Pros: Retired this bad boy last June, but still fully functional after 9 years of daily use. Would have loved to turn this into a freenas, but power consumption just isn't worth it.

Cons: None

Pros: Excellent Motherboard still going strong after 9 + years, semi retired now to a TV-hometheater-kids homework machine in the Kitchen, but still play a little Counterstrike Go with the old girl once in a great while with me Paddy, lol
Overclocks well still stable with an Intel Xeon processor running it at 3.5 GHZ with 6 gb of ram and a R7 250 GDDR 5 Vision Tek 2 gb. All bought from Newegg.

Cons: Its Old, but it happens.

Pros: Loved this motherboard,but fixing to retire it.

Cons: none

Pros: Great board overclocks my Q6600 with ease

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Intel Q6600 overclocked to 3.0 8GB ram 64GB SSD 2 750GB WD Black in Raid 0 300GB sata 9800 GTX+

Pros: Its a great motherboard with decent features... can run Osx 86, runs Ubuntu great... and Xp works fine

Cons: I think it might be a little behind the times, it doesn't have the pci express x16 2.0 so you might run into some problems with that, and no sli.

I had a problem with a bios update and had to rma, When i got it back wouldn't dual boot windows/osx86 anymore :(

Other Thoughts: Runs great, i have a e7200, 8600gt runs older games fine.

Pros: Great Price point, rock solid while it works, supports quad cores.....

Cons: North Bridge heatsink is very tall and only a passive cooler. It runs hot and might interfere with large after market heatsinks.

I had one of these in my system for about a year and it was running perfectly fine. So good I bought one for another build I was doing. Two months after I delivered the second rig, the board died. I tested it with my identical board and RMA'ed back to DFI. Got that board back and everything was fine. Then mine died. Nothing changed in the system. I reset the BIOS, swapped RAM, PSU, video card, and processor and the thing will not POST.

Other Thoughts: Screw it, I'm done with DFI. I bought a Gigabyte board to replace it. DFI's lanparty boards look nice but are WAY to expensive, and seeing how their middle of the road board (this one) isn't reliable I don't see me buying from them again.

Pros: Good solid board with a lot of features for the price.

Cons: The board would only recognize 1 stick of my Gskill memory. I know all the memory was good since it just came out of a working system. I was able to get to bios with one stick and tweaked the mem voltage. By default, the mem voltage was at 1.93. My memory is 1.8 - 1.9. Once I set the mem voltage to 1.85, all four sticks worked fine and has been rock solid. This is a potential huge issue because if one of my memory sticks would not have worked, I would have been dead in the water and RMA.

Also, there are no beep code guides.

I got a constant beeping (multiple steady beeps).

Other Thoughts: Being a little more compatible with the memory by backing down the voltage a bit might prevent some RAM issues from people who get stuck by not being able to get to the bios.

Provide better troubleshooting and beep codes.

Pros: - very stable so far
- leaves potential for upgrades
- good price

Cons: - no SLI

Other Thoughts: A good friend of mine recommended this product. Works great, and leaves room for upgrades later.
