Nice little budget board

Pros: Installed Easily AOC unlocking 4th core is very easily done Board is very colorful and looks good in the case The Athlon II X3 435 was found right off the bat without any BIOS updates needed.
Cons: HD audio front panel connection only. AC’97 connector will not work. (of course my case does not have HD audio) I am using a stock X2 64 6000 fan. Even with that I can not use the first RAM slot because heat sink is right up against the ram. Does have a 95watt limit on processors.
Overall Review: Great little motherboard for the money. I tried to unlock two different processors the 435 and a 440. 435 went through without any problems. The 440 failed. Thought it was kinda cute the way it recognized the chip afterwards " Athlon II X3 B35"
Not what I thought

Pros: Stores/measures Heart Rate, ST Segment and QRS in numeric form.
Cons: That's all it does. Upon getting it I seen on the instructions "NOTE: This is an idealized ECG tracing, NOT a real-time recorded ECG tracing. It does not represent your actual ECG" Oh great, even the moving heart rate monitor is fake. I was wanting something that I could record ECG, make a print out to take to the doctor and say here's what's going on! Instead this just takes the raw number and charts that number in a set of three graphs. So if your heart rate on three seperate occassions were 80, 70 and 90. it creates a line chart of those numbers. Same with segments and QRS. Also it has a very unusual USB adapter and stickers with warnings to use only that one.
Overall Review: a blood pressure machine will tell you more than this thing. Wish I would have gotten the more expensive one that does it all.
Works Great

Pros: Have not had any problems with it at all. Fans are not to loud, no overheating. Plays everything I have thrown at it. So far it is doing quite well
Cons: Shame on Newegg. You really dropped the ball on this one. First you advertised it with a non-existent promotion from AMD Rewards. Next you didn't answer any of my tickets to customer services. AMDRewards at first denied me the games stating "The detected hardware does not qualify for the promotion associated with this coupon code. " Kudos to AMDRewards! for being super nice: Thankfully, I had screen shots of everything they needed and they sent me an E-Mail with this statement "Newegg advertised this promotion in error we are going to provide you a code that you can use to redeem for your games."
Overall Review: Notice I did not take any eggs off of the product itself. Product is outstanding. I made my initial purchase decision based on the games that were advertised to come with this card. A good way to save a few bucks and justify the expense of an upgrade. Newegg should have responded.
Working great in my entertainment center

Pros: Installed May of 2019 in my entertainment center. So far working great. Center is on close to 24/7 no issues at all so far. Plays my games just fine. Haven't ran into any heat related issues
Overall Review: I'm real happy with this card it was an upgrade from a R9 280
Rx 580 for price of RX 570

Pros: Everything went great with the install. Didn't like the first set of drivers, after uninstall/reinstall of the drivers it works real well. Should have looked at the picture better and read the specs. Had to run out to get a display port adapter. Just assumed it had a DVI (my fault)
Cons: No free video games Lousy warranty, but extended warranty was only $10ish more for a year. Unable to find this on MSI website
Overall Review: Well worth it. Works like it is supposed to. Don't be afraid to try it
Lasted almost 10 full years

Pros: This power supply has been rock stable for almost 10 years. Sadly, it finally died. It did run pretty close to 24/7 the whole time. Been quite the powerhouse. Had a nice selection of attachable wires that came with it
Cons: Can't think of any
Overall Review: Can't count the number of motherboard/CPU/GPU upgrades that it has seen.
