Questions & Answers

Where are the pins on the motherboard that the headphone jack connects to?

I am using the HD audio header on the motherboard on both the case front panel and on the Fosa dashboard panel header. Since my motherboard (an Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero) has only one of these headers, I have bought a HD audio header splitter box.

I like the layout, it's simple, cheap and pragmatic
4/5

I constructed this panel using a simple cable kit that I had on hand, or I could have built it from scratch. It's not extremely beautiful, but it does the job, and it costs less than what it would cost me to design my own using cables. As I mentioned, I have installed Windows 10 on AMD/PC processors. There are no issues with the card reader or any of the port extensions. In general, it should work well for any mid-size firm My review is based on the look and feel of the unit, plus I generally hide it behind a closed door anyway, so I don't consider cosmetic features when evaluating it. My experience is that I do not have any difficulty finding/finding the slots and ports in low-lighting They did a good job in picking colors and arranging things in a way that helped make them stand out when trying to plug things in and orient them. The following note applies to towers larger than 38 feet or deep racks It would be nice if the cables were longer for mounting cases. I did go into quite a bit of server detail for my motherboard There are several ways to style a rack It had a straightforward chassis, the USB and SATA connections worked fine, but the audio connection was way back and the cable had to be extended significantly to reach it, and the temperature sensors barely made it to something worth pinning As a result, for the price and the convenience, I give it a 4. Had the cables been 4 or 5 inches longer, I would have given the tablet five stars.

A USB 3 interface is in use
4/5

The intended outcome is 0 . The chassis's intake fan can be controlled (though it can't be turned half-way between off and max), but can be set to slow or max speed. It's been a while since I used the card reader.
The only downside of my LED is its brightness. The display should be dimmable or can be brightened, just to name a few issues. Perhaps it is not an issue so much as it is A second limitation is that you can only see There is a shelf above me where I keep my computer. I have to look up to see the display, and I can't see the numbers at all from that vantage point.

In order to be able to read the display, you must be standing The display could be much better but it is easy to install

Your time and money will be saved
3/5

There is no temperature sensor in this unit. It is very cheaply built and poorly constructed. It's equipped with Molex connectors (useless). You will save time and money by doing this.

This place should go to a better cause
3/5

An eye level viewing of a digital display is not very clear, so it can only be read at eye level.

There's no content or interface to explain, but it works very well with older Ps
3/5

A C and a P for the newer version. The Cs. The current setup may not be too fancy but it seems to work fine so far. We'll see if it lasts that long.
