Gets the job done well while re-using DDR3 memory I had collecting dust

Pros: - Typical, excellent, Asus build quality - Allowed me to recycle some available DDR3 memory that was sitting in a drawer - Rig runs cool and quiet (i5-6500 CPU) 24/7 as my BOINC client
Cons: - None, I couldn't be happier with the choice.
Overall Review: - If you want a current CPU to be used with available DDR3 memory, then this is a solid choice. I have had zero, none, nadda, zilch issues with this motherboard. This system runs 24/7/365 at/near 100% utilization and has been doing quiet well.
Lasted for 20 months

Pros: Great design. Cool and quiet. Modular cables help keep system tidy and manageable.
Cons: Died at the 20 month mark. Intermittent failures. Finally replaced with another brand. This is my second Zalman to expire either during or slightly after its warranty expired.
Overall Review: Buyers expect more from Zalman, who usually make top notch products. I have called myself a Zalman "fanboy" in the past, but will only do so for HSFs, not PSUs. Been let down twice now. Requested RMA from Zalman. If replaced, this one goes on the shelf as a backup PSU.
Great airlow, VERY quiet, easy to build.

Pros: - Typical Fractal Design excellence and attention to detail - Airflow to motherboard area is superb. Straight, clean airflow. Zero obstructions. - No sharp edges. Excellent, pliable grommets. Cable ties on back of motherboard tray are nice touch.
Cons: - No included fan controller. This would really help make this an excellent value. - While I don't have HDDs in my rig, I wonder how well they will be cooled in their mounts (on the backside of the motherboard tray). Does not appear to be a lot of airflow in this area of the case. - No 5.25 bays (not a factor for me, but could be for others)
Overall Review: - This case helps make a very quiet system. Mine is barely audible. - If you are looking for "bling" this is not the case for you, very understated design.
Fast, powerful, quiet

Pros: Performance is optimized for 4k. Maxes out everything I throw at it. Installation was a no-brainer. Zero stability issues. Zero throttling. Minimal noise, even more quiet that the water-cooled R9 Fury X I previously had in this rig. I have experienced none of the issues previous reviews posted and I have had installed and running since 5 JUL 2017.
Cons: It is expensive. However, this is a premium, professional level device and the price should come as no surprise. The "blue" takes some getting used to.
Overall Review: looking forward to future driver releases for greater performance. System includes: AMD Ryzen 7 1800X | Corsair H115 | Corsair Obsidian 750D | Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero | 32GB | 512GB Samsung 850 Pro | 4TB HDD | Radeon Vega Frontier Edition 16GB | Windows 10 Pro x64
Great while it lasted

Pros: - Excellent performance - Quiet - Normally rock solid quality products from Sapphire/AMD
Cons: - Too quiet (died)? - Questionable reliability? - Fluke?
Overall Review: This is my first (of many) Sapphire GPUs to meet an untimely demise. The GPU is simply not stable in 2 very different platforms (i5-6500 and Ryzen 1700 based systems). The GPU locks up under load. Zero OCing. In fact, underclocking doesn't alleviate the problem. Now beyond my 30 day return window with Newegg, I have initated a RMA with Sapphire.
Great in its time, but getting dated

Pros: Quiet. Well designed professional grade GPU.
Cons: AMD drivers for this GPU are nearly a year old. This is unexpected of a professional grade GPU, especially after MS moved so many users (like me) from Win 7 to Win 10, for "free". AMD had to know that many users would make this move and it seems have left those users with obsolete drivers for these GPUs.
Overall Review: Works okay in my Linux box, but even driver support there is lacking.
Noctua Continues to Impress
Noctua provides some of the finest products to market. Superb quality and workmanship. I use and recommend their products all the time. Fast delivery, fair pricing, excellent service. What is not to love?
Sweet Sound and Deal!!!
While the box was damaged during shipment, the instrument arrived safe and sound!!! Will make my wife very happy for Christmas!!! There was an issue with the order. The original item requested was no longer available, DDM made it right by offering the next higher model at the original price. Excellent company to do business with. Highest regards!!!
