Better than I expected

Pros: The adapter itself is much smaller than I was expecting it to be, barely larger than a phone charger Quick and easy connectivity. Plug it in, sync it up, and off you go Using Testmy.net on my normal 50 ft ethernet cable I was getting DL speeds of 27 Mb/S and upload speeds of 4 Mb/S. Using this kit I was getting the exact same speeds for both download and upload. I was expecting to lose a bit of speed but you don't
Cons: Not a con for me but the instructions this comes with are a joke. The *quick installation guide* they give you is just the same exact picture that is on the side of the box When you plug the adapter into the outlet you cannot have the ethernet cable hooked up already. I found out that if you have the ethernet cable in the adapter and plug it into the outlet it does not power on. I had the same unable to connect issue the other reviewer had at first on one adapter as well. I tried a couple different things before I finally just switched the ethernet cable end for end, then it worked perfectly.
Overall Review: I normally have a 50ft ethernet cable running from the room my router is in to my room with my PC. It has to run outside and around the house before coming in the wall to my room. This adapter kit is quite literally one of the nicest things I could have for that situation. I have had to repair or buy new cabling several times since moving here due to outside animals chewing through it.
Excellent card

Pros: Easy to OC Had the core clock running at 1200 mhz and the memory clock pushing 1500. Never even got close to running hot because the stock shroud and blower on this thing is an absolute beast.
Cons: Don't expect to ever recieve a rebate from HIS. I waited 6 months for mine after it had been approved and labeled as *shipped out*. I finally called and complained and they told me that after it gets approved that HIS no longer handles it and that a second company handles it. I called them and asked to check the balance of my card and according to them it had been shipped out and the full balance had already been used. It was supposed to be a 40 dollar rebate, and knowing then I would never receive it I would not have bought this.
Overall Review: If there is a sale price that IS NOT a MIR go for it, but beware of the MIR scam from this company.
Initial Thoughts

Pros: 90 degree sata ports. Color scheme. Excellent VRM/chipset cooling. Plenty of I/O headers for any after market additions you might have. I'm sure there are some other small things I'm missing here, but oh well.
Cons: Vdroop, sweet terrible Vdroop. Setting the voltage at 1.35 for my fx-6300 it drops below 1.29 during stress testing resulting in multiple cores immediately failing and the eventual BSOD. Medium LLC setting helps alleviate it a bit not letting it drop below 1.344. I've confirmed this issue with many people I know that own this board, so it's not just me. When overclocking it tends to stutter when it boots. It will power on and start booting and quickly shut off for a second and then continue booting again. Not a ground breaking issue as I don't see any damage resulting from it, but it's a nuisance.
Overall Review: Not really a con but a downside. There is only 1 CPU fan header. Basically anyone running an aftermarket air cooler with 2 fans is going to have to route a fan cable somewhere else for another header, or use an ugly looking splitter.
Excellent

Pros: Multiple cards supported. Does exactly what you expect it to.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Worth it.
It works

Pros: If you're getting interference from your onboard this is a great and cheap alternative to a USB solution. Software that it comes with is pretty nice.
Cons: It's exactly what you would expect out of a soundcard I payed 13 bucks for. The built in amp is pretty much non-existent.
Well worth the $15

Pros: Everything you expect from the Malwarebytes name Active protection Lightweight Notification near your system tray whenever it blocks something
Cons: Comes with some junk software that is pretty much not even worth the paper it comes packaged in
