Most Favorable Review

Great for the price

Pros: I've ordered 8 sticks of these for two machines and 7 were great! Just what I needed. Runs cool at stock.

Cons: 1 was bad, even when forced at lower settings. I'm at an APO AE address and the return hassle is just not worth it. No time to jump through all the hoops for 25 bucks. My loss. -1 egg for the disappointment. Ordered a replacement as I figured it was just bad luck.

Most Critical Review

Second time worse off

SPARKLE Calibre Series GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card X560 DF
SPARKLE Calibre Series GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card X560 DF

Pros: None now

Cons: Had to RMA the first card because a screw fell off the card when taking out the package. I received my supposedly new card from Newegg today and a screw didn't fall out, it was just missing! While looking the card over in disbelief i also noticed a screw was missing on the actual fan! (3 screws holding it down to heat-sink. Also noticed on said fan, the two remaining screws didn't match at all..different colors! The first fans screws all match..Hmmmmm.

Overall Review: I will not..I mean NOT buy this brand again. I don't even care if the card works wonderful or not. I spent 26 dollars to return a defective product and they sent me a different (Refuse to believe new) card with even more physical problems! Newegg let me down on this one....I swear they sent me their own refurbished. Waste of time and money. I will be looking elsewhere from now on. Trust is gone.

Works when normal, but no OC

ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Well packaged and looks beautiful. Had everything on the board I needed for a small gaming PC. Bios is easy to navigate, and actually a joy to look around. Looks like it has some great settings and adjustments. USB 3.0..fast! Flashing the bios is super easy to do with a usb stick. By far the fastest way I've ever updated a bios. Smoothly operated. Wireless driver was installed first and picked up first try.

Cons: Will not overclock a Sandy bridge 2500k (also bought here at the egg). Every time you try to manually change the multiplier it resets back to 33 stock. treats my 2500k like its a locked chip, even though it "see's" it as a 2500k (which it is). I've flashed to the new bios, flashed back to the original bios, and yet it still the highest manual setting you can go is 37. (stock turbo-boost speed). If I use the auto over clock to 4.0 feature it save the settings, but upon boot into windows its at normal settings. I've updated the bios, changed the battery, reflashed old bios, reinstalled windows, reset again and again and unplugged for hours....no joy. Emailed Asrock for help and got the standard (look on our forums for help ) response. Did that...but nobody has this issue. I'm starting to believe its a borked board.

Overall Review: Antenna was REALLY cheap looking. I bought my own router antennas and they worked perfect. This was my first time buying from ASRock. First impressions matter and this one is 40/60. Good looking board with great features...but the features don't work. I'd give them an even lower rating, but at least I can run at stock for now. If I can't get this fixed or corrected I will just give it to a friend that runs a stock i5 2400, and won't buy from them again. ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 (stock...won't oc) Faulty.

Not Happy

Pros: Looks great out the box. Safely packaged It's Pretty.

Cons: Missing a screw! the nice black shield covering that the fans attach to was loose. Then a small silver screw fell off the card! The whole bottom side is unattached. I then of course looked over the card and noticed where the screw came from and that another was missing. I cannot find the other screw in the box or the static bag the cad came in, so I am afraid to test it. I tried to see if I could possibly put the screw back and I would have to void the warranty to fix it myself. I took a chance because It looked great. I'm not happy now. Having to to ANY RMA will upset you, and especially when it's do to the company's assembly fault.

Not to Bad!

TOSHIBA Laptop Qosmio Intel Core Duo T2500 1GB Memory 200GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 17.0" Windows XP Media Center G35-AV650
TOSHIBA Laptop Qosmio Intel Core Duo T2500 1GB Memory 200GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 17.0" Windows XP Media Center G35-AV650

Pros: Love the Lcd screen, beautiful resolution, World of Warcraft plays at 60 FPS with out dropping. Like the dvd tray drive versus the slot one on previous models. Can use all size disks, and don't have to worry about bending the top plate over it from hand placement. Sound is AWSOME for a laptop...much better soundinf then the newer satellite's I own with Harmon speackers. the round ones sound WAY better then the rectangle design. P105 etc... Plus!!! Winows Media Center addition!! Love it! 4 stars for no restore cd's and old bios loaded. :)

Cons: Like someone said, did not come with restore cd's. Cost another $40.00 to order from toshiba. Had a little trouble restoring to factory settings with cd's, but I explained the work aroundto make it easier for others below.

Overall Review: Ok...when you get it and get the restore CD's...update your BIOS from the Toshiba Website for your model. Easy to do from within windows. If you don't you will get an eror saying wrong machine when restoring. Then restore without changeing your HD sizes...Then you can restore after that to factory settings. Little bit of work...but well worth it. Hope this helps.
