Great sound but no updates
on June 25, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Lucky I got it on a major sales because I'm a little disappointed that it never gets any updates. Looks and sounds great but can't really use it as a smart speaker because it can't do much compared to my Google smart speaker.

Great addition to dining room

I've found that having this to control my dining room lights is working better then just using voice or app controls. It's the only area that I've really needed a manual controller which I use about 50% of the time.

Automatic detection of any combination of individually addressable CORSAIR RGB fans makes for easy setup, with out-of-the-box control of up to 264 RGB LEDs on compatible CORSAIR RGB devices. Two included temperature sensors allow you to keep an eye on your system and create automated fan curves for the most efficient cooling. Powerful CORSAIR iCUE software ties all of these capabilities together in a single interface. Complete with a USB 2.0 pass-through to connect an additional internal USB device and embedded magnets for easy installation, the CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT puts your setup at your command.

If your PC is in the Corsair ecosystem this will be a good device for controlling Corsair fans and argb. iCue software is required though it's a pretty good reliable software.

It depends on the connection type of the RGB/aRGB devices you plan on using. I made my own with spare connectors I had from previous builds. Watch this YouTube video which should be helpful. Corsair Lighting Node hacks for non-corsair RGB devices.

The CM1000 Ultra-High Speed Cable Modem, with speeds up to 1Gbps and DOCSIS 3.1 is 10X faster than DOCSIS 3.0 devices. It's backward compatible with DOCSIS 3.0 and ready for future service plan upgrades for XFINITY from Comcast, Cox, and Spectrum. A Gigabit Ethernet port provides faster access and downloads.
On the Spectrum Authorized Modems page, is says Netgear CM1000v2 is compatible. Is this v2 I don't see where it says it anywhere in the specs or in the model number.
I ordered it on BB website and received the V2 version even though it wasn't specific which version it was. Probably all the older versions are sold out and only the V2 is available now and BB hasn't updated their website description.

Midco list CM1000 & CM1000 v2 BB sells NASversion, Called Netgear they said 3 versions of modem are avail. & order of release are CM1000, CM1000-NAS, CM1000V2 so called Netgear -they said call ISP, called ISP they said call Netgear, this work w/Midco?
I ordered the only CM1000 on BB website which doesn't really clarify if it's V2 or not. When I went to register it on Netgears website it came up as V2 which was great news. I'm pretty sure all the original ones have been sold out and the V2 are what you will get as long as ordering from a reputable company.

Would you be able to overclock an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
Yes. Easy to overclock multi core to 4.0/4.1 and even up to 4.3 with a single core clock of 4.7/4.8. I have a 3700X on this mobo but my other Asus mobo has the 3900X so I'm familiar both the Mobo and CPU.
