Pros: -Even with an outdated as hell SB4100 modem, this router transmits a solid signal from the kitchen up to the second floor of my house -Easy setup due to Win7 -Router UI is very simple and clean -Great download speeds whether it's buffering videos or downloading multiple files

Cons: -Wish it came with a new modem

Overall Review: I'm aware I'm bottlenecked by an extremely old modem, but even with that I average a 15-30 ping playing Steam online (they recommend using a wired network) and a download speed of half a MB for updates/patches. And watching the Evo2k12 stream brought no problems whatsoever. Not once did I have to pause for it to buffer more nor did I encounter video quality/sound issues.

Pros: Ease of use UEFI BIOS Tasteful red/black color accents without being garish Affordable

Cons: Rear Headphone Jack affected after some recent maintenance/cable routing (volume cut by half/bad quality), was bypassed by HD front audio Neglected BIOS firmware support

Overall Review: This board handled a GTX 1080 ti, an R5 1600, a Seasonic GX650 PSU and a Corsair H50 inside a Cooler Master Elite 130 since Winter 2017. Took a chance on ASRock since Mini ITX offerings were EXTREMELY limited at the time for gen 1 Ryzen & I was pleasantly surprised since I tend to lean towards Tier 1 vendors like ASUS/MSI/Gigabyte. For people contemplating a MiniITX build, my advice would be the following: • Do not attempt it as your first ever PC. You WILL get frustrated. • Do not attempt an AIO cooler installation in a small form factor (SFF) unless you have done so before. You're better off doing a low-profile heatsink • Check the supported RAM speeds. This board did not natively support 3000mhz until a later BIOS update so I had to run my memory at 2933mhz until then Will update the rating if I fix my rear headphone problem and it turns out to be my lousy cable routing causing some sort of EMI/loose connection somewhere

Pros: - Price for performance (When I first laid eyes on this card, it was $250. Fast forward a few months and suddenly it's $180) - Excellent cooling setup. This card doesn't even break into the 60s if it runs at near max fan speed.

Cons: - BIG. Fourtunately my case is an Antec 1100, so I didn't have to worry about anything. But man, the card was so big that I had to handle it with both hands out of fear that I'd drop it with just one! - Not much room for OC'ing. I was only able to push it up 50 mhz core AND memory clock. Any further and my PC would crash in-game. This is the main reason I knocked an egg off.

Pros: Spacious 8gb cache gives my most used programs an extra kick in loading speed Surprisingly thin for a desktop HDD

Cons: Slightly pricey (then again, I was comparing this to WD and Seagate 1TB drives that were under $70) Obviously not as fast as an SSD, but I was aware of this prior to ordering

Pros: -Does what it needs to do -Ability to add a second fan for a dual-fan setup -Extremely quiet and pushes a great amount of air -Very well-priced

Cons: -Intel push pin securing was abysmal and they broke on me instantly, but I ended up securing it with screws/washers (oddly enough, that works better) -Mounting brackets for second fan is fragile. I removed the heatsink for a simple cleaning and the screwholes on the bracket cracked, resulting in broken mounts. I never overtighten screws and going back to a single fan setup was disappointing.

Overall Review: A very good alternative to the Hyper 212 model, but be careful if you try to go to a dual-fan configuration.
