Reliable BT adapter
on October 30, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
My motherboard doesn't have BT and I need BT to update the firmware on my speakers so I bought this and it was plug and play and worked perfectly. I'm sure it will come in hand for future updates and uses.

Made from carbon fibers, the AudioQuest record brush gently reaches into the groove, pulling out dust and dirt that would otherwise snap, crackle, and pop through your speakers. Don't let those little intrusions turn into big interruptions.

Does the job though a velvet brush with cleaning liquid would probably be better.

One of the best budget value entry level turntables available. Fully automatic with a decent needle that's replaceable. Next price tier would be at least twice as much.

My son needed a good quality simple tv for his PS5 and this fit the bill. Could have gone 120hz but that wasn't really necessary for the games he plays plus we had a budget to stay in.

While, thanks to HDMI, Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player to an A/V receiver, Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes, TV sets, subwoofers, all sorts of products. And now, the 3.5 mm Mini Optical connector, also somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink, is everywhere from the 3.5 mm dual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop, to inputs on some of the finest portables.

Optical cable

Seems like a good cable for the price and the connections are solid. Good quality and materials. Definitely not audiophile quality but a huge upgrade to what's usually in the box of audio equipment.

Heavy patterns and designs can interfere with sensor performance. G440 Logitech Mouse Pad features a clean, consistent surface texture. This gives sensors better imagery for translating mouse movement into cursor movement, an improvement over inconsistent or dirty table and desk surfaces. G440 gaming mouse pad is solidly constructed using three critical layers and maintains a low 3 MM profile. The polypropylene top layer provides a low-friction surface. A high-impact polystyrene core in the hard mousepad provides a firm, semi-rigid foundation. And finally, the rubber base keeps the desk mousepad stationery.

I love this simple but awesome PC case. The size is pretty for a gaming PC without being to big like a full size tower. It's just the right size, made very well and looks great.

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.
