Most Critical Review

Open-box problem

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard

Pros: The usual ones for a board in this price range.

Cons: Missing Q-connector. This was an Open-Box newegg.com purchase. So I knew this could happen. I contacted Asus support and they refused to send me a replacement Q-connector (a sub $5 part).

Overall Review: I've purchased Asus parts/devices for several years (although not exclusively) and was always pleased with their service/products. The Q-connector is a great invention for people like me trying to build a new system with poor eyesight.

Broken Sata plug

Pros: Great refurb price! Quiet.

Cons: - Not much room between Sata power plugs b) one of the Sata power plugs had a broken orange wire.

Overall Review: For the price I saved buying refurb, the broken connector was worth the savings.
