Pros: F.T.W. stands for For The Win, and that's no joke! Popped three (3) of these suckers in, cranked up the voltage to max and 980 Mhz core, and viola - Battlefiend Bad Company 2 at 6000x1080 3D Vision Surround at 65 FPS. THANK YOU!

Cons: I debated on removing an egg for this because of how awesome these cards are, but considering the Quality Assurance problem at EVGA, and their exhange policy, I am removing an egg because it's a problem. The problem: I ordered three (3) of these babies. Two were perfect, and the serial numbers sequential. But the third older one had seriously messed up threads on the backside of the card for the G1/4 fittings. Not one, but BOTH on the backside were destroyed beyond repair. The card was new and in shrink wrap, and had EVGA's QA Assurance sticker on it. Scratching my head in disappointment because this is a W/C build after all, and I didn't want to wait, I remembered Newegg's fantastic RMA process. After that, I was back up in 4 days. NewEgg's RMA process was absolutely perfect and saved grace of EVGA. Here's the thing: the RMA "new" item I got in exchange from newegg had messed up threads as well! But, they were salvagable. See video of RMA'd card I received.

Overall Review: I was NOT going to contact EVGA directly for an RMA because the last two times I did that for other EVGA products I bought NEW, all I got back were REFURB pieces in brown boxes - for my 0-day NEW pieces I bought! That seriously hurts resale value. That is why I went to Newegg since I was within my Exchange period, and thank goodness!

Pros: - Looks pretty. - Has room for 3x GPUs. (but no add-on cards) - The 10x SATA ports are at 90 degrees, making cabling much cleaner.

Cons: Board #1 (new retail package from NewEgg): Complete instability. Random hardware lockups/freezes from 2m to 5h (no Linux kernel panics - just pure lockups). So, I installed Windows 2012R2 thinking it may be Linux. It was greatly exasperated under Windows! Tested each 8GB ram stick one at a time: lockups. Disconnected all devices: lockups. Changed to a different PSU: lockups. Technical support had several "BETA BIOS's" they wanted me to flash. Hesitant, I tried. The system would never take a "Recovery" SUPER.ROM flash. Technical support couldn't help with this, as they just gave the standard directions. So, I finally just grabbed and modified a normal flash USB image (why a customer has to go the extreme of hacking a bios flash update, goes to show you the level of quality of this product) to get the BETA BIOS to load. It worked for a few reboots; but now, the system hands during the diagnostics. Email support has been great; but, they say to RMA the board. Extremely hesitant to RMA the board, as this system is in production, I tool the EXTRA time to migrate everything to a very old stable server - and RMA'd the board. Board #2 (RMA product/not retail package): Better. Took the BIOS flash on first try. After a few days using the existing W2K12R2 system I had on the previous board, it started to show hard lockups again. So I paved the machine and went back to Debian stable. Once every week it would hard lock. Paved the system and went to Ubuntu, same hard locks. Swapped out memory with KNOWN GOOD 64 GB ECC memory from another server, that was running 1+ year straight with no reboot. Changed SSDs to KNOWN GOOD SSDs. Same hard lock ups about once a week. Support just keeps sending me beta BIOSes. I flashed one. Paved the system and went back to W2K12R2. Seemed fairly stable for about 3 weeks - and now the hard locks are happening again. Then they become common, every few days. RMA #2... Board #3 (RMA product, "personally tested and stable for 1 week" the support rep said): Better than #2, the board is fairly stable. But as I am writing this, it still hard-locks after several weeks, or every other month. There are no Windows blue screen dumps to examine - remember, these are all HARD LOCKUPs. Even under Linux. Even tried no Supermicro drivers and just use Windows drivers. Hard lockups. Tried the Windows drivers. Hard lockups. Linux Debian and Ubuntu, hard lockups. I give up... DO NOT BUY THIS BOARD.

Overall Review: I came back to re-write my previous 1-egg review after 2 RMAs and dozens of Supermicro support tickets. First, Supermicro Technical Support is really good. I used pure email and they were always very responsive within 4 to 8 hours, even in the middle of the day here in there US where support was mostly overseas. A+ Second, other Supermicro motherboards I have had over the last 20 years are perfectly stable. This "version" is not. Overall: It was a very hard decision between this board and the X10DAL (the X10DAL allows for all three x16 GPU slots to be used with a single CPU - and has room for 1 additional x8 connected to the PCH!). I disable IPMI due to it's hackable/laughable security. I went with SuperMicro for their reputation for stability. This product has completely let me down and I advise against it.

Pros: - My Nikon D750 doesn't know any difference of the batteries - The charger will charge genuine Nikon batteries as well! - The charger uses standard micro-usb, like the dozens you have lying around the house.

Cons: The plug/socket wasn't the clearest in how to open.

Overall Review: The only thing i can nick-pick about is that the "fold-out" plug was not intuitive at all. Me and 2 others after like 20 minutes was about ready to return it - or break out a knife and slice it open to get the plug out. Only to finally figure out by sliding the thing sideways! It seemed much much harder than it should have. Maybe they could add an arrow pointing in the direction to move the release clip or something. Or a sticker showing the illustration.

Pros: - Fast - Reliable (so far!)

Cons: - A bit expensive; however, if you want something that works you gotta pay for it.

Overall Review: Using two of these in my new Nikon D750 currently configured as "Mirror/Backup" so the images and videos are written to both cards at the same time. The camera performs 100% to specs, and I've max out that bust-mode buffer plenty of times to know! The cards are 100% transparent to me and function exactly as describe. I absolutely would recommend, and buy again!

Pros: - GoPro Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session no longer error on 240fps

Cons: - Expensive. Should be 1/2 the price.

Pros: - GoPro Hero5 Black and Hero5 session no longer give errors at 240 fps

Cons: - Expensive, these should be 50% of price this day in 2017.

Do not do business with this reseller. Multiple attempts to contact asking why it has taken over 2 weeks, and the tracking number showing no information. I eventually opened a "Claim" against them with NewEgg; which after reviewing for over a week, eventually refunded the full amount. Still no contact. I partially blame NewEgg for the influx of these Chinese dealers and really wish I could filter them out for all searches all the time (instead of having to remember to click the filter manually).

The Hero5 battery I received, in November 2017, was dated June 2016!!! Most likely all new batteries received went out to customers as soon as they bought it. They must be running the stock low now, and I am getting literally "the bottom of the barrel" stock. Also, it may be their supplier, but the battery label and text does not match OEM batteries from GoPro. Mostly likely a rebranded version of the battery, which the vendor's source is to blame - instead of the Vendor going direct to GoPro? (trying to save a few bucks?) They did ship quickly though, I'll give them that.
