Pros: Motherboard has solid b75 for business use no overclocking. Bent pins on your CPU socket will make your ram slot not work. The memory controller is in the CPU, bend a pin ever so slightly and you kill it (I've done one myself and spent about 20 hours fixing all the pins)

Cons: Needs more usb 2.0 on the back

Pros: I have had Geils before and they worked well.........HOWEVER: I have three sets of Five of this model on my desk that can't pass memory test when run overnight. In each case one of the pair tested by itself fails and in multiple working motherboards. The working pairs that remain only work in none B75 boards!

Cons: Have not heard from Geil on the first pair I wanted to RMA. I now have three sts to RMA. We buy memory from other sources as well as newegg and have never experienced such poor customer response.

Overall Review: If you are buying for others (Repairs, builds & upgrades etc.) you cannot afford the time to retest replacements and wait for RMAs. This is such a waste of time and money. Quite frankly, if had heard from Geil on the first RMA request I would not be writing this review. Quality of product is explicitly linked to the quality of service!

Pros: It is very fast as a boot drive with plenty of storage.

Cons: NOT RELIABLE. This was a replacement RMA drive for one that failed hard during a data transfer from a 1.5TB drive it was replacing. The new replacement drive was working great for one day after the transfer and 8.1 fresh install on a B75 MOBO. Then for no reason it stopped booting, the data was there and usable if I wanted it as a second drive. I reloaded 8.1 using a different MOBO/chipset (Z77) believing it to be a compatibility issue. Unfortunately history repeated itself…this drive is defective! I will be returning it for a refund.

Overall Review: I find it hard to believe I got two defective drives in a row. This is a first. Rather than upgrading to a single 4TB drive I decided to do a two drive solution; a 240GB SSD and a Seagate 3TB. So far so good but I do have a uneasiness about the 3TB because it’s a Seagate. Too bad because up to now I always had a good experience with Seagates.

Pros: Intel 1155 Motherboards don't usually have integrated graphics (there is an ITX board with gt430). On 1155 the GPU is in the CPU, not in the motherboard chipset. The boards have the ports and wiring available, but lets say I drop in a 3350p well then there is no graphics available out of those ports. You would be required to put in a graphics card.

Cons: Asus loves making enthusiast boards, how about some just working boards like ASRock likes to do. SO many bios updates to make ASUS boards stable.

Pros: Inexpensive, Uefi, Decent Memory Support, Sandy Bridge

Cons: Front USB Ports only have 3.18V , Rear ports have 5.13 .. Fronts Dont work and rears do (Tested from Pins on mobo) Kinda sucks otherwise board was a champ. Did further testing and found the entire lower common 5v was at 3.18v. Something wasnt fully tested on this mobo or a bad solder joint.

Overall Review: Gotta get another one :/
