Revainrating 3 out of 5

(UPDATE 11 - 5) Too busy under the GPU at the very bottom

(Update 11 - 5) This has to be the buggiest thing I've ever had. And remember, I'm upgrading from an A8-5600K and a $45 FM2 mobo. For the price, I should NOT just see my devices randomly shut down and REMAIN disabled until my computer restarts. This has happened to my ethernet and headphone ports so far. Nothing helps except a reboot. So far this happens when I put my computer to sleep (Ethernet) or unplug my headphones. Headphones come out, the port is dead until I reboot. No matter what I do, it just says no device is connected. Of course I could blame Windows, but why? My hardware is the only thing that has changed. Drivers and bios updated. Pretty pathetic for the price. At least the device didn't actually crash. Original: I get it - there's so much room on this thing - but I'm surprised that my GPU is almost sitting on the bottom of my case and the GPU fans are almost chewing on the cables. if not for twisted ties and crossed thumbs. In addition, the manual is practically useless and the PDF linked via QR code is only marginally more helpful. I haven't done much in the BIOS and I've barely gotten into Windows, but I need to go to bed. As such, my experience in these areas is currently minimal/nonexistent.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Having doubts
