Pretty Good Board

Reviewed By: WileCoyote on 6/9/2009

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

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It's cool to have three SLI slots although I doubt I need anything above my two 8800 Ultras for a while. Overclocking is a breeze. For anyone having trouble running 8GB with SLI, just disable SLI ready memory, works like a champ. Board layout is mostly good. Board looks cool as can be!

Cons: My first 8800 Ultra covers to 8x PCI-X slot, negating my wanting a better sound card. On-board sound is still a bit lacking on a board with this price. It seems to be a problem with most boards. If you are running air only, get high capacity fans. I need to redo mine as it only works with the side open for now - my problem.

Other Thoughts: Bad placement of 8X PCI-X slot. Great board layout other than that. Very Stable and EVGA support was 100% dead on in helping me with SLI problem - thanks!

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: 3 way x16 sli. Wonderful board layout. Affordable price. Great overclocking.

Cons: FF post code bug. Must use 1st and 3rd PCIe slot for SLI.

Other Thoughts: I bought this board and received one with permanent FF code. After the RMA the board I received works wonderfully. These things happen and so I took 1 egg away for that and the SLI placement.
