Pros: Runs extremely quiet, pretty much silent I guess, as I cant hear it over my other case fans, which are low rpm so they are quiet to begin with. My card runs under load at 59-60c which is what the set point is. Ive never seen the fans over 1000rpm and below that speed they are pretty much inaudible in my setup. At more of an idle it runs around 50c, and over the last hour or so my fans haven't ran. I do have a fan blowing outside air from the side of my case directly onto the card so Im sure that does help a little. The card is in gaming mode. Performance has more than doubled or tripled for that matter from my previous 6870. Ive increased in quality while gaining fps, and decreasing power consumption. 8 pin power connector is something to consider as a pro as well if you have a compatible power supply, based on some of the reviews I saw the 6 pin might have caused issues when pushing the card hard.

Cons: The stability with my card is mediocre. I expect to be stable, or as stable as my previous card, which it is not. On game start up I get some pretty good fps dips that eventually even out, not to big of a deal but an annoyance. I have had a few occurrences where my pc has froze completely or it has blue screened. Both in game and just web browsing. It has been pretty random as I haven't noticed a pattern. I figure it is new software/drivers that will hopefully be fixed without any major issues. Coming from a system that has never had one hiccup in 4 years to now actually having some issues is a little bothersome.

Overall Review: Once the driver issues are resolved the card would be a 5 star. A back plate would be nice as there is a decent amount of flex with the card, there are rubber bumpers on the heatsink for the capacitors to rest against if the card does flex. I tried to prop mine evenly with the power connector. The card is pretty good sized, it was longer and wider than my 6870 by a larger margin than I thought it would be. i had no issues making it fit but you might want to measure first if you think it will be close.

Pros: Seems like a good PS, has good ratings on Jonnyguru. Plenty of connectors, up to 8 sata drives, and 2 8 pin PCI connectors. Not loud but not quiet either, somewhere in between.

Cons: Much louder than my old Corsair VX450W, but it seems to output less heat because of this, which makes sense, but I think there should be more of a trade off. Molex connectors could be better, the pins are loose enough that they could short on the case if you were unlucky

Overall Review: With only two sata strings on the PS you are out of luck if you run six hard drives and have modern optical drives. Adapters are the only way to make it work. Should have spent the extra money and got something quieter and modular. I thought it would have been quieter based on all the reviews on here, maybe everyone else has had junk power supplies before this one.

Pros: Very nice build quality, the brushed aluminum is very nice. I was impressed with how everything fit together, no misalignments or forcing screws in. I think it looks fantastic.

Cons: Mine was missing the rubber grommets for the 2.5 inch HD's, also missing were the 4 screws for the motherboard extension. I sourced them from an old case and hardware store so no big deal.

Overall Review: Ive been on the lookout for a good small atx case for quite some time, I really wanted something that was more of a micro atx size as I wouldn't mind going to a micro atx board down the road. This really fit what I wanted size wise and its modular so I can fit either board in the future when I upgrade. For now my build in this case is all my old core components, with new rgb fans and lighting, cpu cooler, and power supply. It worked great for installing a mixture of old and new. Things get a little tight on the back side with cable management with the extra rgb wiring to sort. With careful planning everything fit ok and is nicely hidden. A few things to note that might help people, I have a Corsair SF600 power supply, the stock cables that come with the power supply do work, I was worried about them being too short but they work just about right for my build. I have a Noctua NH-D15S for a CPU cooler, with the Cromax top plates, it fits really nice. One thing with it is if you plan on top mounted fans they will be really tight. I have Corsair ML120 fans on the bottom and sides and they wouldn't quite fit on top without rubbing the cooler. I didn't plan on running top fans anyway so this was fine for me but I wanted to note it. A plain fan without any rubber pads might fit ok, I didn't test that though. Overall Im really happy I waited for this case as I absolutely love it. It is a really nice piece worthy of being on display.

Pros: I have several of these installed in random computers I have worked on or built, none have ever given me problems. Some of which are in higher temp and vibration applications, yet they still run great.

Cons: None

Pros: This power supply runs a computer used in data recording, the computer is in a box van ran off of a generator that has varying loads affecting the output of the generator. This power supply has handled this flawlessly for the last 3 years.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Runs great in a subpar environment

Pros: Update, after 4 years this is still running great in my power supply, Smooth running with one exception. Quality cable. Moves a very good amount of air at 12v, and still does well with the included resistive adapter. I like the looks.

Cons: Loud at 12v, acceptable with the adapter. If placed in an updraft position (air blowing up) it has a significant amount of vibration, enough that I would not recommend it in this configuration, rated a 4 egg for this reason. A fan that costs this much and stated as having a high quality bearing should be able to run smoothly in any configuration.

Overall Review: Im running this fan in my power supply as the stock fan in it was garbage. This fan is quieter and moves more air. The only downside is I had to re-orient my power supply so the fan blew down due to the excessive vibration. I had the fan out of any mounting point, and when positioned in any other direction it was great, but in an updraft position it would vibrate. I like the fact that with this fan my power supply is quieter and with the fan running off of a motherboard fan header I will know if it fails or stops running before the power supply cooks.
