Pros: I can hear footsteps and such much easier with cmss3d, helps out your game much easier. Can tell where the tank is on the other side of the wall in battlefield bad company 2. Creative is a must have for gaming because of that alone, I didnt hear any static cracks and pops others complained about, and it installed easily and works fine.

Cons: The drivers were very difficult to install, I had to download a specific driver before the auto update could even detect it. Which for me was very frustrating (probably because I had windows 7 64 bit right when it came out) thats why it lost an egg though.

Pros: -After failing with 5 different asus boards (over several generations) my more expensive ram finally has the correct clock ! The killer lan program is really cool, it lets you set bandwidth priorities. All of the connectors you could possibly ask for, plenty of headers. Dual lan allows some cooler advanced networking features. This board has an available monoblock for watercooling (easy install from EK). Gigabytes front panel quick connector is freaking amazing, they snap in instead of being a loose wiggly mess. I love the colors, design and value. This is a great board, and after 10 or so straight asus boards I was hesitant to try something new. I am VERY glad I did.

Cons: The instructions and bios were written by someone that didn't speak English as a first language, however they were still comprehensible.

Overall Review: I wish you could pick the armor color, It seems like the color you want is nowhere near the price point you wanted. I would have loved the black auros color scheme. But it was either too much or too little for what I wanted to spend (I usually get the cheapest board of a nice chip without bloated useless features, or go ALL OUT, which leaves me with white on this board or white on the gaming 9 version). GREAT JOB GIGABYTE

Pros: Just like when ssd came, out using this technology makes your computer a faster more resposive beast of a machine. It makes everything you do on your computer feel faster it's just that simple. If you were blown away the first time your static drive booted up this will be the same experience all over again.

Cons: As others have mentioned packaging seemed insufficient, it came in a bubble wrap envelope. I won't deduct for what might have happened, that's what irrational people do.

Pros: -Very Pretty Fans -Brightest LED on any fan -The rgb led controller works great and comes on many cases

Cons: -Pricey -Corsair refuses to make these in other sizes 140mm

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend these to anyone, with a decent pocketbook.

Pros: This thing is huge, the picture is beautiful. This thing is fairly rugged (I have moved it all over the place) and I havent had a single problem with it.

Cons: Speakers are kinda wimpy.

Pros: This thing supplies power, what more can you ask for? Runs all my fast stuff. Cords were extra lengthy for full size cases.

Cons: I was expecting every cord to hook into the power supply and be removable; instead you get a regular power supply with about 4 removable cords. For that it gets 4 eggs.
