Pros: my last case was a antec 900. the 900 was gaudy looking and looked like a something a teenager would own. well now that im grown up( kinda) i decided to go with a more adult looking system. this is it. its just as roomy as the 900 and all the great cooling. granded the top cpu fan is 140 vs whatever the 900 had on top it still runs the system cool and quite. plus the fans plug into my centry lcd touch screen fan controler and run fine. i like this case. antec always makes a solid quality constucted case. i got this and a antec bp 550 ps combo for the low. the antec ps runs my system overclocked and my single ati midrange card without an issue. I Recomend.

Cons: none

Pros: 1 set of 3 worked

Cons: 2 of 3 sets didtnt pass memtest one stick in each set was busted

Overall Review: ive beena supporter of gskill for years. i bought a set a month or more ago. one stick was bad. i didnt rma cus the other stick was sold in a computer so i couldnt return one without the other. i just bought 2 more sets thinking the first was a fluke. of the two sets ones sticked failed every memtest result. DO NOT BUY THIS RAM IF U WANT RAM THAT WORKS> 66% chnce you will get at least one bad stick

Pros: I ordered the first set months ago for $106 . The first set did 1700 mhz at 7 8 7 21 trimmings . If you look most of the decent gskill is 7,8,7,24 timing . Save money and get these

Cons: Don't get 9 9 9 24 . Garbage, unless you have a garbage system

Overall Review: Don't even claim high tech knowledge if you dont know 1333 is the freq that defaults . For Intel and amd . I own a computer shop and its funny listening to not so smart people rma two motherboardd . Sometimes RAM comes n bad . I blame shipping . all manufactures r the same . Do a men test . Google it . Don't trouble shoot if u don't know how, learn to test hardware and what your buying . If u don't know how to set ram buy a Walmart computer ;)

Pros: OVERCLOCKING KING, its not just marketing. I own a computer shop and have built 3 systems with this board, two from the egg and one from someone else. GREAT OVERCLOCKING BIOS> more control then the the last $144 asus 890g something asus board. that board had the worst BIOS ever. i have run most of the AM3 AMD cpus in this board. they all overclocked well. i was able to hit 4.175 x2 555 c3 revision CPU. when this board comes in i am going to test the phenom II X6 and will leave a review on how this board and that cpu overclock.

Cons: none. you get what they say. if you read about this hardware then you already know what your getting if you dont like it then you move on.

Overall Review: I am a hardware specialists, i have used this board, asus, msi,evga,asrock and every other board company. I like MSI alot, asus is soldi hardware design but garbage bios. This MSI board is awesome. ALSO the CPU VOLTAGE control is + the base voltage not the total. i burt a athlon ii cpu thinking i was at 1.44v when in reality i was at the factory voltage + 1.44. total loss on that mart. my fault for not reading carefuly. GREAT BOARD, if your a overclocker then get it, if not then your better off with some mainstream company that spends more on marketing so you can think your getting something better

Pros: overclocked dual core @4.175 vcore 1.52 cpu temp 40.5 c has been running prime 95 as i type stable for 30 mins. WOW.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Biostar TA890FXE runs this like no tomorrow. its stable 4.175 16.5 multi 253 fsb. im about to try 254 next. ive tested this mobo to 282 fsb so it looks like the cpu is gona fail b4 the mobo. ill post agian when i test higher OVERCLOCKS.

Pros: WOW, i uped the vcore .1 its running at 4.2 ghz vcore 1.47. 16.5 x 255 fsb = 4.207 ghz ram is at 1700 mhz 8 8 8 24 timmiings, gskill trident 1600 8 8 8 24 biostar ta980fxe

Cons: none

Overall Review: buy this chip if u want to overclock and fly! this was an open box that didnt unlock but overclocks well
