beep, power up some stuff. Maybe one of the bridges quit, no idea. But after trying and trying, now the screen goes black and doesn't even try to post. so whatever. I called new egg, and apparently without knowing this, I have a 3yr manufacturer warranty and then the 2 year I bought makes it 5 years of warranty. So whatever. I called MSI they said, box it up after registering it, and send it. You pay shipping to us, we will pay shipping on the new one back to you. So can't complain about customer service. And so far cannot complain about the board it was awesome up until fail. And I still do not know the cause. Once they take a look and test it out maybe they can answer that and let me know. Then I will update my review of it.

Overall Review: So far I would recommend it, overall most people I know of that has a MSI 970 likes it. And gaming boards can and will crash sometimes. I have had more than one crash of different makes. owning several over the years. But, like I said I will update my review of the board after inspection from MSI. Since I could not find a culprit. And all components worked fine in the other tower with a diff MB. Customer service called back as well, which can be annoying if you have ever waited for a call back. MSI said 24 hours and it was. For me that is. And they were nice. As long as there is no physical damage to the board they will warranty it they SAID. To be determined lol Updated 12 13 16, got the board back from MSI not that long ago. And they honored the warranty no problem. Just had to pay shipping one way. And I still have warranty until 2020. Since the manufacturer warranty and new egg warranty are back to back.

Pros: Its small black and has a nice blue light. When I want to use my phone or tablet on it, works fine.

Cons: but so far anything streaming to a T.V. or blu ray player doesn't hold up. I have found myself wanting to find a signal place that works well with it in range of the Router or Modem and it doesn't seem to like being more than 5 feet from it. Which is annoying. Either I have thicker walls in the home or need a better router etc... But with a dual band router that is rated to what it needs on the box. It still doesn't work that great. I am still trying to see if I can set it up as a repeater and will call the company. Will update later. For now will leave at 3 eggs.

Pros: Puts out great power, and no glitches, and hasn't failed. The blue led is cool. and works fine. a friend said his didn't shut off, mine works fine. Puts out moderate heat but didn't change my case temps too much. Handles all my game machine puts out just fine. And I am an above avg gamer.

Cons: None so far. maybe could run a little cooler but, it is a lot of power put out.

Overall Review: I didn't recieve the rebate I followed the instructions and so far, nothing. I am frustrated about that. so I didn't get the deal I thought I did. Kind of sour taste from that. But that has to do with new egg not the product. Now after a few years down the road 10 13 16. The power supply finally gave out. And when it did, it took my MB and at least one stick of RAM and also my Hard drive, at least one hard drive so far. Have to verify the other. So I will never by another cheaper PS unless I have to that is un certified for sure. I move to a corsair certified. Also, it did its job fine for me up until now. It just started having mild voltage warning issues which is my fault for dismissing. And well you reap what you ignore.

Pros: Awesome for one, lol well... it fits in my case. I have a stormtrooper 2 black case, with a MSI 970 gaming board, and an AMD fx6300 cpu, and 240 captain cooler, corsair 750 ps. it runs great and fits well in a full case, but also fit in my mid raidmax tower as well with an ASROCK small board. It cools well, never seems to get hot, and is very quiet, love it. The MSI dashboard that I put on my second screen is easy to set, the fan curve and all that or let it fly on auto. As far as overclocking and all that. I see no need to do so, so cannot comment on that. As well as all runs no need to. It runs all games on ultra settings. even uses less voltage than my GTX 660TI. and cooler.

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I would recommend it to others, And I found out from MSI that their products come with a 3 year warranty. So make sure you register it. And the customer service for me.. was good so far. My MB crashed and they said box it and send it as long as not physically damaged we will send you a new one. So that was cool.

Pros: Big and wide, and fits all the stuff I use on it. The keyboard and mouse plenty of room. If you spill "beverages" on it.... It can be washed no problem. Which didn't hurt it at all. LOVE it. I wish they made an even bigger one to cover the desktop altogether.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: I would say if you have a large desktop and want a cool mouse pad you will like this one.

Pros: Huge and cool looking. lots of space, easy to use and install components, spare parts chest in the bottom. lots of uses water cool or other. Easy to cool and the handle has made it ease to move around. All the above cool case. I have a full MSI 970 gaming MB, and corsair 750 ps, AMD fx6300 cpu, and a MSI 960 video card and still tons of space in this thing. with a captain 240 water cooler in it as well.

Cons: none that I can think of mechanically, but with the wires and instructions found a wire that I have not been able to figure out were it goes and what it does. But after install everything seems to be working.

Overall Review: yup, buy one today, jut make sure you have enough darn space on your desk lol
