Lightning Fast Drive
Pros: Mega fast read/write speeds. Low heat output and power consumption. 2.5 compact form factor.
Cons: Cable a bit short, but not "Too" short, (I have a full ATX case however). Pricey..!!
Overall Review: Newer games and large video editing and photo editing benefit from NVMe drives. Boot times too..!! Fallout 4 for instance with it's long switching times from one area to another, especially hi-res HD settings, is due to the long read/write speeds of a mechanical drive. SSD's help but are still hampered by SATA throughput. With a modern rig, SATA is the last bottleneck to unfettered performance. NVMe is the answer..!!
Excellent Fans
Pros: These fans are quite and render true colors and easily controlled by the iCue app.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I highly recommend Corsair fans.
The Next Step to Speed
Pros: Easy installation. Motherboard recognized it, plugged my NVMe drive into it, and it worked..!! It's a must have for using 2.5 form factor NVMe drives without a native SFF 8639 plug. Forget SSD's if you have the extra money, NVMe drives are sick fast..!!!
Cons: None, just plain worked like it was supposed to..!!
Overall Review: The last bottleneck of speed in a monster rig is the hard drive. With NVMe you're complete, i.e., load times of large graphics/CAD projects or scene switching in gaming, say like, Fallout 4 in HD, (2560 X 1440), goes away. Boot times are insane fast, program installations, ridiculous fast..!!!
Wow....!!!!!!
Pros: GREAT BASS, nice highs, solid construction, phone mic with call button, flat rubber cord..!!
Cons: Kind of bulky/heavy felling in the ear..!!
Overall Review: I guess you can't have it both ways so I suppose Pioneer made them as small as possible while keeping them big enough to have the sound they do, and at the end of the day, you don't buy $200 earphones for a fashion statement..!! These things perform..!!
FYI processor info
Pros: FYI, if you are buying this board and you are also buying a new i7 4790K it may not post with it..!! Lucky I hade an i7 4770K to put in it to get it to post to be able to update the BIOS so it would recognize the 4790..!?!? Called MSI Tech line, (Got pretty quick service BTW) and this smart guy told me in .02 seconds exactly what to do...!!!
Cons: None
Insane Card
Pros: Unreal frame rates..!! Liquid cooling soaks up all the heat it can generate..!! Don't even worry about setting all video options in your games on Ultra High, Max, Sick, Dope, what ever word you wanna use..!!!!! Better get a new power supply if you don't have a rated and 1000W + PSU...!?! Quite as a church mouse..!!!
Cons: Zero...
Overall Review: Sucks I paid $1,499 for it but when you want to be the first on your block to have something you gotta pay to play I suppose..!!! At $999 its a steal, install and go back and play all you old favorite titles..!!!!!
Always Great Service.
