Pros: - looks aesthetically pleaseing - sturdily built

Cons: - heats up pretty good when playing even old 3d games on low settings

Overall Review: I'm returning my Crosshair for hopefully a decent replacement. I figured out that 3D games are safest played on the lowest settings and fans need to be on highest setting, no matter how old the game is or how long you play. I also purchased a secondary cooler. It crashed a couple times still, so I'm not sure it was an overheating issue. I realized the screen goes black after playing games for a while, This requires multiple manual restarts to remedy each time. On top of all of that, the keyboard backlight doesn't work. It never did and I only realized it was supposed to after looking up if others were having the same issue as the first issue I was talking about. I'll try replacing it and hopefully it happens quickly and smoothly because I am on a deadline.
