Pros: Reads all my game discs, even the ones that didn't want to be read, although it took 5 tries (darn siblings scratching my game discs). Works just as you would expect a DvD drive to work, probably a little better, I didn't do any extensive testing on it.

Cons: It does have quite a bit of noise during the initial boot of the computer. Not sure why, but it is significantly quieter than the one it replaced.

Overall Review: As usual, the color of the drive didn't match the front of my computer. It wasn't black, but more of an off-black. So I went to Home Depot and for $5, spraypainted the front of it glossy black to match my NZXT Phantom 530 series case.

Pros: Works at the same speed as the previous cable that was in there. The only reason that I replaced the older one is because the color didn't match and it didn't have the locks.

Cons: As some of the other reviewers mentioned, the cable is in fact shorter than 10", it is 8". When Rosewill made it's measurements, it conveniently measured from end to end, instead of the length of the cable itself. This caused a slight issue for me being that I had to dangerously bend the cable at both connectors (which may potentially one day cause the wire to fray). So to say, I will probably have to replace this cable fairly shortly. I docked two eggs because of the false advertising.

Overall Review: So far, everything I have seen Rosewill sell has been absolute garbage. I will NEVER purchase anything labeled "Rosewill" ever again.

Pros: Although it is fairly lightweight, it is surprisingly sturdy. I was actually fairly surprised at how good it was for the price I got it for at the time of purchase (it was on sale).

Cons: It was not far enough away from the wall, so a couple of my cables I had to dangerously bend. That is my fault though for not reading into the specs more closely. No eggs docked.

Pros: Great for overclocking It works after hours of attempting to figure out what the hundreds of BIOS configuration settings do

Cons: When using Windows 8, it decides that it would like to override all Windows startup screens and just show the MSI logo. This is using DEFAULT BIOS settings. This may not seem like an issue, until your Windows decides that it wants to do an update and restart without prompting you, then you walk into the room only to see a MSI logo on the screen for 10 minutes and hit the power button thinking Windows crashed. Then when you boot it back up, VOLA! Windows is corrupted. I've had to reinstall windows FOUR times because of this issue. I purchased my RAM at a frequency of 1866mhz. Upon using the default settings, it downgrades the RAM to only 1333mhz. In order to get the correct RAM, you have to go into the overclocking settings and select 1866mhz instead of AUTO. Who would have figured. The location that they put the USB 3.0 connector is just plain outright awful. I have an 11" graphics card, and it covers up the USB 3.0 connector. In order to plug in a USB 3.0 plug, you have to literally spend 5 minutes wedging it in place; and if you have the NZXT Phantom 530 series case as I do, the only way to plug it in is to remove some of the 3.5" hard drive bays. Mind you, the NZXT Phantom 530 case is a FULL SIZE case. To make matters worse, the SATA ports are directly under the USB 3.0 connector, which means even more wedging wires in the place. So to say, two of the pins on my USB 3.0 connector are now bent in a "U"-shape, rendering the connector completely unusable now. What really drew my attention to this over some of the other motherboards with the same specs for the same price (especailly the ASUS, which I regret not getting over this heap of junk), is the amazing dragon decal. Well, good luck seeing it if you are getting a graphics card longer than 9". Because of the location they placed everything, the only way to actually see the dragon is to place the graphics card in the bottom PCIe slot, which restricts airflow because of the power supply being located directly below it. The technical support is that of every other major technology company. You call them in desparation needing help to get something fixed, and NOBODY speaks clear English.

Overall Review: If you want my recommendation, I would say look for something else. This motherboard is a pain and isn't worth dealing with.
