Pros: I installed it today. It was as easy as putting it into the PCI slot, turning on the computer, and installing the drivers from the CD. L4D looks awesome on the highest graphics settings, and I get a constant 60 fps (which might be what it's capped at). Quiet fan. Less noticeable than the 6600GT I had. To clear it up for new buyers, this is a 9800 GTX+. The box you get will have a '+' on it. GPU-Z confirms that it has the 55nm core. The only accessories it comes with are a a DVI-to-VGA converter and the adapter to turn two 4-pin molex connectors into a 6-pin PCI connector. Also, this card only requires one 6-pin power connector. Newegg has it mistakenly listed as "2 x 6 Pin."

Cons: Size, but my mid-size ATX case has enough room in between the graphics card and the hard drives for the SATA power cables. The card is also perfectly offset from my hard drives so I can still use straight SATA data cables. This may not be the case for everybody. I, however, didn't have to move any hard drives to make it fit. No stickers, despite the fact that the little folder inside says "This folder contains: EVGA Case Stickers."

Overall Review: My PC: CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz (w/ stock CPU fan) RAM - 4gb Corsair XMS DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Mobo - Asus P5Q Pro Socket 775 Power Supply - Corsair 550VX 550W ATX12v v2.2 Case Fans - 4x 80mm (2 in the front, 2 in the back) Temperature specs while playing L4D: CPU - 38 C Motherboard - 38 C GPU - 65 C @ 60% fan speed

Pros: New kill streaks are fun.

Cons: Absolutely terrible multiplayer mode. The flow of the game just isn't right. It's kinda like Left4Dead vs. Left4Dead 2, as in Black Ops is very cartoony compared to Modern Warfare 2. It's also very choppy, even on a machine with respectable hardware. I loved MW2, and I am very disappointed with Black Ops.

Overall Review: My system: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 Ghz 4 GB DDR2 800 RAM EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+

Pros: -1440p IPS panel for a reasonable price.

Cons: -First monitor arrived with a scratch on the screen. It was also covered in pet hairs, so apparently it wasn't cleaned or inspected after being returned by another customer. -Second monitor arrived in better condition than the first, but it had at least 2 dead pixels and worse backlight bleed than my PG279Q. -Bezels are wider than the PG279Q. I am using the MG279Q as a second monitor, and I had hoped that it would match the PG279Q's aesthetics, but it doesn't. It would be nice if Asus offered a more economical twin since I don't need two PG279Qs. I just want the bezels to be the same.

Overall Review: Since the risk of defects is high, I would only recommend buying this if the savings is worth your time to RMA at least once or twice.

Pros: It works. Passmark's PerformanceTest software gave me a Memory Mark score of 3152 (99% percentile).

Cons: My motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-Z170XP-SLI) would not boot using the XMP memory profile (even though this memory is on Gigabyte's "approved" list). I had to tweak the setting manually (with Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility) to achieve the advertised speeds. 9/5/17 Update: After updating my BIOS to version F21, the XMP profile works.

Pros: Overclocked GPU to +3.5% (1350 MHz) and Memory to 1850 MHz using AMD's Global WattMan software. Power Limit = +25%. Worked fine under 3DMark's stress tests, but it seems to crash about once per day while playing Overwatch. 3DMark Scores (with Intel i5-6600K @ 4.28GHz): Time Spy = 4,211 Fire Strike = 10,857 Sky Diver = 25,516 VRMark Orange Room = 7,111 VRMark Blue Room = 1,186 PassMark 3D Graphics Mark Score: 10,391 (98% percentile) -DirectX 9 = 218 frames/sec -DirectX 10 = 128 frames/sec -DirectX 11 = 144 frames/sec -DirectX 12 = 55 frames/sec Max Temp: 75C w/ fan running approx 2,000 RPM (not loud)

Cons: None so far

Pros: A BB-sized drop is all you need. My i5-6600K at 4.28GHz stays below 70C during stress testing with a stock Intel fan that came with my last CPU.

Cons: The cap appears to be an interference fit only. Why can't this be threaded?
