Pros: I wasn't really looking for a gaming keyboard, although I am sure this thing would work well for that. I was just looking for a nice keyboard as I bought a few cheap ones in the past and was getting annoyed with them. This one is definatly good quality and I really like the feel when pressing the keys compared with other keyboards.

Cons: None for what I use it for.

Pros: Lots of expensive hardware. I never really cared much about having the best capacitors, mosfets, etcetera, but this thing has them. I have overclocked my 4960k to 4.6 Ghz for normal usage and feel that this thing has the adequate components to supply the power needed. I like how many USB 3.0 ports are available, the fact that it has a built in wireless adapter, and it looks pretty cool. The stock software that comes with it for overclocking is so/ so and I think the bios interface is pretty crummy, but the MSI extreme tuning utility is good, and all I need to play around with my overclock settings and compare my results overclocking performance results against others.

Cons: So far I have had a few issues with this board. One being that sometimes when restarting, I will get an AC90 code, and an infinite reboot loop. It can only be resolved by unplugging all devices from the USB 3.0 headers and then restarting. After that I can plug them in. Not something you should see from a high end board, but I am assuming this thing is still on heavy discount. I don't like the bios interface very much, it is confusing and doesn't explain how to manually change any of the overclock multipliers. The overclock genie gave me an overclock to 4 Ghz, and the second stage overclock gave me an overclock to 4.2Ghz, which in my mind is pretty pathetic. 4.2 Ghz is only 8% over stock for a 4690k.

Pros: It is an R9 290 at a pretty great price. I bought the same card last year for 400$ more than I just paid.

Cons: Runs hot, and the fans on the cooler wirr up like turbines when the card is only running at about 60% gpu utilization with temps up in the low 80s Celsius. Right now there is a metal on metal vibration noise coming from my rig that stops if I grab the metal cage of this video card. The gigabyte bios upgrade utility fails gives me a "Bios Version not match!" error when I try to upgrade the bios as described by another NewEgg Commenter. I am getting screen tears during normal desktop usage.

Overall Review: If I can get the bios updated on this card and get the screen tearing, vibrations, and high operating temperature issues worked out, I expect I will be very happy with this. However, this is not a card to plug in and go with no issues.

Pros: Cools better than stock. Not sure how quiet it typically is. I had an extra 120mm fan that I put on as a puller to the heatsink. The fans make a louder noise than my old heatsink.

Cons: Price is a little high. Fan a little loud (note there is another fan that did not come with the water cooler that may be the source of the increasing noise.)

Overall Review: I installed this to keep my Fx-8350 cool because I was getting freezing up on my computer. When I installed this cooler, I continued to get freeze ups even though my cpu temps were significantly cooler. For instance my current CPUID temps are, CPUTIN 37C, AUXTIN 81C, and FX-8350 package 16C. I think the actual core temp is 16C. I think the AUXTIN is the VRMs. Long story short, the freeze ups seem to be due to the VRM's on my 970 Motherboard overheating.

Pros: All copper

Cons: doesn't fit an FX CPU. The edges of the die of and AMD FX-XXXX CPU stick out underneath the small footprint of this heatsink. It does work as a heatsink, but not as well as a 3 year old heat sink that I bought that had a weathered surface. I would recommend against this cooler for AMD FX Cpu's.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Won't display PC via HDMI. I plugged in my computer to the TV via an HDMI cable, messed around for a few hours trying to get it to detect the PC, and nada. The TV doesn't appear to connect to the PC via the HDMI ports. Tried switching the cable between the three different HDMI ports with no luck.
