Most Favorable Review

Great Board

ASUS GRYPHON Z87 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS GRYPHON Z87 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 uATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: mATX form factor with great options. 4 chassis fan headers and 2 cpu fan headers for push-pull uefi bios is p.sweet and overclocking was a breeze this is personal preference but i love the color scheme

Cons: has one of those annoying i/o shields, with the spongy back so you have to mash your motherboard against the case to screw it into the standoffs doesnt come with armor kit like the sabertooth =(

Overall Review: Overclocked a 4670k to 4.4ghz @ 1.16vcore with an nzxt respire t40 in push-pull setup. barely hit 70*C temps. Is crazy compared to my old setup, a phenom x4 9550 and radeon 7750. current specs: i5-4670k nzxt respire t40 cooler asus gryphon z87 asus gtx660 corsair cx430m nzxt source210 case.

Most Critical Review

Threaded mounting holes are useless

ORICO Aluminum 5.25 inch to 2.5 or 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit with Screws and Shock Absorption Rubber Washer- Black  (AC52535-1S-V1)
ORICO Aluminum 5.25 inch to 2.5 or 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit with Screws and Shock Absorption Rubber Washer- Black (AC52535-1S-V1)

Pros: It holds my 3.5" hdd just fine. It's held up off the tray even, so it looks like I could screw a 2.5" ssd to the bottom of it and use the one adapter for both drives.

Cons: The adapter has threaded holes to screw it into the 5.25 bay, however the supplied screws don't match up with it and they just slide through the mounting bracket. so it's not tightened in at all. Pretty silly oversight but, it's cheap.

Overall Review: used it to put my 3.5" hdd under my optical drive, for a cleaner look inside the case, so to that extent it worked. as also noted it holds the 3.5" hdd a bit off the case, which appears to allow it to fit a 2.5" ssd on the opposite side which will be nice when i order one of those (come on samsung 840 evo, let me buy you) overall not a bad product for how cheap it is. they could of at least supplied the right screws though.

Cheap cable, works fine.

Pros: Cheap It works

Cons: Nothing now, i mean, it's a cable..it works.

Overall Review: Used to move WAP to other side of basement for better coverage in the house. It works. Would buy again.

Hit the lotto

Intel Core i5-4670K - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54670K
Intel Core i5-4670K - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646I54670K

Pros: Unlocked of course Pretty powerful

Cons: stock themal paste on the cpu itself is supposedly bad, similar to ivy bridge i didn't use the stock cooler, but it looks ugly, xD

Overall Review: Pushed the little guy to 4.4ghz @ 1.16vcore with a NZXT Respire T40 in push-pull setup. Stays right around 70*C. Many recommend I delid it as I appear to have a pretty good chip. I'm too scared to do that.

Excellent for the Price

HIS iCooler Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card H775F1GD

Pros: Great Value Stays very cool Fan is near silent, AMD heatsink drowns it out regardless

Cons: It isn't the prettiest card sitting in their Can't overclock it much, bumping it from 800/1125 to 900/1250 causes lots of crashing/instability

Overall Review: If I am trying to adjust settings, such as VSYNC or even Alt-Tabbing out of games they have a tendency to crash. I've gotten a few "Graphics Driver has crashed and recovered on it's own". I'm on Windows 8 64bit, and I think it is the issue, as i had the same problems on my laptop with win 8. I may go back to Win 7 and update if it is better. I play League of Legends, and Counter-Strike Global Offensive. Both games run at 80+FPS on very high at 1680x1050 on a 22" dell monitor. I also play Kerbal Space Program and it runs very smoothly on here with most settings disabled(this game is super CPU intensive, so not a good test of the GPU) Specs: AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ Dual Core 3ghz 4gb DDR2 @ 400mhz 300w PSU Windows 8 64bit

Slow

Newegg has emailed me about my experience when I am still yet to receive the item. It's been 16 days since I ordered it and it still isn't here. So much for 5-7 day shipping.
