It's okay - Tricky driver issues 01/01/2015

This review is from: Mediasonic HP1-SU3 PCI Express USB 3.0 ProBox Card

Pros: It is a USB 3.0 card. Hitting peak/burst rates of 73MB/s. Got it with rebate.

Working drivers at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=19880

Cons: Lack of website support.
No low profile bracket.
No documentation for troubleshooting.
Loose power connector
WIndows 8.1 driver didn't seem to function. Need drivers from the Intel website. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=19880

Other Thoughts: I was never able to find Firmware update, but it wasn't necessary.
Win8.1 installed a driver that didn't seem to do anything.
Once I installed the USB drivers from the Intel website, (Renesas USB 3.0) it started complaining about power issues. They eventually stopped, but nothing was being recognized. I touched the power cable and it came to life. The power connector on the card is very loose. I might have to tape it or something.

Wow. Sooo Quiet 12/22/2014

This review is from: CORSAIR CXM series CX600M 600W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC CORSAIR CP-9020060-NA Power Supply

Pros: It is modular. It is Bronze level. Most importantly it is so quiet. I had to check it was on when I was setting it up. Very Pleasant suprise.

Cons: none really. It doesn't have a 4 pin mother board connector, but that is rare today.

Other Thoughts: Very Happy with this purchase. Hope it last.

poor color / poor hdmi performance 12/19/2014

This review is from: PowerColor Go! Green AX5450 1GBK3-SH Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card

Pros: The card is passively cooled. Super easy install, windows 8 does it for you.
HDMI sound is good.

Cons: Terrible color reproduction. After two days of tweaking I gave up on the hdmi connection and connected it to the VGA. It worked better but the colors are very harsh. Considering returning it.
HDMI was terrible for windows. The text was very blurry.

Other Thoughts: I'm considering weather it's worth going through the $20 rebate
