Pros: Amazing increase in graphic performance with this processor- on Source SDK base went from 160fps(HL2LC) to 225fps with a 9800GTX. Old rating was from a 9950BE. Didnt know the old AMD processors and my Intel 9400 Quad (170fps, same test) bottlenecked the 9800GTX to that extent. Currently have it modestly overclocked to 3.3 using the asus bios release 0802- had to start the upgrade with the 9950 and update the bios, then install the 940- thanks to Newgg forums I knew to do that first and did not find out the hard way. Runs at 29c idle on stock cooler.

Cons: Zero, zip, nada.

Overall Review: Total steal at $229- not a computer expert, but have built and upgraded several systems. 6mb L3 is exactly what AMD needed to close the gap with Intel. Have read the comparisons between each company's 940 chips, but the differences in performance are mostly on benchmarks that do not affect me. Amazing gaming for the money- max out the details and GO!

Pros: Great looking case with included power supply. Used it to build system for a friend with modest computing needs.

Cons: Oh my, where do I start! For one there was no manual explaining the correct method to install drives. Only stickers on the inside with little pictures that were hard to see (yes, with glasses on) and were backward! Just try installing a card reader drive per the picture- aint happening. Just used the screws included with the optical drive to put that one in. Tool less my eye!

Pros: Card is fantastic for money. Great frame rates with maxed settings on most games.

Cons: The free games provided by NVIDIA via Ubi Soft are impossible to activate. No disrespect to NVIDIA- everything works fine (codes) on their end. Just try to activate the games on Uplay- total fail on Ubisoft's part. Why can't they be activated on a good gaming platform, like Steam?

Overall Review: Was looking forward to playing Assassins Creed Blacklist but Ubi's service is only slightly worse than their Uplay.

Pros: Bios navigable by mouse! AI suite software monitors temps on 10 different areas of boards, SLI available on AMD board (finally) in addition to crossfire, 5 year warranty vs. normal 3, board can control fans depending on loads or you can do it yourself, and on and on.

Cons: Board tried to automatically over-clock my 8150 to 4.6 Ghz, 1 ghz over stock speed when I used the automatic intelligent over-clock feature in the killer bios. I chickened out on it and reduced it manually to 3.9. With my Zalman 9900, the cpu idles at 28C and maxes at 42C. Definitely use an aftermarket cooler if you plan on overclocking- Temps with stock fan were 35C idle and 61C maxed at stock speed (3.6ghz) which left no room to play with the board. Not really a con, just the facts.

Overall Review: Love this board. Future-proofed with USB 3.0, Sata 6.0. Can monitor heat levels on entire board with the AI suite software included. If you go with 2 way SLI like I did, both cards run at 16. Durability- the board slid off the desk before I started building with no ill effects. Careful with the automatic over-clocking- the board thinks its Superman and jacks it up pretty high.

Pros: Bang for the buck. Equal to my 9800GTX that died-except for the DX 11 capabilities of this card. Better Windows Experience rating and 3dmark score. FPS same on Source Engine. Quiet too.

Cons: None

Overall Review: May get another when its in stock again and give SLI a try. If not, will be an inexpensive upgrade for my kids' FX desktop.

Pros: Nice, customizable in both speed and weight.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Am on my 2nd one- first one lasted around 2 years and got this one for 30 bucks after rebate. What a steal!
