Worked
Pros: Lots of space, works fine after you make the system recognize the whole space size. Installed it for and Eyemax 9000 series DVR system.. working so far .. Hope it last this way..
Cons: None, but just a warning for those who wants to use it on Windows XP sp3 , the hardriver would be recognizable as 875 gigabytes , and the rest of the driver won't be available for windows, since is a bare driver it won't come with Seagate diskwizard disc , which is important to be installed in Windows XP so you can use the whole driver.. Be warned and download DiskWizard from Seagate website..
A bit dissapointed
Pros: Ok, So I got it fast not even a day since I ordered, NewEggs rocks.. A lot space, Good material looks awesome.
Cons: So my main issue was the PSU, Its a ATX PSU with the default length for the connection to mainboard and the 4 pins socket connection for the CPU, My motherboard is an Asrock board full ATX specs, the CPU socket its all the way to the left top where the 4 pin socket lays too, That connection is far away for the default power cable to reach, but Thermaltake sent an extender so it could reach... fine for the 4 pin socket. Now the real problem is with default Power connector that goes in the mainboard, it barely reach and with the Graphic card installed is even more Difficult I had to turn the PSU in the wrong position for it to reach with pressure. I had only secured the PSU with 3 screws because the PSU black power socket wont complete it fit on the 4 right top screw hole.. As of now, The power cable from PSU to motherboard power socket is over the graphic card which bend it a little bit for the pressure the cable gives... Now I need to either buy a new PSU with longer power cords or get a motherboard with the power socket closer to the PSU location in order to have the system property settled up.. I wasn't expecting that to happen but its my fault I didn't dig more in the design of the Case, usually PSU goes on the top left of the container so the length of the PSU cables reach the main power socket and the 4 pin socket of the motherboard. Top and from plastic coves comes off without much pressure, which when handling can break or come off which is not good.
Gave it new life
Pros: it's been 10 years since i bought it.. still works.. well 3 years ago a replace it for a better Radeon card. I don't do gaming much anymore, installed on a AMD FX6300 and installed Ubuntu 18.04 and RetroPie works fine..
Cons: doesn't have direct x 12, lol
AMD is back...
Pros: So glad I bough this CPU not overclocking yet.. upgrade from a FX6300 and no more lags in Firefox or hangs.. Awesome chip..
Cons: none
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB Works nicely
Pros: Nice board cheap, My 1600 CPU didn't complain.. used this memory G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231900 I was worried it won't work.. read the booklet it specified that if you want to run a Memory at PC4 3200 you need to install in slot 2 = A2 and slot 4 = B2 still was not detected as such but going to BIOS and changing it to PC4 3200 did work.. and now running nicely .. check voltage for 1.35 on the DRAM.. this with latest bios 2.60
Cons: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231900 wouldn't detect automatically the correct speed, but it was a lottery for me.. It is not recommended memory so is not their fault and that's why am not taking any egg off..
Overall Review: I would buy this board again, Asrock always been a very decent manufacture and with fair prices.. Rizen CPU rocks..
Work with ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4
Pros: They look great cheap, works fine with ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4 , though needed to set up the speed in bios.. Latest as of this date..
Cons: Not really a con, well it wouldn't automatically run at intended speed.. but this wasn't memory authorized for Rizen CPU ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4
It worked..
Yes it did worked, Had to send seller a message asking him why Would I needed to wait shipment if it was download code for Steam and DOOM 3 BFG.. After an hour or so I received an plain text email from seller giving me the steam redeem code.. Just that, At this point I guess something is going to arrive at my mailbox with the code that was sent tru my email.. Other than that estrange situation the code worked and was able to download DOOM 3 from steam and I am playing it just fine.. Oh works for windows 10 x64 right off the bat..
