Pros: Sata 6, USB3, variety of pci slots, dual LAN, etc. Lots of utilities and software for overclocking and CPU monitoring and maintenance.

Cons: Problem with the Marvell controller throwing a "No hard disk detected" prompt during boot up. Known issue from the boards I read, BIOS/driver update has not corrected it. Not sure if this is why I can't set the SATA to AHCI. Only boots in IDE mode. I'm running an Intel 40GB SSD as my boot drive and a 640 WD Black for a data drive.

Overall Review: Everything went together nicely and fired right up. Of course I did my homework to make sure my components matched up right. The hard disk error is irritating but not functionally prohibitive. I just think I might be missing something either with a BIOS setting or an incorrect driver.

Pros: Looking at the stats, it sounds great.

Cons: Looking at the warrantee and it says: Understanding our pixel warranty policy Defective Pixel (Include Dead/Stuck/Sub Pixel ) : 0-5 defective pixels are allowed

Overall Review: How can 5 dead pixels be allowed and this be a reputable company?

Pros: Worked like a charm. I was able to re-route my SATA controller when my new vid card covered the slot.

Cons: Yes, it takes a while to come from China but what do you expect from a reseller? They also tell you that too so no one should complain.

Overall Review: Watch the sales, I got this item for under $10 shipping and all.

Pros: Price and function. Plays CPU intensive games like Dayz relatively well on moderate to conservative settings. Fits in my form factor build without modification.

Cons: Fan is a little noisy for graphic heavy games but what do expect for a form factor video card?

Overall Review: I almost bought the R7 with 4gb of ddr3 but this one had more clock memory, glad I did. Also, this will NOT run without the fan so don't think you will get that covered pci slot back without an extension ribbon.

Pros: I will be purchasing this board in the coming weeks, fully aware of it's shortcomings.

Cons: I thought the price was great until you RESEARCH and realize that the cheapest memory for 2400mhz is $80.

Overall Review: Why would anyone buy this board and attempt to install XP or use outdated ps2 peripherals??? Just a tiny bit of research would reveal that it's not legacy friendly. I hate when people give a poor review because they didn't do their homework or update the hardware. Don't buy state of the art stuff and then connect it to your outdated stuff from your old pc.

Pros: Works and is cheap. See cons.

Cons: The holes that hold the bracket (not the ssd) to the 5.25 hole are not threaded. Nor are 99% of the cases out there (usually the hdd is threaded). So I had to use self tapping sheet metal screens to hold the bracket in the 5.25 slot because they only ship you machine screws that thread into a hdd.
