nice board and price
Pros: Works well for me. Bios issues are normal in ecs boards its not one of the black series ie not made for overclocking etc. Also ram not working at 1600 is partially the chipset read ecs's site board officially supports DDR3 1333.
Cons: Cmos jumper is in a stupid spot can't get to it without cursing.
Overall Review: System specs: Intel core i3 560 (es) oc'd to 4ghz 2x2gb G.Skill Ripjaws 2000 cl9 @1600 cl8-9-8-24 2x1tb samsung 7200rpm drives Zotac 9800gt 512mb gddr3 eco ed. oc'd to 675/1687/1950 Thermaltake slim x3 Rosewill mini itx case and 250w psu
Solid card
Pros: -Currently the best priced 580 option -Cooler does reasonably well at keeping the card cool
Cons: -No backplate -PCB sag
Good update to the older models
Pros: -card runs a good bit cooler than the revision 1 armor cards -backplate and brace to IO keep the card from sagging much
Cons: -none really. Pricing wasn't any more overpriced than anything else out.
Easy setup, slightly slower the comparable drives
Pros: Largest capacity 42mm drive I could find. Excellent read speeds
Cons: Write speeds are lower than other brands in the same length.
Good product
Pros: Tool free simple install, stiffens up the phone case due to size and works perfectly.
Cons: Gets a bit hotter than just normal charging via USB and can loose connectivity when used with thicker cases. Also it obviously does not work with the double thick high capacity batteries. Not really a con, but I will list it here.
Overall Review: I have had this and the Tt TX-200 charger for a couple of months now and both this and my wifes GS4 version work well. I ended up getting a different case and my occasional connectivity issues went away.
Qi Charging
Pros: Overall a well set up multinational charger. Allows you to simultaneously charge 3 devices, two wireless and one wired from one outlet. The wireless ability is great when you damage your charging port on the phone and the simplicity of setting a phone down to charge versus dealing with a cord is great.
Cons: Nothing major thicker cases sometimes do not consistently charge and the phones tend to get a bit hotter than normal charging.
Overall Review: Works great when you and your wife share a nightstand and have an mp3 player and two phones to charge. One small footprint item takes care of all three from a single wall socket leaving room for one of the old school alarm clocks that nobody uses anymore.
