Most Favorable Review

Buy this board!

ASRock H97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock H97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Works as it should, good layout, great price.

Cons: Is in only one of my computers

Overall Review: Bought this to replace another brand that was causing me to pull out what remaining hair I still have, turns out it was a great choice! Installed it, loaded my os and has been running like a top!

Most Critical Review

Get something else

GIGABYTE GA-H81-D3 LGA 1150 Intel H81 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-H81-D3 LGA 1150 Intel H81 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Price

Cons: From the products I've been sent recently, the QC at Gigabyte seems to be slipping.

Overall Review: Bought this along with a new PSU, Intel processor, and two sticks of ram to upgrade an old computer. From the start, I had nothing but problems. Blue screens, unable to select different fan control options, unable to change boot order and various other issues. Cleared cmos multiple times even reinstalled os once. Finally, removed this piece of junk, replaced it with another brand mb and my computer has been running perfect since. First used a Gigabyte board in 2011 without issue, so I looked to them once again. This is the 2nd Gigabyte board for this build, had to return the 1st because of some weird looking pins in the processor socket. Newegg refunded 100% of that purchase, will see how this one turns out, but it's not staying at my house.

Blue Tooth Receiver/Transmitter

Anker 99ANRECV-02BA Black Bluetooth 2.1 Receiver + Transmitter 2-in-1
Anker 99ANRECV-02BA Black Bluetooth 2.1 Receiver + Transmitter 2-in-1

Pros: Bought this along with a RCA adaptor to use on my home TV before learning it doesn't have either a RCA jack or 3.5 mm audio output, but I have a couple of other devices that do, and I use it a lot. If you are needing a bluetooth receiver or transmitter for whatever the reason, this is a good one.

Cons: I wish there was a way to use this with a digital audio output, but as far as I know, there isn't.
