Pros: -Outstanding single card performance at 1080p -Excellent Technical/RMA support -Doesn't break the bank -You'll probably never need to SLI at 1080p -It still performs excellent while downclocked
Cons: -Had to RMA Reason: Graphics card drivers crash while under heavy load and result in permanent black screen until hard reboot unless downclocked by -150 from default stock speeds. Tested with Unigine Heaven 4.0 Ultra presets @ 1920x1080 fullscreen with vsync disabled. Error also occurs in demanding games.
Overall Review: Always do a lengthy stress test for all components even if you aren't overclocking to verify their integrity.
Pros: -Cheap -Installs ethernet drivers
Cons: -That I still need one -Don't really use it for anything
Pros: -Average price -Can support just about any kind of setup -Stock 120mm fans are good -Side fan support -Front panel interface cables are relatively easy to disconnect for better cable management if you don't care for the AC97 audio connector, or USB 2.0.
Cons: -Does not support H100i without modification
Overall Review: Recommend 200mm fan from Cooler Master to replace the front 120mm.
Pros: -Fully Modular = better cable management -High build quality -More than enough power for 2-way SLI/Cross-Fire -Efficient -Stable
Cons: -A single GTX 970 is already powerful enough for 1080p -A Single GTX 970 only requires a bare minimum of a 500Watt power supply installed
Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone with a 1440p or higher resolution gaming setup, or just someone who wants a high quality modular power supply.
Pros: -Cheap -Effective -Low noise at maximum operating speed
Cons: -None
Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone
Pros: -Cheap -Effective
Cons: -Gets a bit loud at higher RPM, but not many fans don't
Overall Review: Would recommend for any sub $2,000 rig
Pros: -High quality construction -Only a few $ more than lower spec G.Skill memory
Cons: -None
Overall Review: Would recommend this to any enthusiast on an $800-2,000 budget
Pros: -Zero coil whine -Quiet enough to match my Noctua fans -Very solid construction -It's as good as it's made out to be -I'll never regret switching from EVGA
Cons: -Might be a bit large to fit in some areas, such as the top PCIE slot of Asus Z97-A motherboards. It's simply so long that it gets in the way of the USB 3 header. Doesn't look like it will fit too well in the bottom slot, but seats perfectly fine in the center slot. Recommend looking for a motherboard with a smarter design if you ever wanna SLI this beast.
