Not bad at all

Reviewed By: on 4/27/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: There is absolutely nothing wrong with this board. It worked flawlessly right of the box.
Overclocked nicely and offered several options.
Keep the BIOS at P07 and you should be all right.

Cons: Vdroop control. It needs to set the Idle voltage a little higher to compensate when the cores kick in. Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind.

Other Thoughts: I would buy another EVGA motherboard without thinking too much. By the way, the forums at their site are **very** helpful, the folks that frequent the forum are the nicest and most knowledgeable, they are happy and always willing to help.

8 month owner ship review

Reviewed By: on 4/27/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: DDR3
Well built
Good layout
Powerful

Cons: You need to manually set a lot of the BIOS.
Memory timings are commonly a pain for people.

Other Thoughts: This board is not a board for someone who is setting up their first computer. You need to know how to set a lot of settings to get it to work at it's peak.
That said. If you know what to do you can make it sing and dance.

Another DoA Mobo...

Reviewed By: on 4/27/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Heard and read great reviews the specs are great

Cons: The board has been nothing but trouble i installed it and during boot got a RAM error and the system shut down, moved the RAM from DIMM slots 0 and 2 to 1 and 3 and got past that error during OS installation the system shutdown again, I have been reading that there has been many DoA mobo's' of this model being shipped and hope it is fixed soon to save others from the nightmare of having a brand new mobo not work.

Other Thoughts: This is a great board (going by the specs) when it isn't DoA.
