Most Critical Review

Broken & poor Support. (AVOID)

Mad Catz Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S. (Hands on Throttle and Stick) System for PC
Mad Catz Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S. (Hands on Throttle and Stick) System for PC

Pros: Looks nice and has ALOT of buttons.

Cons: Ungodly big base, oh yea .. and its broken and their support blows. Also Hat Switches are NOT SWITCHES they are 2x way buttons. When you go to FLIP THEM they just click and reset to middle AKA A button.. they are not Switches at all ...

Overall Review: I had this item set too remind me when newegg got them back ins tock. Building my cockpit w/ obutto r3volution. Got the stick in earlyer then I needed it.. was still working on get the rest of it set up, .. So it has set on the ground next to my obutto r3volution for a few months now. Have everything set up, my 3x screens, 2x 780 ti ect ect and Now elite dangerous. However when I start it up .. the ship keeps rolling right. After recalibrating a few times and reading ... I kind of notice that the Rudder (twist in the stick) has 2 points that it resets too. When you twist the stick it should pop back to 12:00 and recenter. However when you Twist right its like it Hangs coming back and sticks at 12:20 so you have a little lisp in your contorols .. you can then force it back to stick at 12:00 .. but thats a pain . Only happens when you turn right. I then open A support ticket sat night. Monday they send me A generic message about uninstalling and reinstalling the software and drivers... I am sure that I explained it was hardware issue the first time. However I do all these steps know this is not going too fix jack. After doing so, I reply to the email ... have not heard anything from them in more then 48hours ... I have to call them to issues A ram. So now I have too pay 30.00 in shipping to get this item fixxed that I have never even used and .. its going too take 2 weeks Cheaply made Product and poor support. Newegg should stop carring there items.

Mark my words " Their will be A recall on this board soon"

GIGABYTE X570 AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.2) AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570 ATX Motherboard
GIGABYTE X570 AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.2) AMD Ryzen 3000 PCIe 4.0 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.2 AMD X570 ATX Motherboard

Pros: Best VRM , nice looks

Cons: The Sound software is the worst ... but that is really minor. Google "Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master 07/D7 no post" Their is A huge amount of people who are getting this issue, It does not matter what type of RAM B-die, E-die, C-de or M-die, It does not matter if it is A 3700x,3800x or 3900x. This issue is plaguing people who have bought this board. Their are well over 20 different forum post , ea with many users all dealing with this issue. It real

Overall Review: Hands down the worst PC building experience in my life, Since 1998 (when I started). I have had more then my fair share of issues, building computers .... but this is on A different level. And gigabyte support is BAD. The over all issue, computer will work fine for A time ... However after A restart or shut down, the bios will be corrupted (unusable / un-bootable ) Clear CMOS will not work. However you can use Q-flash + to bring the system back up. For A time, because it will happen again. First board .. worked for 3 days , 4th day would not post , loops non stop .. never see splash screen. RMAed. 2nd Board worked for 1 day , 2nd day no post same issue as before. Howver noticed it does not make it past the DRAM led on MD. Returned Ram, orderd new ram that was on the QVL. Still no post. Switched 2nd bios worked for A day ... next day same issue, no post endless loop. (btw had updated to newest bios every chance I could) . googled issue, see other having it also ... see that you can Q-flash+ the bios to get it back up and running. Do so. Go threw and try every Bios and reset computer a few times to see if the issues happens again . it dose even with beta bios. Buy 3rd set of ram , still has issue. Try it without XMP .. still has issue. Call up gigabyte support, Go threw the issues and everything I have tried . At the end, she said it could only be motherboard or CPU, I remind-ed her, this was my 2nd board. She said it has to be CPU, RMA it .... However , I know others are having the same issue , with other CPUs .. but i dont see other board have this issue. That leave this board .

Not worth it

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: PLX chip (4 8x PCIe lanes ), really good on board soundcard and NIC killer and intel

Cons: 1) Sound issues. Sound will randomly become distorted and will force you to restart the computer. 2) Motherboard will randomly not boot. Sometimes when i turn on the computer, everything comes on (PSU. Fans, MB ) however MB just hangs and Screen will not turn on, The MB debug code will Hang at A0 and just sti their. 3) The worst of them all, Gigabyte support, they take forever to respond if they even do. 4) Wireless NIC takes up one of your PCIe slots. 5) sata express is uesless and dead , however this is not really gigabytes fought 6) no M.2

Overall Review: The main reason I got this MB was because it had A PLX chip and A good soundcard on board. However in the long run its not worth the things it is missing. Things I know now. 1) I want M.2 and not with A PCIe addpader. 2) I want wireless built into the IO and not As A PCIe slot (Uck) 3) 2x Types of NiCs are A nice extra , however you will not really use both. And the killer does not work with linux .

I own 3x of these

ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 1ms (GTG) 144Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Backlit LED NVIDIA 3D Gaming Monitor

Pros: This is Hands down the best Gaming monitor their is. And it has A epic price for everything it does. If you Game its worth every penny.

Cons: the bezel is kind of think .. if using more then one. 1) its not free 2) No G-sync (but that would make it cost 250 more) 3) their is not A 27in Verson

Overall Review: I Now own 3x of these attached to my Obutt R3Volution. If you Game this is A must have. 24" is A bit small ... but these are so cheap you can get 3x and then its not so small.
