Most Favorable Review

Great Value

PS3 Consoles
PS3 Consoles

Pros: Great Value, works great.

Cons: Shipping material was less than adequate resulting in minor cosmetic damage on the front of the unit.

Overall Review: If you buy this, check to see if Newegg can include some additional packing material. The couple pieces of bubble wrap in the box wasn't sufficient.

Most Critical Review

Durability Series (DS in the model) is ironic

GIGABYTE B450M DS3H AM4 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE B450M DS3H AM4 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Looks good, worked excellent out of the box and the RGB function is great

Cons: NO validation with QFlash that you chose the right BIOS flash and there is only ONE BIOS on this "Durability Series" motherboard

Overall Review: In all honesty, this 100% my fault and the reason I didn't give it a 1 egg. I bought this MB, everything was great at first, I loaded everything up, for some reason I thought this was an AORUS series, so I pulled down all of the drivers, and BIOS. I flashed it and bricked it. After a while of trying to figure out why it wouldn't boot to the second BIOS, I noticed that I actually bought the Durability series, not the Aorus. Even though it was my fault for using the wrong BIOS flash, I really feel that the company should have built some sort of check into the Qflash utility to validate it is correct. I also find it super ironic, that the Durability Series of B450M, only has one BIOS (so its really not so durable :).
