Great Board

Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price, boots fast, and Easy to work with. It will work with a 125W chip even though ECS websites states 95 watts only, I currently have a Phenom II 965 Black AM3 125W chip and 8 gigs of 1066 mem running in dual channel along with Nvidia GTX 275 1792MB videao card and a 950W Power Supply Sweet is not the word
Cons: Can't cook dinner
Other Thoughts: I bought this board along with an Phenom II 940 Black that newegg was selling as a combo when I realized thay worked great together I quickly changed the chip to the 965 Black 125W and it rocks haven't had one issue

Motherboard Shuts Down

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Boots fast.
Cons: I have this machine set up to record video from my IP cameras. I have XP running on it and after a day or two I will check the machine and it has gone into hibernation and won't come out of it. There is no way in bios to turn off power saving so the machine will keep running.
Manufacturer Response:If you still require assistance with this "hibernation" issue please contact us.

Tech Level Tech Level: low - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy to work with. Built a HTPC in about 3 hours with this board. The on board graphics work well but will still purchase a graphics card to link the hybrid crossfire abilities. Haven't received my memory yet but had an old set of PNY 1 Gb and the unit was extremely fast with my ADM processors. There is some noise but with the volume on the TV you don't even hear the four fans in my unit. This is an board for a first time build. After building this I might try a gaming computer with a more expensive board. Was very happy after assembling on first build and I hit the power button and it worked!!!!! It being running for 36 hours and no major problems accepts a few driver update for my Phillips LCD.
Cons: The instructions were incorrect in several places. The text told you one direction, but a picture indicated a different way. The most important example of this was installing the CPU, an impatient person may force the CPU down and end up bending the pins. Just look at the picture to avoid my mistake. I didn't bend the pins but became very close to doing it.
