Not as Windows 8 Ready as it claims

Pros: A snap to install, closer in dimensions to a ATX than a E-ATX board. Haven't had enough time to play with all the settings yet, but so far I'm extremely happy with this purchase. Windows 8 comes with drivers for almost everything contained on the board.
Cons: Most of the utilities on the driver DVD don't work in Windows 8, like the anti-virus, Daemon Tools. I haven't had any hardware issues as of yet, all of my complaints are software related. The board isn't as Windows 8 ready as it claims. The front panel USB headers don't work without a bit of poking and proding, installing AI Suite II seemed to resolve that for me.
Overall Review: Despite my difficulties with Windows 8 I highly recommend this board to someone looking for a solid board with a lot of options. I have a Noctua NH-D14 cooler and it fits over the heatsinks on the board, for anyone concerned about that cooler. Case: Cooler Master HAF XM PS: Corsair HX1050W MB: ASUS Maximus V Formula/ThunderFX CPU: Intel i5-3570k @ 4.6 Ghz Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 Memory: 16GB G. Skill Ripjaw X 1600Mhz (4x4GB) Video: ASUS DirectCu II GTX 670 2GB x2 SLI HDD: 2x 500GB WD Caviar Black (RAID 0) Optical: Lite-on 12x Blu-ray Burner
Great card!

Pros: Finally able to achieve rock solid frame rates with max details on every game I've thrown at it.
Cons: So far I haven't found any major drawbacks. Some of the other cards are a bit cheaper, but difficult to find them in stock when I bought this card. Fan can run a bit loud at times. I usually don't notice because I wear a headset while gaming. No DVI port so I had to snag an adapter but I knew that before I bought the card.
Overall Review: I've been using it daily for a few weeks now and am very pleased with my purchase. I upgraded from a 980 FTW and saw nearly double the performance. I am writing this review to enter into the "Join the Republic - Your path to Legendary Commences" campaign.

Pros: Semi Modular design means less cable clutter. Plenty of power for most any system out there. Long cables, a little too long for my mid tower, but would probably be just right for a full tower.
Cons: Can't think of anything right now.
Overall Review: There is a slight buzzing sound that comes from the case every little bit. I haven't figured out exactly which part is making the noise, at first I was thinking coil whine. It comes and goes for maybe 10 seconds at a time, so it's hard to pinpoint the origin. If I can determine it is from the psu I may RMA it for one that doesn't make as much noise.

Pros: Quick and easy to redeem on the Nvidia site
Cons: Was hoping for a Steam code, but it gave a Uplay store code.

Pros: Quick and easy to redeem for a Steam code.
Cons: None
Fantastic Card

Pros: Standard setup like any other card. Actually was clocked a little high, under full load the card I got would boost to 1080Mhz without any modifications on my end. Fantastic cooling setup. This card out performs my old card while running at a cooler temp. I've seen it hit 70C but usually it's around 65C while gaming @1080p. So far I've only tested Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed III and Borderlands 2 with the card. All settings Maxed at 1080p and they all maintain an average framerate of 50+ Occasional dips to high 40s but overall it does better than I expected.
Cons: So far I haven't run into any issues.
