Pros: Since my previous review doubled the ram to 8gb and have been overclocking, this thing is rock solid, running 8 gigs of ddr 800 at 1066 5-5-5-15 at 1.8v with no problems, e5200 overclocked on stock voltage to 3.2ghz, and didn't need to update the bios to recognize my 45nm wolfhound. Boots right up every time with no problems, speedfan says NB chips running at 32c under load so I'm not worried about the cheaper chipset cooling. PCIE 2.0 is making my GTX 260 happy. Supports 16gigs of ram and quad core processors for future upgrades. Also, my Freezer 7 Pro fits fine, I'm thinking the previous reviewer had some seriously tall ramsinks.

Cons: Umm, it's not LGA 1366? But lets face it, at this price I'm happy its not socket 478. Honestly, I guess there could be better cooling, like on the solid caps around the proc, but thats being picky.

Overall Review: I'm very satisfied with this purchase, ASUS makes a good product almost all of the time, and this one works well for me. 45nm E5200, ASUS PQ5 SE, 8gb Gskill ddr2 800, GTX 260, Freezer 7 pro

Pros: Bang for the buck indeed. When I purchased this chip, I didn't have the extra funds to buy an aftermarket cooler, as previously noted here, this sucker runs hot on stock cooling even at stock clocks. Regardless, I haven't noticed (forgot in fact) until recently when I upgraded my video card to a GTX 970, and tried to find the bottleneck. Yep, I've been running it on the stock cooler at stock speeds all these years and it's been ahead of my video cards. Time to buy an aftermarket cooler and push up the clock on this beauty. Looking forward to Star Wars Battlefront and Fallout 4 on it! I'm going to get at least five years total of high performance out of this chip, more likely 7 or 8, all for under 2 bones. Four years later, and still very, very pleased with this purchase.

Cons: Really none, some say the stock cooler, but it functions perfectly at stock speeds for years playing the most demanding games. What do you really want?

Pros: Considerably less expensive than the 5870 when I bought it with near the same performance, with less power draw and less heat. My AC Freezer 64 CPU fan is louder, even after gaming for hours. Fluid frame rates Playing Fallout New Vegas at 1080p at Ultra High settings. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Cons: None come to mind.

Overall Review: It's not a 5970, but for what you pay it's a steal.

Pros: Silent 92mm fan, copper based heat pipe goodness, Arctic Silver preinstalled, all for about twenty bones with free shipping? Yes please!

Cons: It is a bit big, but hey, more surface area to transfer heat means better cooling. Just make sure it can fit in your case.

Overall Review: Currently running my mildly overclocked Athlon II X 4 620 (3.0GHZ) at room temperature (25c) in all four cores, almost completely silently. Stock cooling was Idling at 41c, load of 54c, and the fan was quite buzzy. If your looking for excellent cooling at a budget price, buy this thing. This is in effect the same Freezer 7 pro I have in my LGA775 rig, but for AM2 socket, and about fifteen bucks less.

Pros: Support for AM3 chips, my Athlon II X4 620 was plug and play without a hitch. Supports DDR2 up to 1600 on the FSB, and that's still cheaper than DDR3 (though not much). The integrated video is a Radeon HD 4200, with support for Direct X 10.1 and the new flash GPU video acceleration, windows experience test rates it at 4.3 for aero, with outputs for VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI, so for an integrated chip it's not bad at all.

Cons: No legacy support for PS/2 mice, usb only. Not a big deal for me really, but may be for some. DVI is DVI-D ONLY. This should be a con for newegg's spec writing department really, as they did not clarify in the specs. DVI-D means support for digital monitors only, so if you want to run a second VGA monitor with a DVI to VGA adapter your most likely out of luck, because this port outputs digital signal only.

Overall Review: A good little board, I can't rate it down because Newegg wasn't specific enough on the specs and I didn't look closely enough at the pictures. Although I would have preffered ATI putting DVI-I on their chipset instead of DVI-D. Guess it's time to upgrade monitors.

Pros: These little babies have brought new life to my old garage system. I have an HP pavilion a1022n with an athlon 64 3400, and a radeon x800 running dual 19" monitors, I play WoW on one while running about 10 tabs of Firefox including Pandora radio on the other (alot to ask from an old system I know) and I've been lagging in WoW while loading a web page or new song previously. Not with these installed, now it runs like I hoped it would, posting good frame rates while surfing seamlessly, I'm a very happy camper, this upgrade made me reconsider getting a multicore system in the garage for the time being. low latencies, lifetime warranty, nifty looking heat spreaders, definitely suggested

Cons: you can buy 4 gigs of ddr2 for the same price of 2 gigs of ddr these days, but what can you expect, all the manufacturers are moving on to ddr3 now.

Overall Review: I don't write many reviews, wouldn't bother if I thought this was just so-so, excellent product, really revived my system and saved me some cash in not replacing everything.
