I have abused this MOBO
Pros: Survived my stress testing
Cons: A bit unstable with 2x 3090's
Overall Review: Some initial info. 20+ years of putting together my own pc's. And 10+ years of test engineering experience. I have thoroughly abused this board. Case Temps 60+ C operating 24/7 for about a year right now. I run 1 or 2 rtx 3090's in same case spewing out a good 500 to 600w. 2 140mm noctua fans at 2800 rpm and 3 stock case fans 120mm at 1000rpm can barely bring case Temps to 60c. I must have won the capacitor lottery because no issues so far.
you get what you pay
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Does not respond to key strokes, Keys get stuck, No Off button (keyboard and mouse are on at all times. if there is a low power setting its probably what causes the missed strokes.) Key's get repeated on screen even though key is not stuck.
Overall Review: Just don't buy this. I have had luck with their dvd players in the past but this will be the last product I buy from them.
Its a Videocard
Pros: was available in 2021. have seen it in stock for hours at a time in Newegg.
Cons: it works a bit underpowered for a card that got released in what 2021? but it was available. gets a bit hot occasionally need to add a noisy noctua fan to my case to keep it purring.
Overall Review: Wont pay for itself in mining but it does well for a 2021 card. If it did not get so darn hot it would not be bad. only reason it gets the 4th egg is availability. otherwise just a 3egg average low end card.
Not recognized by Logitech G hub
Pros: Its a mouse. Kinda works.
Cons: Followed instructions on Logitech website on installing the mouse and still not recognized by the hub. I got this mouse specifically for the additional side buttons that I cannot program due to driver/software issues. while there is a product page for a G102 (what came on the box the G203 is what the instructions are for. either a scam or a defectives device they rebrand it and sell it at a lower price point avoid this.
Overall Review: not worth it for the price works same as any other HID 10usd mouse due to software issues.
Low air flow.
Pros: -quite
Cons: -Low airflow. Expected as the rpm is advertised on the front still disappointing
Overall Review: I would avoid unless you just want to fill empty slots in the case with fans and have spare fan controller connections on mo.bo.
Loud very loud.
Pros: Move a lot of air. Keeps my 3090 cool with just one. I popped two in there to reduce noise. I.e. run the two at lower rpm.
Cons: At max rpm it is a loud beast. Tone down the speed and you get a quite rpm fan that moves a lot of air. Learn how to play with fan curves prior to buying.
Overall Review: Decent fan(s). Make sure cable will reach buying 4 pin extensions may be required on some medium atx cases where this is mounted on the top. Multiple with well planned fan curves make these guys worth a while.
I would avoid.
Possible obsolete or counterfeit parts. manufacturer software wont recognize the part.
