Pros: Easy to install, and everything works. LEDs can be turned off. Also does a good job controlling brightness of my LED strips in my case. Matte black plastic matches my Corsair Air 540 case perfectly.
Cons: White LED color is a little bit more blue than i would like but i usually have the LED numbers turned off.
Overall Review: If you dont need the ability to turn fans off completely (this goes down to 40%) and you dont care about a flashy display than this fan controller is perfect. Currently running 5x AF 140mm fans and 2x 12" LED strips using one splitter. Having all sliders turned down made a huge difference in noise, but only 2 degrees difference in temps.
Love it, but not perfect (yet)

Pros: Looks great (although that is subjective). Brilliant design to get the ugly stuff out of sight. Cable management couldnt be easier. If you have a PSU with ugly cables, just grab some braided extensions. The SATA cables that came with my mobo were long enough for my SSDs and optical drive. Front and top mesh can be easily removed and painted whatever color works for your build. Makes a huge difference. I went with white for mine. My optical drive seems to work just fine installed vertically.
Cons: Ok, here's the little stuff that cost this a 5th egg. USB 3.0 cable too short for any board that doesnt have the header near the 24 pin connector. Top mesh has no filter, so i put two fans up there as exhaust to stop dust and cat hair from settling on top of my case. PSU grill has no filter. Purchased one separately. Holes in floor of case look awful if you dont have HDDs installed. No grommet on bottom cable hole. (No idea why)
Overall Review: Fantastic case with a few small problems. Still highly recommend it, but I expect a 2nd revision would fix a lot of these issues.
Good purchase

Pros: Fast Seems well built Looks good Low power draw for what it does 3GB should give it a decent lifespan, unless the 192 bit bus becomes an issue first.
Cons: GPU boost actually seems to be set at 1080 MHz with the latest drivers, although the card will shoot right past that to 1137MHz without me doing any sort of overclock. This caused the card to go over 70 degrees. Simple fix was to change the fan profile to have the fan kick up a little earlier. Now its frequently running at 1137MHz at 62 degrees which i am happy with. Makes me wonder what the point of the boost clock setting is though. Also, is actually slightly louder than the two 6850s it is replacing. Not enough to bother me though.
Overall Review: After getting the temperatures in check I am very happy with the card. It actually runs faster than advertised. Was a nice upgrade from 6850s in xfire.
Everything I needed

Pros: All of my hardware works, all black components/board makes me happy and in the 3 months since I built the pc I have only had one lockup/crash and that was an issue between windows 7 and an old game. After reading all the reviews about boot loops, you can bet I will be leaving my drivers as-is for a long time.
Cons: When I went into the BIOS to set the XMP profile for my memory instead of confirming what I told it to do, it asked if I wanted to "optimize my CPU" or something like that. Turns out that means over-volt the CPU and led to a BIOS reset. Gigabyte, please either make the question clearer, or leave that stuff out of XMP changes.
