Great!!!
Pros: Threw the computer together and it fired right up. No issues besides the fact that I always put the power button leads in the wrong place. Didn't have to manually set the ram frequency.
Cons: None to report.
Overall Review: Paired it up with an A8-3850 and a 4gb chip of 1600 ram.
Ok while it lasted...
Pros: It kept my computer from being a jet engine 24/7 and looks good.
Cons: It got REALLY hot, too hot to touch and I think that's what doomed it.
Overall Review: This is the second one I have tried and I think I am going to try the sunbeam 3 channel one this time. 20w vs 30w
Great little card
Pros: Low power consumption while offering better that integrated performance. Passively cooled so no noise while staying relatively cool.
Cons: ummmmm nope nothing.
Overall Review: Used three of them in identical workstations to replace the motherboard integrated graphics. Works perfectly fine with no troubles.
Great First FX!
Pros: The stock heat sink is more than adequate when running the CPU without an overclock. The temp. is in the low 30s It got a 7.3 on WEI with 1333mhz cas9 RAM. My Phenom x4 at 3.4ghz gets the same score but with 1600mhz cas7 RAM.
Cons: NO REGRETS!
Overall Review: Used 3 of them in some workstations I built for my Dad.
All Good
Pros: I ordered 3 of these for a few workstations that I built and all work pretty much without any major hiccups. I do believe this is the cheapest board with SATAIII and I needed that for an SSD.
Cons: You have to manually set the RAM speeds in the Bios and it's not an entirely straight forward process.
Overall Review: The builds consist of an AMD FX-4100, 4gb of 1333, cas9 ram, HD 5450 and a 120gb Chronos SSD
Great!
Pros: It's RAM. It usually either works or it doesn't, this RAM does work and very well.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I have used it in 3 different builds now.
