Newer isn't always better

Pros: support for 4 4x pcie at the same time. sata 300, am3+ cpu , 4 ddr2 dimm slots.
Cons: latest bios crashes on reboot with am2 athlon64 x2 4200 cpu. reverted to build 1600, the last one listed as having fixes in the bios, then no issues.
Not worth the effort

Pros: It's solid state and completely silent.
Cons: Windows stutters when running off it, even with steady state. Reads are inconsistent. writes are horrid. took almost two hours to back up 12GB of data off of the drive.
Overall Review: This particular SSD isn't worth the money paid for it. and remember, it's non refundable. so I'm stuck with a SSD that can't do over 3 MB a second.
Wrong thermal pads.

Pros: High quality water block, ram is very cool great performance
Cons: the ram thermal pads were installed with the card. 1.5mm pads were installed on the card when delivered.
Overall Review: Replacing the thermal pads with 1mm thermal pads on the ram and replacing the thermal paste with kryonaut dropped my maximum load temps from 102c to 70c.
Blazing fast CPU. Blazing hot temperature even water cooled.

Pros: Fastest CPU I've ever owned. Better memory controller than the 2000 series.
Cons: CPU practically requires water cooling. Initial temps using air had the temps peaking at 92c. Water cooling helped. Under-volting to 1.1 volts dropped the temps to reasonable range.
Overall Review: Under-volting will save your a thermal headache.
Basic interface doesn't show review strength.

Pros: Small, portable, cheap, a full router in a tiny package.
Cons: Poor signal strength. No receive strength measurement. Only basic wifi configurations.
Overall Review: Only get if you don't need advanced features.
A headset with working remote.

Pros: Finally a headset with a working remote for my HTC Inspire 4G. The buttons have a decent click to them, so you can feel that you're pressing the button. The rubber ear pieces do a decent job of blocking out the sound of the outside world as long as you use the proper size for your ear canal.
Cons: The remote doesn't seem to work with my asus a500 tablet. Android headsets are not universal.
Overall Review: Be sure to remove the lint from inside the headphone jack of your phone before using or you'll have issues using the remote and microphone.
