Wow
Pros: -Wouldn't even know if they are working unless I actually look at the fan -d*mn it is quiet
Cons: -Turns out brown/cream color scheme looks g*d awful in a black case.
Overall Review: I'm torn because I want to buy two more but my aesthetic...
Good for the price
Pros: -Quality Lenovo brand -Price -Keyboard keys nicely spaced
Cons: -For a Lenovo product the keyboard is pretty flimsy. -Speakers are garbage but if you're looking for something where sound is important you're in the wrong place.
Overall Review: Price to quality I'm not disappointed. I paid $460 and I feel like it was a good deal. As soon as I got it I tried working with 8.1 but I'm not ready to switch over. If anyone else reads this and wants to downgrade to 7 pro use the "Novo" button to get to the BIOS and switch to legacy boot. Took me a couple of days to find out the only way to get to the BIOS was by turning on the computer with that button.
First time using liquid
Pros: -i7-5820K 24c idle 40c under load -it is pretty quiet
Cons: -no real cons that detract from it. EDIT 11/28/2017: Now over a year later it's idling around 40 and 70 under load. Normal operation you can barely hear it, anything that actually uses the CPU it gets to about the level of being next to a vaccum cleaner (sounds like it too).
Overall Review: First time using a liquid system, pleasantly surprised. I have always used air since it doesn't have a chance of leaking, but seems to cool just as well as a comparable air system albeit quieter and with a lower profile. After about a month the pump makes a rhythmic humming sound under slight load but I can tune it out some may find it more irritating than I do.
Works great
Pros: acceptable price to performance, exactly what I was looking for.
Cons: Why would anyone want to use the Crossfire feature with this card. For the price of two of these you could by one card in the same price range that actually functions slightly better.
Overall Review: if by some miracle I received another one of these for free would totally Crossfire them. Also runs hot under stress so make sure you have sufficient heat dissipation in the case.
Would have been nice
Pros: The one that did work was pretty nice
Cons: in a pack of two one was DOA
Overall Review: Not a huge deal, it happens. First time buying G.Skill though so I hope I just got unlucky with getting one dead stick.
looks nice but
Pros: Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and straight forward. Two eggs for that then one for how fast it got here, like almost next day (didn't even use next day shipping).
Cons: Opened box and the face plate is dangling off the case. All of the mounts on the plate broke off.
