Pros: Very fast, extremely overclockable in Afterburner. Runs VERY cool compared to my other reference card, the GTX 470

Cons: I'm giving this card a full 5 stars since it serves its intended purpose very well. However, if you are going to WATERCOOL this, or any other eVGA reference (maybe even non-reference) cards, please be aware that some of the cards are being made without a chip cap, (heat spreader) so any aftermarket coolers will not fit due to a 1mil+ difference in GPU chip height. Your TIM won't even touch the processor. There is NO way to know which card you have for sure unless you remove the heat sink. So do yourself a favor if you buy and intend to watercool, remove just the plastic cover with the side screws and then the 4 spring screws on the back. this will let you take the GPU sink off without disturbing the ram and vrm plate and thermal pads

Overall Review: At this time, eVGA is accepting RMAs on the cards without heatspreaders, if you need one. Just register your card, make a detailed RMA request, and provide them with the information that they ask for. For me, they are even going to pay for the shipping.

Pros: So I have always been a Gigabyte fan, this board has great features including the 12 phase vrm for overclocking. When it worked, it work great. Love the black on black colors.

Cons: After I got the Boot loop (which was at random after only a few hours of some gameplay and benchmarking the new build) I started an RMA asap and paid to ship it back. It was only then that I started researching the GB bootloop issues with the new P67 and Z68 boards. Newegg policy states no refunds, but I really didn't want to me stuck with a board that might fail soon. I was able to get someone to change it to a refund RMA right as the package arrived to them.

Overall Review: It IS a great board, the ONLY issue being reported on this board seems to be the bootloop issue, and before it blowed up on me, it worked great. I personally prefer the old bios style so no UEFI is ok. I just wish GB had givin me a reason to stay with them but now I'm running an ASUS and I am amazed. So much nicer If you don't get a boot looper, you will have a fantastic board so maybe another recision is in order.

Pros: Super fast, 2 in RAID0 as fast as second generation SSDs. Quieter than I remember my 36.4 and 74.6 drives being.

Cons: I have 3 of these. 1 of the 3 has been detected with errors and stops booting 2 out of 3 attempts. It's in RAID0 with a second drive. I can reset status with Intel's software and be able to boot again for a while, but it comes back. Software says it has 8 bad sectors... I've owned these since early November before the floods that gouged all the prices up. The other drive was doing a solo gig in another PC until 2 weeks ago when it developed a SMART event and will no longer boot. I put it in another PC and was able to get all the data off it except for one file. Drive won't format anymore, just freezes and still has SMART status.

Overall Review: So like I said, 1 out of 3 aint bad... which isn't so. It's terrible, in fact. I have 4- 74gb Raptors that were recovered from a recycling event, in a box, bouncing and banging around and were tossed in a bucket. I rescued them a year ago and they are still running strong in a RAID1+0. Sad really.

Pros: High air flow, can be quiet with a fan controller, mounting points for LEDs if you want to mod them, onboard H/M/L switch.

Cons: They are loud are full tilt, they vibrate a bit so use rubber mounts... make sure to get your own LONG rubber mounts. These fans come with a set of rubber mounts but they are design for an open chassis fan. These fans are closed chassis so they do no good.

Overall Review: I have used these in two builds now and I like them a lot. No lights, no chrome, but the white blades do grab up any existing case lighting you may have.

Pros: It looks great, functions very well, I've been using it in both eSATA and USB mode before. I currently have it set up for RAID-1 for full redundancy and it works just fine. Had it for over a year with two WD 1TB Caviar Black drives in it, runs perfectly. I give it a 5 because it has kept my photos and home videos very safe, which means a lot to me because I have had some serious scares with single drives in the past.

Cons: If you don't turn the fan all the way up, it can get really hot with 7200RPM full thickness drives in there. I got down there to look at it once and the caseing was too hot to touch. I turned it off and pulled the drives out to get them cooled off and nearly burned myself. Keep that fan on full for sure. No website documentation, just the booklet with some corrections on a separate sheet. Don't lose those.

Overall Review: Some people may have problems trying to use eSATA with two drives setup as two separate volumes (no raid of any kind, or BIG mode.) If you want to set it up like this, you need to make sure your motherboard supports port multiplier. You can still have it that way, but you will have to use USB instead.

Pros: That is an awesome case.

Cons: I'm curious to know how they can have 8 gigs running in 3 channel on this.. As I understood it, you have to have same size sticks in sets of 3 or 6.. ie.. 3gb, 6gb, 12 gb.. maybe even 9gb is you did 3 sticks of 1gb and 3 of 2gb... If I'm wrong, I am always willing to be enlightened

Overall Review: It's strange how many manufacturers will sell a PC that is gimped by small goof ups like this. Like another brand sells the most PCs who really enjoys selling PCs with 3gb on a dual channel board..
