Pros: Excellent performer especially for its small size. Runs just a tad better then the 6950 I had a few months back. Idles at 30C and Played BF3 on High 60+fps at 63C max.

Cons: Had to R.M.A. Strange fuzzy screen after boot up between the bios option and windows logo 100% of the time. Also, locks up after 1 hour of use, sometimes instantly after windows logo. Cooler was loose from the start and the board had a slight warp to it. All errors occurred without touching overclock options.

Overall Review: i5-2500k w/212+ Asrock Z68 Pro3-M Seasonic X650 8gig G.Skill 1600mhz

Pros: Looks nice

Cons: Didn't last long

Overall Review: Ultimately the issue I have is the device came without a retail box. That's not a big deal to me as it worked initially for about a week. I went on vacation and came back to see that it would no longer function. I return the item to have it denied for a refund/replacement. I call and state my case that there was no retail box. The first person sad they'd put it though and made it sound like the return wouldn't be an issue. A few business days go by and no resolution so I call again only to get the same response, different person. Still no resolution I call a few business days later again and this time they state they cannot do anything about without the retail box. Over the last 5 years I've spent 5k to 10k at newegg. Sure I've had to return some items do to malfunctions but this is my word against theirs ultimately. I have no reason to lie about something this petty and they can keep the drive. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Pros: Great optical sensor (Avago 3320), light weight without feeling Razer cheap, good DPI on the fly location without accidental button presses, and aesthetically nice without looking too gamey. The Xornet II also has software that allows for firmware updates. Within this software you can change the color of the mouse wheel dependent on the DPI used, you can change the button latency as well as the specific DPI associated with the 3 on-the-fly profiles.

Cons: You must plug the mouse into a USB 2.0 port in order for the software to function properly. Especially when performing a firmware update! If you use a USB 3.0 port and perform a firmware update here's what happens. Your mouse-wheel will blink red and the wheel itself will be useless. The software will also ask you to plug in the mouse every time you load said software. Simply unplugging and plugging the mouse back into USB 3.0 port or any other port for that matter will not fix the software asking you to plug the mouse in. Do not worry, you did not brick your mouse. Just plug the mouse into a USB 2.0 port, reboot and load the software again. Continue with the firmware update and everything from here on out will work as intended.

Overall Review: Mice are subjective so whichever one works for you, works for you. I have large hands and can palm a basketball (barely). With that said you'd think this mouse would be too small, but for me it's perfect. I've been PC gaming for a very long time and my recent experience over the last 5 years are these few notable mice... Deathadder of several variations, Xornet original, Logitech G303 (great mouse) and the M65 PRO (too heavy and clunky).

Pros: Great board with overclocking features necessary to get the job done as good as anything else your above average Joe could possible need.

Cons: CHRISTIAN R. is 100% correct with his issues as I experienced this just the same. ASRocks reply to his review that this is not an issue with installing W8/8.1 is also correct and thank goodness I had a copy of that on hand too.

Overall Review: I'd rather have USB 2.0 ports on the back instead of PS/2. Just make sure you plan ahead as this is something that can be easily overlooked.

Pros: This looks nice and has bolt-on heatsinks. The Soundblaster audio could be very nice.

Cons: Every Bios from F2, F3 and the beta Bios F4e is flaky at best. Forget setting XMP 9 out of 10 times. Don't power it down/put it to sleep either or be prepared to troubleshoot. This is with optimized defaults. After fiddling about for 10+ hours, if you set the PCI-e lane to gen 2 it seems to work well enough as if this were a beta bios. But, the jury is out on this yet. I went back to F3 bios because the beta didn't change anything over the latest "certified" bios. Then there is the realtek audio drivers combined with the Soundblaster driver/software. What a headache. Just when I get things working correctly, I get "does not recognize audio device" garbage. Following the directions per Gigabytes site is correct (install Realtek first, reboot then install Soundblaster software) but that's only half the battle. There are a few settings within windows that you'll have to sort out before this is stable too and not giving you incompatibility messages every time you boot up. Also, 2 fan headers is lousy but I knew this going in. However, I did not see this one coming...the USB 3.0 port on the board is extremely close to the pci-e lane. Now the plug itself pushes on the back of the GPU putting unnecessary stress on the pci-e lane. All of the other Z97 itx boards have their plugs a bit farther away. I'll remember this for next time.

Overall Review: This build is using an i3 4160, GTX 960 G.1, 2 x 4 G.skill 1600 mhz ram and a Seasonic X650 psu. My 2 egg rating is generous and only shows my desire to badly want this board to work. I like what it could ultimately offer if it worked like it should. But as of right now, stay away and if you're considering this board, send me a message. I'm on OCN with the same user name I use to review this board. Feel free to check my experience level on OCN too. I know my way around all of this hardware. You can do this Gigabyte! Put down your smartphone, get off of facebook and get to work. I have faith in you :)

Pros: The all-in-one closed/open hybrid loop this great to look at, offers easy expansion into further cooling options and keeps your CPU as cool as the best AIO coolers while looking better doing it.

Cons: The CPU block cracked in shipping. So a quick message to Raijintek on their facebook page, a few short emails and a few days later...I had my new replacement part and I was good to go.

Overall Review: Raijintek is a stand up company that has made an excellent product and stands behind it. Their fast communication and speedy service has won my two thumbs up. I'm a big part of some very high traffic computer forums and when a company makes things right the way they did, I make sure the right people know about it.

Excellent and simple solution for $169 (sale price). Very well packaged and above average instructions too. I have these connected to a Yamaha V381BL. Under $400 for a nice 5.1 solution suites us just fine. After having these for a few weeks I wouldn't feel bad paying up towards $250 now that I know what they sound like.
