Pros: What isn't to like about this board? Great build, awesome features...just has everything you could need (and should expect) from a motherboard like this. Has plentiful ports on the back, more USB than I know what to do with. Plenty of ports on the inside from SATA3, mini-PCI Express, mSATA, front panel pins, etc...truly has everything a normal sized motherboard has minus the size (and a few extra expansion slots, but...). Overclocking is SUPER simple and just as easy and carefree as my high-end Z68 ATX motherboard. BIOS is easy to use and very extensive. Truly an enthusiast class motherboard! Other than that it just works too. I've had zero issues to speak of. Just as good as that OTHER Z77 enthusiast Mini-ITX motherboard that costs 5-6 Hamiltons more... Asrock, thank you for such a wonderful product!

Cons: None. I mean this literally. From the hardware itself to the actual software supplied this motherboard is 100% solid, stable, and awesome all around. Could not be any more satisfied...just not possible. Well, I guess one con would be that its too perfect :-P

Overall Review: System Specs: Asrock Z77E-ITX 2500k @ 4.5Ghz with Corsair H70 dual 120mm fan Gigabyte GTX 580 WindForce @ 975Mhz GEIL 2x4GB DDR3-1866Mhz 2x60GB SSD Mushkin Chronos 1x1.5TB Seagate HDD Panasonic BD+RW/DVD+RW SilverStone SG08 Case with 600watt Power Supply 100% Load Temps (average after 6 hours - 72F Ambient): CPU: 65C GPU: 69C Over all extremely happy with my build, especially the size and speed. COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT have built this had it not been for the high-end features and overclockability of the Asrock Z77E-ITX motherboard! Truly a great piece of hardware and has definitely made me a fan of Asrock (this and the 4CoreDual-SATA2 I owned)!

Pros: Decent stand/base...strong and easily adjustable. Built in USB hub. That's about it as far as pros go. 1 star earned.

Cons: Horrible picture quality. Much worse than some of the cheaper monitors I've used. Very muted colors...none of them pop or look good. Contrast ratio/black levels are non-existent...definitely not for movie watching or playing games. Black appears to be a more dark, light bleeding purple than anything. Viewing angles? What viewing angles? Seriously though, anything other than viewing it head on dead center produces a bad picture. However, it DOES work and could possibly be decent for maybe office work? It is not recommended though that you subject your employees, friends, or family to this monitor. Monitor works as in it produces an image. 1 star.

Overall Review: Over all I'm only giving it two stars. One because the stand is nice and the USB hub is a nice addition. Second star is because the monitor actually works. Three stars deducted from 5 star rating due to picture quality.

Pros: Where to start? - Fastest single GPU on the market (besides Titan, which for $1000 doesn't count :-p) - Great cooling - Very VERY quiet (even at 100%) - Very fast - Awesome overclocks! (YMMV of course) - Even minor overclocks dramatically improve performance

Cons: Nothing negative to say about the actual hardware. AMD's drivers are getting better by the day but I have had a few issues here and there with a couple games that I didn't with my old Nvidia GTX 580. Nothing in particular, just, if Nvidia were 100% I'd say AMD is like 90-95% when it comes to drivers. Another negative, which is true with all the 7970 GPU's and not just this card is that overclocks are very temperamental based on the temperature. My overclocks (1200/1800) are rock solid stable below 70C. Once I hit 71-72C though the card crashes. So no problems as long as your card stays cool (which it will with the awesome Dual-X cooler) it's just something I've noticed. My GTX 580 didn't care about temps when it came to overclocking. AAs long as the 580 didn't reach like 90-100C the overclock was ALWAYS stable. Don't really know why the 7970's are like this, but they are. Just some things to keep in mind. Nothing really a negative per se, just thought them worthy of being pointed out. Definitely hella-happy with my 7970 though and wouldn't trade it for anything!

Overall Review: Have it overclocked to 1200mhz on the core at 1.225v and 1800mhz on the RAM. All while running MAX at 65-68C. 100% fan speed to support this speed but the fans are SO quiet, especially compared to the stock reference cooler on my other 7970. Night and day difference. To touch up on one of my positive points though is the frames per second boost overclocking brings. From stock speeds (950mhz) to even a modest (should be achievable with any 7970 Dual-X) 1100mhz my frame rates jump from like ~60 frames per second to like ~75 frames per second. Even my GTX 580 overclocked something like 200mhz+ on the core never brought such dramatic differences like this. Truly is amazing in every sense. Well that's about it. I'd say if you are looking for 7970 this is the one to get. Spectacular cooling, great price, and more importantly amazing game performance! With a 7970 you can literally run anything!

Pros: GREAT FOR GAMING - Nice colors, contrast, and brightness High gloss screen makes colors pop and look very vibrant DVI input Decent build quality in an attractive, high-class looking case OSD is very intuitive and easy to use with lots of options and adjustments to make the picture perfect Speakers are decent sounding...not that great but not that bad considering they are built in...better than laptop speakers for sure

Cons: VERY POOR VIEWING ANGLES! Picture distorted if not looking at the monitor almost STRAIGHT-ON, at least as far as the white levels are concerned. Colors are a different story, but still written by the same author if catch my drift. HDMI input would have been nice but not necessary Although good enough, the base is still kind of wobbly and doesn't feel like...quality

Overall Review: Overall the monitor is AWESOME for gaming and movie watching...my primary uses. Games like Mirror's Edge and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. look amazing and the colors are all very accurate and true to life. Response rate is high enough to not have any studder while gaming or movie watching. Definitely WORTH THE MONEY! However, don't expect to be able to watch a movie with a couple of other people as the viewing angles are slim to none. If you are going to mainly be using it by yourself and can place the monitor directly in front of you then you will be happy by the picture quality. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and HIGHLY recommend this to any gamer or movie go-er!

Pros: Awesome board for us too cheap or broke to give up our old hardware. Had a AMD 3200+, 1GB PC4000 RAM, and a fast X1950Pro AGP. Was a decent system and could play games like Bioshock and F.E.A.R. but started getting slow playing high end games like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3. I knew I needed a new CPU but my socket 754 board has no support so I picked this board up cause I could keep my video card and DDR1 RAM but use the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU's. Was able to overclock my Intel E2200 Core 2 Duo from 2.2ghz per core to 2.9ghz with my XP-90 air cooler on this board. Can't go over with stable result...either the board or my CPU, who knows. But now most of my games run twice as fast if not faster. Dual core really helps with the physics and A.I. in games. Video encoding has increased more than 60% in speed. Was able to hold on to my old DDR1 till I got some new and cheap DDR2. Um...intergrated HD audio, 2 IDE slots (becoming a rarity), SATA 3.0gb support, AGP and PCI-e.

Cons: Not much. Wish it had more USB slots...four is too little. More than 2 SATA slots would've been nice as well. No 1000mb ethernet. More overclocking friendly BIOS...but a 700mhz overclock for me is still pretty decent considering I can get my 85 dollar processor to run faster than my buddies 250 dollar Intel E6600! Oh, support for more than 2GB of RAM would've been nice...its so cheap nowadays 4GB is impossible to say no too as well as impossible on this motherboard. That is all for me.

Overall Review: Like I said...it gets the job done and done quite nicely. I now have a system that I can hold onto for a couple more years.

Pros: Good picture quality Excellent desktop performance Cheap with lots of buffer RAM!

Cons: Not the best for gaming (but this is obvious, no stars reduced) It would have been nice to see some active cooling...but the passive works moderately well

Overall Review: This is an excellent card for average use in desktops that are going for more average use by average users...gamers need not apply. It can play a mean game of Counter Strike Source, but thats about it unless you are talking about games made before 2004. And the 512mb of RAM is a purchasing ploy...its obvious that the X1300 core is incapable of playing any sort of game that even requires 256mb of RAM...
