Pros: QUIET - Molex wrapping made my case interior look fantastic. Length was excellent and the various plugs were sufficient for my needs. Fit my Mid Tower Raidmaxx case with no issues at all.

Cons: Not really a con, but the price hurt a little bit. Then again, you get what you paid for. No more cheap PSUs for me! After this product, I'll be brand loyal for life.

Overall Review: This PSU is helping my old computer keep it's legs. I can still play the latest games and MMOs ( AoC included ) with my "meager" system.

Pros: Easy install Relatively quiet for what it is and the rpms it would run at. Drops temps from stock by a bunch and kept them low during marathon game play.

Cons: I bought 2 with the thought I would eventually get another video card to run in SLI. I never did so the extra sat in my closet until 2 days ago. After a bit more than a year the first one started making a chirping noise. When I took the card out it was actually worse than I thought. The rear most fan had seized and was canted at an angle with several of the blades broken off. The front fan was doing all the work ( the temps remained about the same so I guess that is a testament to the radiator ) Knowing I had the extra I just installed it and put the card back in. Almost immediately it was making a loud pinging noise. The blades were clipping the aluminum frame some where. I pulled the card and looked for any spots that might be at fault. I failed to find any and reinstalled with the side panel left off so I could see it operating. When I started the computer up it made that same noise. I looked at the fans and saw that the rear fan was "walking" down it's shaft about 3 or 4 cm and hitting the frame of the unit. The front one was fine. By the time I got the computer shut down 2 of the plastic blades had broken off.

Overall Review: When it worked it was amazing. I had a bit over a year of worry free operation. I can't fault the efficiency of the radiator at all either. The fans were the downfall however. They are quite cheaply constructed and flimsy. Brittle is also a fair description.

Pros: Small desktop footprint Mechanical keys

Cons: Not back lit No option to turn off the annoying brand name emblem. Died in less than 1 year

Overall Review: This is the 2nd Razer product that I've owned that has failed completely inside of one year. All told they have soaked me for 220 bucks. I'll never buy from them again. Quality is NOT something they are interested in. They go for looks and name branding alone. Buyer beware. I hooked up my ancient Logitech G11 and it's working like a champ. It has more than 5 years of heavy FPS and MMO use with nary a problem... except it's as big as an air craft carrier.

Pros: It fits in my case?

Cons: It's not Corsair ... NEVER stray from good, reputable name brands. It always bites you in the back side. This started crashing about 3 months into it's use. I built a complete system from the ground up and cut a corner here ( based on reviews which, sadly, seem to have been by people who wrote the review the moment they installed it ) When this heats up it crashes randomly. My system is running SLI on water. The GPUs are a frosty 26c under load even in summer. The CPU is also on water and runs frosty as well. After many crashes I finally changed out the PSU for my old corsair and what do ya know? The crashes went away. The 650w Corsair is probably running at it's limit with the SLI and water pumps and STILL it performs perfectly.

Pros: Price No power plug needed Runs cool - exhausts to the rear Short card overall 2 gigs for this price point is excellent Low power consumption

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: I bought this with the intent to use it as a dedicated physX card. In this capacity it is flawless. My personal FPS have increase 10 or more on ultra high graphics settings ( WoW - Borderlands 2 - GW2 - Neverwinter - A TON of games that can't utilize the power of my main GPU yet still managed to run better regardless ) My new rig was built with low power consumption and cool temps in mind.

Pros: Price - in this price range there are few boards that offer as much. Quality - I've had two boards ( more on that below ) and both have looked fantastic with no cheapness evident anywhere. For a budget brand name you expect a little corner cutting but there was none to be found here.

Cons: This is a niggling con but it does deserve mentioning. I would have appreciated more fan headers. I have a HAF case and water cooling so my needs were extreme, still I feel there should have been two more as this is an enthusiasts board.

Overall Review: I originally bought this board a few months ago and then did something I've not done in all my years of building my own computers. I dropped the CPU into the socket damaging the pins. An expensive mistake to be sure. Instead of blaming bent pins on the manufacturer I owned up, and bought another board. I had choices and returned to this one again. It was a breeze to set up my SSD boot drive and found all 32 gigs of ram that was installed. Couldn't ask for much more.
