Pros: These speakers sound really good for a 2.1 surround system... I have the subwoofer on the floor by the desk and when cranked up, not only is the bass crisp and clear, every note pushes enough air from the port that I feel it blast my legs.

Cons: The speaker wires are thin and aren't modular... They are long enough for any desk setup though.

Overall Review: I have had these since 2011 and am just now writing this review. Why? Because they still work and sound just as good as the day i unboxed them. My cat has knocked them off of my desk several times (about a 4 foot drop)... and I have never had any issues whatsoever. They are scuffed, scratched, the subwoofer box is chipped... They just work.

Pros: Everything seems to work fine (but see the cons below).

Cons: I have a weird memory problem when I try to use 4 sticks of ram. It just will not post at all. I have 4 sticks of G-Skill FlareX5 memory that all use the same EXPO settings. If I use 32 GB (16X2), everything works fine... But once I add the other 32 GB, I get no picture at all and no way to get into the bios. I wanted to run 64 GB. I don't know if it's a bios issue or hardware. I had all 4 sticks running in another system with the same processor and m.2 drive, video card, etc. The only thing that is different is the motherboard.

Overall Review: I can't recommend the X870E Aorus Pro motherboard right now. It seems stable with the 32GB memory, but I can only use 2 of the 4 slots. Maybe a bios update will fix the issue. I just don't know if I should tear everything down and send the board back at this point.

Pros: Works great with the PS5. Easy to install and was recognized right away. Only $99.

Cons: It's only 1TB... Not a fault of the drive itself, but I'll probably have it filled up soon.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to other people who want a quick and easy upgrade to their PS5 systems.

Pros: Everything seems to work fine.

Cons: Since the IO shield is attached to the motherboard, it was difficult to get the standoffs aligned. I have a Fractal Design Define S case, so motherboard installation is usually a breeze. Also, I don't know if this was an open box because there was no manual in the box.

Overall Review: I would recommend this product.

Pros: These fans move air. They are big and were also cheap for a 140mm fan. 9-blade move quite a bit of air - maybe a lower RPM motor would've worked.

Cons: I have not done anything to measure CSF or anything, but these fans move the air. I have tried adjusting the PWM settings in the bios, but they are quite audible even in silent mode. Manual tweaking didn't really help either. The rubber grommets did little to curb the noise on these particular fans.

Overall Review: I think that this is a good product that may need a lower speed to get the noise to diminish a little more. Also, make the grommets slightly longer so that when bolted to the case, there's more compressed rubber. I would buy these again.

Pros: The feature set of this motherboard was exactly what I needed. I was using an older Micro ATX case, but because of the newer chipset, everything else was bought brand new for this build.

Cons: The new GTX 960 video card seemed to flicker randomly... So I took it out and re-sat it in the slot and it seemed to clear up (this correction happened at about the same time I updated the BIOS, so I cannot be totally sure what fixed my issue). Also, I found the heat sink on the heat pipe to be pretty loose. It didn't fall off or anything, I was just very cautious when working around it... It seems to be working fine.

Overall Review: I wish that that heat sink was mounted a little sturdier. Other than that, I have no real issues with this board. The video card issue may have been something that I caused... And if it wasn't, Gigabyte fixed it in the BIOS update.
