Pros: this is a refurb card. for a mid size or smaller case it is a very good fit. the card has held it's own with all that I have thrown at it benchmarking and video editing software and not one hic up. I had to download nvidiainspector so I could speed up the fan, even in 3dmark the temp never went over 45C

Cons: not any that I saw

Other Thoughts: for the price and for what I am going to use it for, it well worth it, Will it play the newest game's at high setting I do not think so, is it good money spent I think so

Pros: I will not go into why I came back to this M/B, but what I think of this one. The layout is good with enough room to plug in what you want, the bios is easy to move around in and set what ever you want to do. Overclocking is very easy to do and M/B responds well even if you mess up, it saw the memory at its rated speed. An i5 3570K is in it with 8gigs corsair and evga GTX 650 2gig video card. It has held it's own with all the benchmarking and video editing programs that i ran on it.

Cons: If you need extra internal usb 3 conectors this M/B falls short, also some box's came a speaker some did not if your case does not have one and if you are like myself if you have something go wrong those beeps are very helpful. The floppy connector use's up space that can go to better use

Other Thoughts: THIS M/B is very good, my issue is with the company I had to rma 3 boards for different issues. The staff at newegg was wonderful in helping me with these issues. THIS M/B is good but it is a hit or miss with this company
