Pros: well it fired right up , i put ddr2 pc6400 ram in it i had left over so i popped it in connected everything and it works just fine

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: I think some people are egging this board due to its combo ddr2 ddr3 type , i think they must be using the wrong ram type and just take their frustration out on the board this is the 10th msi board ive purchased and it works just like the other 9 i have in builds. sure its not as refined in some areas as most Asus boards i have but it still gets the job done. Good job msi keep up pumping out reliable get the job done mobos.

Pros: comes with 300 watt flex psu (not sure how close to 300 watts it pushes) sleek design , bought it at the time for 19.99 shipped so for the money its not bad. side panels are pretty sturdy for this price range

Cons: usb ports cover fell off but didn't look to bad without it lol at least its easy access like most cases are now

Overall Review: i don't trust the power supply at this price, i'm a firm believer in a reputable psu on a unit and for this price its too cheap to trust it. I would only recommend this cpu for a low wattage dual core intel cpu , like a celeron G1610 and a 30 watt graphics card like a 8400GS for basic hometheater use, it does lay down if you buy some bumpers and is about the size of a old school VCR so for 19.99 shipped i would recommend it for this use , tight budget build basic home theatre.

Pros: they get the job done well , work better than any internal usb solution ive tried even the ones that use molex power for added power

Cons: no internal mount options available for desktops

Overall Review: ive purchased rosewill 3 usb internal card readers, Kingwin 7 port usb 3.0 port internal readers -these have molex connection for added power, all of these have issues reading my portable hard drives , usb flash drives all the time , these orico hubs however work wonderfully , my transfer speeds are so much more steady now when i plug a device in to move and copy files , i use to think my flash drives were defective , now i realize it was those internal card readers not running right . I highly recommend these even without using a usb c power connector they still do a good job of reading portable hard drives etc

Pros: Title basically sums this up

Cons: it doesn't magically increase capacity overtime lol

Overall Review: i can confirm that i have used this drive along with the 512gb and 1tb versions as well as a 2tb that i have to replace a mechanical hard drive soon, i use these drives in every version of windows from windows 2000 to windows 10 and they are capable of working with the correct bios config in all of these operating systems out of the box. MLC cache is a tried and true reliable format in the somewhat new world of ssd technology , i can depend on these drives to generally hold up for the long haul and i highly recommend these classic models to anyone interested in upgrading from mechanical drives . I just hope team don't do like most companies and once they establish a longstanding reputation , they become complacent and start dropping in reliablity and quality for the price

Pros: Semi Modular -great cable management 600 watts , plenty for my gpu and gaming needs Bought on sale for $42 each when they were on sale thats tax etc included so this was amazing value

Cons: none so far i am currently powering a Core i5 10400F with a GTX 970 with one of them

Overall Review: defintely recommend a great value , hopefully they will be on sale again so more people can get a great deal on it

Pros: $20 the other week when they sold it for 39.99 with 50% off promo code :)

Cons: none that i can tell so far

Overall Review: bought an old c2d system real cheap that did not work well the power supply could not take a weak dedicated graphics card so i bought this board and an richland 6400 dual core apu to solve the problem , defenitely handles this system better now , ended up giving to parents . Fun little solution for cheap
