Only looks good on paper
- Pros: The spec sheet reads like a dream come true - PCI-X, PCI-E16 x 3, USB2.0, IEEE1384, etc.
- Cons: The reality is much different. This board would not POST with a 45nm Wolfdale processor despite ASUS's claims and despite having the latest BIOS (v1001) installed. POST was sporadic at best with a 65nm Conroe processor.
- Other Thoughts: I purchased this board was an open-box, so I cannot, in good conscience, give it a 1 even though I would like to do so. Since I have no knowledge of the previous purchaser's experience with it, you be the judge.
SLI
- Pros: Great board does everything I could expect it to do. 8GB of OCZ SLI memory and Core 2 Duo CPU. Even let's me do SLI.
- Cons: The bottom PCI-E x 16 slot seems dead. I cant get any video card to run in it. I am currently running two Asus EN 8800 GTS w/320 MB of memory on the top and middle slots. Worried that two of these cards so close together will be a heat issue. Even the motherboard documentation states to run the second board in the lower slot. Wish it worked for me. Nothing in bios to set and no jumpers. Perhaps I just have a dead PCI-E x 16 slot.
Sick to my stomach...
- Pros: None so far.
- Cons: First board posted once, then never again. Tested all my components and everything seemed to be working to I returned the board. Tried with new board. Posts, but can't get OS installed. Based on tech forums appears to compatibility issue with Q6600. Tried to install Windows XP Home, Pro and Vista Ultimate 32bit. Each install craps out at some point. Frustrating. I think I'm done with ASUS.
