Most Favorable Review

Surprisingly good

Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSH / C51PVM06N2-6KRSH 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150B(PV) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Foxconn 6150BK8MC-KRSH / C51PVM06N2-6KRSH 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150B(PV) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: NOTE: to USB 2.0 user. In XP just uninstall driver and recan hardware, will succeed if service pack 2 is on. Board seems to work right out of the box. Usually order Abit, but have all this old DDR sitting around and giving systems away to my friends. Can't get much more economical than this for web-browsing.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Rosewill RHTB-11005 Articulating 37" to 65" Full Motion Dual Arm TV Bracket Mount, Max. Load : 165 lbs , Max VESA 800 x 500mm

Pros: Sturdy

Cons: I made the review on 10/22/12 and Rosewill suggested I contact them. Twice I have filled out the necessary information and no response. The phone support thought that I should have left my wall, living room and stereo system ripped apart and shipped the unit back. They refused to address the whole issue of quality control, and didn't think it was strange that the unit was riveted on backwards. Ultimately, they attempted to make me out as the culprit. Maybe I should have checked the unit out completely before starting, but really, who expects a bracket to be assembled backwards?

Overall Review: Why do companies shoot themselves in the foot this way? This has the potential to be an outstanding product if they put just a little more effort into it. Also what happened to the video I uploaded?

Pros: Hopefully it will work some day

Cons: Was stuck at code "15", after flashback, stuck at "A6"

Overall Review: It shouldn't be this hard. I've been building PC's since back in the 80's and this ranks as the most perplexing ever. Wasted over 6 hours on this issue. - 2 Different Platinum Seagate Power Supplies - 2 Different Video cards, one is MSI powerless. - Flashback to latest BIOS, X670ETC1.11.AS06.ROM. - Reseated CPU 7950X multiple times. - Removed both NVME drives. - Tried single and double sticks of RAM in every slot/combination. - G-Skill Trident 32G Ram: F5-5600J3636D32GX2-TZ5RK - Multiple BIOS resets via button/shorted pins/battery removal. I'm out of ideas, though some comments on the forums indicate RAM. QUESTION: How does one debug this???? Unlike AM4, where I have multiple motherboards, CPU's and RAM, there is no way to simply swap out. What does Newegg/Asrock/G-Skill/AMD recommend? Where do I look, how should I proceed. This is insanity. And as an ex real-time programmer who ported a few OS's and programmed chips, it is baffling that the error codes are as useless as they were 40 years ago. Just shoddy programming. NOTE: Debug Code "A6", not "AB". Please add additional ideas.
