Motherboard DOA

MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I have none for this item. It is a lousy MB.

Cons: I bought this motherboard over a month ago but because the hard drive I ordered arrive broken (SATA terminal broken and bent) I wasn't able to do the system build until the replacement hard drive arrived. Dead on Arrival. Usually when you start a system you can at least get to the bios. Not even able to do that. Complete junk as far as I'm concerned.

Overall Review: If MSI wants to and will replace this, fine. Because of the bad hard drive issue I've gone beyond Neweggs 30 days and can't return it for credit.

Pros: The only pro is that Newegg immediately agreed to the RMA.

Cons: I bought two of these to supposedly run two monitors without a hitch. Out of the box one of the two is useless with a lot of flickering and large boxes of pixels flashing in and out. They're supposedly identical but a close look at them shows they are not. My old EVGA card (a single card) with only 384MB memory did a better job driving two monitors that two of these cards. I put a support request into Sapphire and never got a response. Terrible.

Magellan - never again

Pros: Looks nice sitting there on the dash.

Cons: When the display goes or there's any problem with the unit the warranty is worthless and customer service directs you to the "fine print". I'll never own another one.
