Pros: From my earlier post on the PCIE settings in your bios
The settings are default at 100. If you have adjusted your settings to say 110 for your previous video card you may be oveclocking the 9800gx2 without knowing about it. If you then overclock, in Windows, using NTUNE or Riva Tuner you may be overclocking higher than you what you think. The first signs of oveclocking, beyond specs, should be artifacting or frame freezing. Highly suggest that 9800gx2 owners read TecPower Up and the links to the PCIE issue in their review of the Zotac 9800gx2 and their discovery on the PCIE effects.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I set my PCIE, in bios, from the default 100 to 105 and found the Techpower Up's evalution was correct.

Pros: Good package. Works great. Quiet, powerful. Awesome when used with a 30" monitor for everything except Crysis and even that looks and plays great at 19X12 high settings.
Techpower up's review was right on target. Be careful and read up on the PCIE adjustments in your bios. It will effect your overclocks !! on the 9800GX2. The newest Riva Tuner works great with this board. Download it from 3D Guru.

Cons: Price !!

Other Thoughts: None
