My best one yet
Pros: Not the MOST expensive. Easy install with all the info on video all over the web. No compatibility issues so far. Runs cool for most games I own. It was fun to build my own system based on this. At the moment I wan't even think of going back to AMD's FX.
Cons: IDK. I love my new gaming PC
Complex software required and not explained.
Pros: Any OC thoughts - realized. Spacious. Cooling options are nice. Control of temperature thru provided software is helpful while overclocking. Easy install and test with buttons on board itself. Love the look of BIOS. Wish all of them to be like this one.
Cons: Not cheap. Software on the website is not explained well. Not for starter overclocker like me. Choice of software dated few years ago confuses. Some of it I'm still not sure of, do I need it? How to remove it?
Overall Review: Now 1 year later I can say: THIS MOTHERBOARD has serious mechanical problems!!! USB ports front and rear lack good connection. Slightest movement of the plugged cable causes it to connect/disconnect. Similar problem with audio jacks FAN 2 on motherboard makes annoying sounds frequently
Great GPU
Pros: Games are maxed out using these two on SLI
Cons: Price is high. You'll need a lot of room on your motherboard and a full size case.
Overall Review: I ordered two of these and received two game codes for the same game... There's got to be better solution than stuff people with games they don't even play.
HD
Pros: Hi Def movie more than a game. Beautiful.
Cons: I'm not a biggest fan of a role playing
More than enough
Pros: Quiet. I have i7 3770K on ASRock z77 OC Formula with 2x GeForce 680s and cooling system. Even while OC never heard it's fan.
Cons: None so far
Faster one for me
Pros: I had 6 core FX (3.3) before this one. And its a huge improvement in everything!
Cons: Not yet.
