Pros: Great Intel board. After install, updated the BIOS to newest release and I have had no problems. Board seems to be very solid. I am not into oc'd but I did take my 3930K to 4.0 w/out any effort.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I did get this board for $80.00 less on special from another place. I don't understand people knocking a board because the card slots are too close etc. If you don't like the features, buy another board. Don't rate an item down for specs you knew about before buying. If running SLI/ Crossfire, slots are next to each other, but so are the slots on other boards. The same with the number of SATA or USB connections. There aren't as many SATA connections as some boards, but would it make sense for Intel to put someone elses SATA contoller on their board to increase the number? Either do your homework before buying, or don't buy.

Pros: My standard monitors are DELL 24" Ultrasharps, and that is what my comparison is based on. First the Acer can be nice and sharp and the letters are crisp, But this was after hours.. and I mean hours of messing with settings (see below). It also does not approach the picture quality of the DELL monitors. I also have an Asus 22" and the Acer does however smoke the Asus for color and clarity. The 3D is pretty amazing and it does add a new dimension to gaming. I briefly tried Dead Rising 2, Just Cause 2 and Borderlands and they were all pretty awesome. It did bother my eyes after a while, but that seemed to be the glasses and not the monitor. My son used it with the above games and he really enjoyed it without the eyestrain I had. The same games did look great in 2D also. For info its hooked to a GTX580 with no visble lag in 3D.

Cons: 3 eggs for the backlighting, viewing angle and height adjustment. Again, compared to the DELL Ultrasharps the Acer in these areas is subpar. This monitor also had me cursing for hours, trying to set it up to display colors and brightness properly. As others have said by default it is set very bright for 3D gaming purposes. Everytime I get it adjusted and reboot it looses my display settings and goes all the way to bright. I messed with Nvidia, Windows 7 and Acer control panels for days and finally have it staying on my selected settings at least for the last couple of reboots now. This is probably some kind of driver thing, but VERY annoying. It is my understanding it should default to highest settings during a 3D game and revert back to user settings automatically after the game is exited?

Overall Review: For primarily a 3D gaming monitor I think this seems to be pretty good. I am not sure however on programs like Photoshop, because of the issue of defaulting to the brightest setting everytime I reboot. I am sure this is some kind of driver issue, it doesn't make sense to have a monitor you can't keep user adjusted settings on. (By the way it resets itself to full brigthness wether 3D is turned on or off.) For a gaming monitor I will recommend this, but for others programs like photo editing I am a little undecided and will probably stick with my DELL's.

Pros: Use this ink to print photo's, great quality and price.

Cons: None.

Pros: Nice looking card, already comes with a back plate. Does run quiet. Upgraded from a GTX690 with the following scores on 3DMARK Fire Strike Extreme 4k setting: GTX 690- Overall score 1001, Graphics 827, Combined 1220. GTX980Ti- Overall score 4343, Graphics 4259, Combined 2238. This card pretty much smoked the 690.

Cons: MSI- Why is this the only card that currently does not offer a free game like all the rest. How stupid is that? For being the most pricey you could have at least offered the same promotion with this card.

Overall Review: Needless to say this thing does dump the heat in your case, will use it to heat my 14' x 14' gaming room this winter.

Pros: None

Cons: Hooked up cable and no signal to the monitor. Tried different ports on the video card and monitor, still no signal. Tried another cable and everything works fine. Apparently I got a bad cable.

Overall Review: I guess buying these is like going to a casino, its the roll of the dice if you get a good one or bad one.

Pros: This is a follow up to my earlier review. When I purchased my board it did not come with the Power Saver HDD Cable. While I did not remove any eggs for this, it did give me a chance to try ASRock's customer service. After contacting them I initially received a very fast email response and the Tech suggested I contact Newegg to obtain the missing cable. I contacted Newegg and as always their support was top notch. They did not have a cable but offered me several options including to RMA the board or compensate me if I located one from another source. I felt it was extreme to return the board so I contacted ASRock again. Within a day "Stephanie" responded and requested a copy of my original invoice and shipping address. Several days later I received a replacement for the missing cable in the mail. Excellent service and thank you Stephanie!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great to see they have very responsive customer service and they stand by their products!!

Excellent customer service, lightning shipping.
