Excellent Mobo / Abysmal Tech Support
- Pros: Near state-of-the-art at low cost. It works. RAID support, e-SATA support, stable, legacy PS-2 support, dual ethernet connections.
- Cons: Poor documentation. Abysmal tech support.
- Other Thoughts: Fortunately, everything worked just fine and I didn't have to contact tech support through their "technical support zone" web-based system for anything really critical. I just had a few questions about how to configure RAID 0. Good grief! It took them days to respond, and when they did, all I got were a few short sentences in reply to my carefully constructed questions. It was obvious that they didn't read my questions carefully and just wanted to blow through it. It took several back-and-forths to get the answers and I had to repeat myself several times. All in all, it took over a week and I still wasn't satisfied. I had to resort to an independent forum to get answers (Tom's Hardware forum).
If you're very knowledgeable about mobos you probably won't find this an issue. However, if something goes wrong and you need them - GOOD LUCK!
working with Q9450
- Pros: Has a hole to stick a CPU into
- Cons: On board sound gets a lot of interference
- Other Thoughts: Running a Q9450 at stock speeds.
Works great right out of the box with my Xeon 3110
- Pros: worked with no bios update for xoen e3110 pros. and with un-spec xms2 ram It runs vista ult with virtual sever running server2008 without a hitch have not tried xfire yet
- Cons: mine came over clocked from the factory so to all the people who gave bad reviews about BSOD check your clock. with cheap ram like i have 30.00 for 2gigs you can not over clock or not buy much took me 20 minutes or so to figure this out
also I wish all manufacturers would stop changing all the connectors just to make you buy a new PSU or a bunch of connectors
- Other Thoughts: why did I weight so long. the mombo ram pros and pwr supply
total cost 500.00 after rebate
