Good, cheap, works
Pros: It takes up 1/2 the width of a tape ide cable. makes the board look alot cleaner too. Good if you're using older ide drives
Cons: This is not for mid tower cases, it's for full tower ones. I shoulda gotten the 18" but went longer to be safe
Overall Review: Cheap, wish the shipping wasnt 2x as much as the item though. Still newegg rocks in shipping
Still prayin for the SP1
Pros: Besides being the only OS that will let you play on Windows Live, the only good thing is you it takes off the RAM limitation. So i can run 16GB DDR800 (drools) on my mboard. Of course XP 64 also has that....
Cons: Vista is terrible. I finally figured out how to turn off all the user notifications. "Are you sure you want to install this game?" YEAH! Thats why i bought it! Are you sure you want to go to this website? YEAH. It also wont let you run certain progs that access your hardware. PC Wizard can't access the GPU information because Vista thinks it's bad.
Overall Review: I bought this cuz it was a 64bit OS that was cheap, and this way i won't have to buy vista later. Plus, if you want to pay OEM price for XP, you gotta buy a bunch of extra stuff. I'm just upgrading so this was my choice. I used to think that Mac commercial with the social security guard wasn't true. I'm mad they were right for once.
Good board, but can get hot. RMA stinks
Pros: Supports bulldozer, gbyte.
Cons: Like alot of people here, I had the NB on this mobo literally burn. Sent it to GBYTE, they said it was fine and sent back the same burnt board. Had to send again, luckily they paid this shipping this time, and they sent me a new one. No OC, in a well ventilated modular PSU Antec 900. Also no eufi bios.
This stuff is junk
Pros: Cheap, but for a reason
Cons: I bought this at a big box and it is almost a putty it's so thick. I ended up getting rid of it and using the tiny bit that came with my fan until I get good thermal grease in the mail.
Overall Review: Pay the extra 5 bucks and get the good popular stuff. I only bought this because I was in a pinch and i'm going to reapply the grease when the good stuff comes in.
Works great
Pros: Great product. Good deal for 14.99 considering it comes with an AC plug
Cons: Nothing, it's a hub

Bought two of these
Pros: I could either buy one GTX 570/80 for about 300 or 2 of these for a little less. I definitely went the right route. Works great on my ASRock board. I was going to go ATI for Eyefinity but Nvidia can do the same with 3d surround. When I bought this card at a retailer, I didnt even know it was a custoemr choice winner. Now I know why. I'm also glad I waited 6 months because the 550's used to be twice this much. Thank you 580 and 590's!
Cons: No mini HDMI adapter in the box.
Overall Review: I will definately get more performance when I upgrade to a x16 x16 board instead of my x8 x8. I got a Windows performance score of 7.3 for Aero and Gaming. Up from 6.4 for my old GTX 260.
