nice unit
Pros: did the generic recognization process on a new bild with no OS quiet nice plain unobtrusive front great price
Cons: no
I Was THE top review
Pros: Now one stick died. The blue memory screen appeared. I suddenly has 3.95GB available and 8GB installed and I was in single channel. DEAD STICK MOBO checks out one as dead with no boot of system. I hope to find this is a rare anomaly with Golden Emperor. I have GEiL sticks that are ten years old that function fine.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The egg is doing an RMA for me. I really never had a RAM failure.
Nice quality. .. Get a four pin cooling fan for it...
Pros: I have a Ryzen 470X ITX from Biostar in it and running well after a drivers update from AMD 18.5.1 All is rather cool now I settled it down after a day of stripping old Intel and old games off my FireCuda HDD 1T [ in the case too].
Cons: I will be junking the three pin fan......it is not loud...it is heard and at times that will get to a casual user who is not computing hard or gaming. Look at the give-away price and the four stars seems very menial and nasty. BUT the mobos have all got fan control on the four pin jumpers on the mainboard.....I suppose CM was just making a point as the fit and quality are NOT TO BE COMPLAINED ABOUT.
Overall Review: N E V E R thought an ITX build could be so great. IT is the new Ryzen "2" series and the new chipset.....
5*****Star as it is ITX and **ran*** - 1st for this guy
Pros: It is the only chipset i would get for a Ryzen. I started this build from bottom up with a 2200G w/Stock HSF and a stick of 3200 DDR4 and a Seagate FireCuda....just sitting there from a 2700 upgrade, and another PC. I loved the X470 chipset in ATX ! Check out the USB3.1 count. There is a bunch of unused chipset in this small foot print to be sure. The IG Vega 8 grahics, Built-In Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, looks OK via this mobo. {See nega-note too, below.} *****DirectX 12.0 (12_1)***** OpenGL 4.6, OpenCL, 2.0 Vulkan 1.1.78 Shader Model 6.1 *****Shading Units 512***** TMUs 32 ROPs8 Compute Units 8 Nothing to compare to BEEG MONEY stuff but it does work in the middle range of a year ago for output. DX12 seems very real to me as I look at it with the GOOD DRIVERS from AMD {to DL for free}.
Cons: I struggled one day with the drivers Biostar sent me on the CDROM ++NOT KNOWING IT++ then I had this Eureka thing and got them up to date and all troubles ceased. Get the latest AMD drivers for the graphics ASAP. This platform is just OK but as I said I upped the ante to a Ryzen 2700 versus this.
Overall Review: All the other BIOSTAR drivers seem good. The tweaker stuff is good too. I will not push the OC as I tried the 2200G and 4.0Ghz and over 3200DDR4 on 3200 sticks will not hold up real well long term. You just strike a nice balance it can handle and run it over stock and cool at that.
Total Failure 2nd November 2015 to Feb 1, 2017 One year and three mos. [about] R.I.P.
Pros: Not bad at first. R.I.P. in one year and about 3 mos. Will not register in Disk Management in Windows 10 anymore. I assume it was not a virus trouble at all. It is so dead Windows does not see it, does not see it on reinstalls either. Turns out to have a very poor longevity at any price. I HOPE YOU DO NOT VALUE YOUR DATA - if you buy one of these.

Overall Review: NO MONEY BACK....NO REPLACEMENT. barely live a year. REAL BAD San Disk. Better just do sticks and thumb drives. Save up for a SAMSUNG super SSD. They might be better than these. No that they put junk on the market HOW do they redeem themselves ? ? ? R.I.P. in one year and about 3 mos. Will not register in Disk Management in Windows 10 anymore.

like many others
Pros: I hope I do not write two reviews.A good old name. She fired up first crack. Needed to compensate for the 8x6 pins a power of a XFX HD7970Ghz. Semi modular seems the way to go. The finish was industrial----it is in a closed case. It looks modern and efficient in graphics and AMPS etc. read easily.
Cons: No stunning designer colors like Fluorescent Toxic Green that I know of in this PSU. The finish was industrial----it is in a closed case. Visitors socks will not roll down at it's beauty, but it is not ugly per se. It looks modern and efficient in graphics and AMPS etc. read easily.
Overall Review: I had a nice incentive from newegg.............like I said I believe in enermax brand name so I felt good getting it.
cheap...cannot recommend
worked and kicked out......i have not solved the glitch
newegg card failure
My default card is a new. Newegg card Two failures due to New egg. Physical credit card has no expire date Checkout is IMPOSSIBLE*****
Shipping same as newegg
I wondered at first as I check the shipment along with some others. It merely looked/acted different; yet matched another newegg shipment from "The Egg" direct in ship time! OK! NO COMPLAINT here....just a help with basic information for others.
