Spend more for this reader and get reliability / performance vs cheapies
Pros: 2nd Atech reader. Last one 4 years ago was somewhat buggy, but this one is perfect with no problems at all. Be sure to download the 12/2005 bios update to accept 2GB+ cards. No hassle one click installation: http://www.atechflash.com/download_driver.htm
Cons: None
Overall Review: USB port cord in back is long enough, but I wish all makers started making them extra long. No profit in it I suppose.
good while it lasted
Pros: It was relatively fast.
Cons: It did not even make it a year, then shorted out somehow and took my motherboard with it. Now Im out over $150. Ive never seen such a thing happen before.
No complaints, love this board!
Pros: As a longtime fan of MSI, I may be a little biased but this board has everything you need and maybe even more than you need. I went from a 2012 PC to a 2025 PC and all my old things transferred easily and worked fine, except the old CPU and memory (of course). Very stable, with LED bios codes and secondary redundant diagnoses color LED. Surprisingly well equipped for the price. Easy bios upgrades as well.
Cons: Because of all the features of this board, things are a little tight and power hungry but I think thats because I missed about several generations of change.
Overall Review: Very good board for the price. The MSI Center software is very useful and also has a fan control center that you can set to let the computer decide between normal quiet cooling and faster cooling if your computer needs it.
Good value for the price
Pros: Quiet as advertised, gets the job done. Consider it is air cooling it works well under most normal use and even hard use.
Cons: If you run AIDA 64 stress test it will throttle at 100C pretty quickly, but otherwise normally never gets that hot
Overall Review: A little cumbersome to install but is common sense once you figure it out. Comes with thermal paste already applied!
Works great, worth the money
Pros: Works well with Intel Boost
Cons: I am not a fan of led lights on memory that stay on when the computer is in sleep mode. I dont need a disco in my computer.
Overall Review: Would buy again.
Perfect monitor for the price
Pros: Lots of inputs, easy menu to navigate, use on more than one system with easy switching. No power brick, just standard power cable, which is good as I dislike external power supplies.
Cons: I dont use built in monitor speakers but they were a little weaker than others Ive tried such as LG.
Overall Review: I wish they made 32 inch version of this monitor with 4k resolution, I would buy it!
