Very Nice Product, Doubled wireless speeds
Pros: Easy install, perfect fit. Driver install was easy.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have a Wireless-N router. I bought this to prepare for an AC router, Before install; wireless N connection was 72MBps. After install; Wireless N speed is 144 MBps. It fluctuates between 86 to 144 but mostly holds speeds of 144MBps. I have always been a fan of Intel products.
Satisfied with purchase, but a little surprised...with Newegg
Pros: I have been building and buying computer components for about 20 years and I have always bought Western Digital hard drives. I have had no issues ever with the HD failing over the years
Cons: I received the product today, 6 June 2019., opened the package and was a little dismayed to see the Mfgr. date was 2 June 2018. Never happened before, never. The sold by and ship by was Newegg,.
Overall Review: I went to WD website and input the Serial # and it showed that the warranty expires 14 months from today. Newegg's website says 2 year warranty. I saw that others had this same issue, so I called WD. A rep came on the line within 1 minute. The rep told me what to do, a simple step. And after I did this, they would honor the 2 year warranty. #2ThumbsUp!!
Motherboard DOA
Pros: Price was what I was looking for. Features is what I needed. MSI is a company that I can trust to make a quality product
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would recommend this product to someone looking for this price range.
Very good case
Pros: Very good airflow top and bottom. It separates the motherboard from other heat generating parts, such as the power supply and hard drives. Hot swap capability is handy. If you need to get to the motherboard, just take off the top; This case has more than enough places for fans, but if you chose the right fans it will still run somewhat quiet.
Cons: It only has 2 slots for 3.5 HDs, and 4 internal slots for 2.5 HDs. Just wish it had more for 3.5HDs instead of the 2.5s.
Great board!!
Pros: Board is flexible with different processors and DDR2 Ram(except DDR2-800). Very easy to setup. Posted easy. Runs XP Pro more efficient than other boards I have owned.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: This is my second Intel board. First board is 2+ yrs and still running solid. I am running a PentD 820, 1 GB PC2-4200 RAM. And if I wanted to I could replace the proc and mem for something higher. That's what I like in a motherboard; flexiblity. I do not play many games but the ones I do have play very well: Ghost Recon Adv. Warfighter, Medal Of Honor: Airborne, Call of Duty 4.
Quiet Fans!!
Pros: These fans are true to the advertising of up to 80% quieter. I had a Panaflo 92mm installed (very loud), installed two of Vantecs, front and back: Very impressed. The only fan I hear now is the power supply fan: Thermaltake W0070; which is somewhat quiet. It lets me know that my computer is on.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I was considering some more expensive fans, because in electronics you get what you pay for; but for the price these are great fans.
