Pros: It looks well made. Nice and cool with the blue fan. I have a 750GB WD and was writing/reading on it for more than 5 hours and this thing was still cool.

Cons: Little bigger than other enclosures, maybe because of the size of the fan in this case. If you have a silent or near silent PC, this can be loud but tolerable. If you watch an action movie, play videogames with high volume, you will not notice the enlcosure noise.

Overall Review: Not sure about other reviewers, but I was able to align and mount the hard disk ok without much effort.

Pros: It works at 1600 Mhz as advertised. I got those on sale with $15 off.

Cons: It doesn't work with advertised timing of 8-8-8-24. It simply wouldn't boot with this timing. Then I changed it to auto and it shows timing 9-8-8-24. However CPUID shows 8-8-8-25 at 800Mhz (double rate = 1600Mhz).

Overall Review: Not worth the RMA. It works fine with 9-8-8-24 timing (tested with Memtest+ 4.20 for more than 14 hours). A bit disappointed since I have other G.Skill Ripjaws RAM that work perfectly at 8-8-8-24. Tested on Zotac 890GX and Gigabyte EP-45T. I'll try later with a 1155 board.

Pros: Quad core. Eight threads. Good and cheap upgrade from old 4690K or 4790K. Low power consumption. Stock fan good enough if no overclock is planned. Cheaper than an used i5-7600K or i7-7700k. Cheaper than an used i7-4790K.

Cons: Price could be cheaper. Not great upgrade or not necessary if you have previous gen (7th, 8th or 9th). Performance will be the same mostly for general use.

Overall Review: Many websites mention Intel budget PC builts for 2020 edition and this CPU was the one mentioned. I paired this one with Asus Z490-M Prime with 16GB DDR4-3200 (2 x 8GB sticks) and it works great after some hiccups due to BIOS upgrade. Don't expect much from internal iGPU which is pretty much the same as previous gen. Although I tested ok or decent with casual games like 2D platforms, adventures, puzzles and similar. This is a great budget upgrade if you are going to re-used some old parts like monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, DDR4 RAM, etc. So probably in near future, I will upgrade to a Nvidia GPU and a couple of M.2 SSD.

Pros: Dual USB3 header. Dual M.2 slots. Nice BIOS settings for overclocking if you have the right CPU. DDR4 XMP settings

Cons: No enough USB ports in the back if you are using a lot of USB devices. BIOS issues, but those can be resolved. PCIe still gen3.

Overall Review: Paired with Intel i3-10100, it was a decent upgrade from Z97 with i5-4690K. I was planning a small budget built and this suits very well and re-using parts from previous old Z97 built. For reference, there are some websites that mention budget Intel PC using the latest 10th generation in 2020. Also decent built-in graphics, although nothing spectacular since it is pretty much the same as previous Intel generations. It was good enough for casual games like 2D platforms, adventure, puzzle and others similar. Or if you are planning or doing WHF (work from home) this setup is good enough for your MS Office and video conferences, etc. One note is that when you flash the bios to a newer version, you might get a blank screen after one or two reboots. One solution is to turn off the PC, clear the CMOS (look for CLRCMOS jumper) and power it on again. Another issue I found probably with newer bios is that if you change too many settings at the same time, it will hang on next boot. So again, clear the CMOS and change one setting at the time; meaning change 1 setting, save bios, reboot then do it again for next setting. Probably this will be fixed in the next BIOS revisions. Not planning to upgrade the graphics card yet which probably I will see what options from Nvidia 3000 series, or re-use my old GTX960 4GB edition. For future proof as far as i know, this board (or the 400 series) will support next generation of Intel CPU (11th gen). So maybe wait and see what upgrade options are going to be available from Intel.

Pros: LGA 775 cpu support with DDR2 and DDR3. Connections for legacy devices: EIDE, floppy, parallel, serial. It works with every DDR2-800 (2 x 2GB) I threw in there: PNY, G.Skill, Corsair, Mushkin. See below for DDR3. Ability to overclock is nice if your CPU can handle it.

Cons: CPU fan connector hard to reach if you have PSU power cables already connected, maybe bad engineering design. None of the DDR3-1600 (2 X 4GB) worked with this board: G.Skill, Corsair, Kingston HyperX. Apparently looking through other posts, DDR3 memory problems seem to be common. I would not recommend to buy DDR3-1066 if you have a bunch of DDR2-800 to use instead. Chances are you are not going to notice major improvements with this motherboard.

Overall Review: I had a few old components around and decided to re-use them: Intel E6850, E8400, 500GB EIDE, bunch of DDR2-800, etc. The DDR3 was for a new built later, and since I have them at the moment, I decided to test them as well.

Pros: Great cooler. Quiet enough when idle. It keeps my overclocked Q9650 cool around 41C idle and probably 60C under load. Installation can take a little longer depending on your system built and how big your heatsink RAM are nearby.

Cons: Got it back in january or february with rebate. Then rebate somehow was denied after long 3 or 4 months, saying retail/online store not valid. When it comes to rebates, Cooler Master tries really hard not to honor them.

Overall Review: It would not fit in most microATX cases mainly because of the size. Probably the best cooler for the money, if it fits in your PC case. It can be loud sometimes if your case has lots of open space for ventilation (example: HAF 932 or 922). Buy it for the functionality, and forget those horrible rebates.
