Most Critical Review

Not Happy Happy Happy

ASRock H87M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock H87M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I liked the price. I liked the reviews I seen after doing some searching on this board. Boots up great with a Haswell installed with 8GB RAM. Loaded Win7 great, boots to desktop very fast.

Cons: When the system reboots it keep cycling an endless loop. System reboots, goes for about 2 seconds and reboots. Cant get to BIOS. You have to kill the power, wait 10 seconds, and boot and your good. Getting errors just after post. FW Status Recover Error and then 2 lines that say ME Invocation Flow Error

Overall Review: Hoping someone answers this ticket quickly as this machine was scheduled for delivery this Friday and with the holiday approaching quick its not looking good. I am a Asus/AMD person and didn't want to stray...but unfortunately this pushed me away. Too bad I had high hopes for it.

Big boy!

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151

Pros: Can move some serious air for the price. Can add another fan.

Cons: None that I have noticed

Overall Review: Can be intimidating if you have never installed a large CPU cooler. Especially when bolting something like this on a board and handling it. Runs quiet at idle and temps are below what is average from what I am reading around.

Nice tower

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0
Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: Bigger than I thought. Good amount of space and good cable management. Lots of air flow. Came with 2 decent fans. Can remove the hard drive cage for more room. Plenty of clearance for a large CPU cooler

Cons: The screens for the fans are flimsy. The SSD mount is a bit crooked. After installing an Asus motherboard I was going nuts looking at the rear panel for the connectors and it looked like there was a gap. The silver panel was snug against the back of the case so I thought I didn't install the motherboard correctly. After checking it over I chalked it up to the case assembly being off. After I installed a sound card I noticed the same gap and the angle of the gap matched the motherboard. So when the case was assembled it looks like the it wasn't aligned right.

Overall Review: Other than the case being "off" I like it.

DOA!

CORSAIR CX-M Series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply CP-9020103-NA
CORSAIR CX-M Series CX650M 650W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply CP-9020103-NA

Pros: Cant give any, it didn't power up.

Cons: It didn't work. Tested and still didn't power up. Swapped with another Corsair PSU and the system powered up.

Overall Review: Not sure if I would recommend, I never got a chance to use it.

An update

Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCIe 124dB SNR Sound Card with 600ohm Headphone Amp and Desktop Audio Control Module
Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCIe 124dB SNR Sound Card with 600ohm Headphone Amp and Desktop Audio Control Module

Pros: Fancy box

Cons: I wrote a lengthy review of this card a bit ago and I have to give an update. Clean format - Fresh install of Windows 8 and the card works at the moment. BUT Yes there is a but... Finally figured out how to plug a musical instrument (guitar) in and the latency is horrible! Ran a test and found it around 112ms! Totally annoying and impossible to record in real time. Another email to creative and this is the best response yet. "Thank you for contacting Creative. Latency is a common behavior for most audio applications" Are you kidding me! The advertisement boasts about having "ultra low latency ... as low as 1ms" Its YOUR application! Nothing else is running. Tried all the suggested responses with no change and its really disappointing and frustrating.

Overall Review: Going to rip this thing out and either use the onboard audio or the prior sound card I had. So disappointing and so frustrated that you wait forever for a response from their tech support.. Save your hard earned money. I am surprised I made it this far without loosing it.
