Great Board!
- Pros: Very OC friendly board, got my Q6600 to 3717 with no issues what so ever.
- Cons: No built-in Memtest in the BIOS.
2nd time the charm.
- Pros: Chose this mobo based on ARS Technica system guide, works fine. I haven't overclocked yet, but it's easy with the bios. Tons of USB ports and Sata connections, onboard gigabit ethernet seems a touch faster than the D-Link network card on my old system, onboard audio sounds fine through my existing 5.1 setup, layout was easy to build on. For those who like to see the inside of their stuff, the blue board looks good with copper heat sinks and blue LED's.
- Cons: 1st mobo was DOA, not because of manufacturing defect, because some dummy in a warehouse dropped it. Corner of box was crushed in, it never should have been shipped. I know it wasn't by UPS because the large box with all shipped components wasn't damaged.
Runs Like Water
- Pros: This second GA board I built a 945 a while back and liked it so much I decided to give this one a go. This I also like. It has lots of pros, generous usb, firewire sata, e-sata, sys fans etc. Just as important are those high quality capacitors, MOSFETs and chokes. That what makes the board. The heat pipe works really well. I am running a q600 processor @ 2890ghz x4 (so far) with 4gb of 1066 corsair ram, also overclocked. It's hard to find real-world tests that will push this to 100% on all fours, except for video rendering, however, I have tested under several such scenarios and the board is very stable. Even with a bunch stuff running, such as recording of the TV card and encoding a DVD, running a spyware scan, it can still play games like farcry and quake 4 on ultra high settings etc. Can handle lots of traffic. Just what you want with a quad rig, to run whatever you want without having to bother about whats already running.
- Cons: The board is a little cramped,a minor issue. Just little things like that 4 pin atx connection is actually 8 pin for quad support and its almost impossible to get the connector in and out without bending that really pretty heat sink. While the audio is a vast improvement over previous issues it still falls short and I bet noone actually uses it, I don't. They should either go all the way or not bother with onboard sound. If they were thinking they could loose a PCI slot beacause the onboard sound was just so good they are just wrong. If you are feeding High fiedelity sound equipment with your rig you will notice. Also most good video options will rob you of yet another pci slot. This is a problem with most boards. If they made a stretch version, I would have certainly bought that instead. I don't like paying for connections I can't get too and use.
- Other Thoughts: Well, getting my cpu over clocked wasn't that straightforward at first, at least with the f6 bios, then magically the f8 bios appeared and and so did all of my problems. The thing just flies now. I saw a complaint about the F8 bios, I don't know. After, I flashe the f8 and added another 2gb of ram, I booted up to find only 3 of 4 cores running at 257 mhz. How wierd is that. I ended up clearing the CMOS, re-posting and reconfiruing everything. It eventually ran just perfectly. Such Joy!
