Most Favorable Review

Nice little board! Bought this with a Pentium G3258 for some overclocking fun.

ASRock H97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Good feature set.

Cons: Had to flash to an earlier BIOS (1.90) in order to change CPU multiplier. Works great now.

Most Critical Review

Gigabyte Support? Very Poor!

Pros: Worked well...while it worked.

Cons: After a few months, the board suddenly showed the "BIOS CHECKSUM ERROR" that some other folks have experienced. Opened a case (Case# 12-083176) with customer support and tried all their suggestions. After that, no further emails were answered and phone calls never got a response. I'm so frustrated with this situation (that has spanned several MONTHS) that I won't buy another Gigabyte product for myself or my customers, and can't in good conscience recommend their products.

Overall Review: I would have been happy to work this out with Gigabyte, but their customer support won't respond. Consequently, I feel compelled to post this.

I like it!

ARRIS SURFboard SBG7580AC DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem / Wi-Fi AC1750 Router – Retail Packaging – Black
ARRIS SURFboard SBG7580AC DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem / Wi-Fi AC1750 Router – Retail Packaging – Black

Pros: Cable modem works just like it should, no surprise there. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the WIFI worked. Reliable as an anvil and the range and signal strength is far superior to the ATT residential gateway it replaced. Easy set-up and was up and running on my existing network in 10-15 mins.

Cons: This unit is quite expensive and, while I can't compare it with anything other than what it replaced, at $150 it would have gotten 5 eggs.

Overall Review: If you need a modem like this and have the coin, I can recommend it highly.

Budget overclocker!

Pros: Running at 4.3 wilt very little voltage increase.

Cons: None

Unifying USB Receiver

Pros: If you download and install the latest Unifying software from Logitech, plug the receiver into a USB port and follow the instructions, this device works like an anvil. It is not, however "plug and play" in Windows 7, as some folks seem to think.

Cons: None

Pros: Dependable as an anvil. Used on an older laptop with only 2 USB ports and hasn't missed a beat.

Cons: None

Awful

MY GOODS TOOK ELEVEN DAYS TO SHIP THE WRONG ITEM. IT'S NOW BEEN NINETEEN DAYS. I SHIPPED THE ERRONEOUS ITEM BACK TO THEM AND AM WAITING FOR A REFUND (WHICH I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE I WILL RECEIVE.) NEWEGG SHOULD HAVE RESPONDED TO MY INITIAL INQUIRY WITH, "I'M SORRY THIS HAPPENED AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM." THEY DIDN'T. I'VE NEVER BEEN FORCED INTO A MORE FRUSTRATING AND TIME CONSUMING RESOLUTION ATTEMPT. I'VE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF NEWEGG FOR MORE THAN THIRTEEN YEARS, BUT AFTER BEING TREATED SO SHABBILY, I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CONVINCE MYSELF TO DO BUSINESS WITH NEWEGG, OR ANY OF IT'S "PARTNERS" IN THE FUTURE. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS AWFUL AND I COULDN'T POSSIBLY RECOMMEND ANY OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM EITHER.
