ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Everything seems to work. Good price

Cons: none

Overall Review: I've got 6 SSD's, 16 GB ram, and a full sized video card. Seems to handle everything well

Pros: none

Cons: received 2 DOA boards. thought i would take a chance on refurbished. Never again.

Overall Review: kudos to new egg for their return policy . I expected better than this from ASUS.

Pros: Works, Allowed me to use older Althlon || X4 but upgrade to DD3, SATA 6GB and USB3. Also leaves me a upgrade path. =) eat that intell.

Cons: None that I can think of

Overall Review: Was nervous about it being refurbished but I havent had a problem. Knew if it didnt work Newegg would take care of me. Not sure what Ill do with this PC this winter when I upgrade but it's better to have to many options then not enough. AMD Fan Boy and proud of it.

Pros: great motherboard runs my 8350 well and the bios allows for smooth clean overclocks

Cons: not a con just an update had to reinstall windows upon purchase

Overall Review: when is says usb 3.0 you still need to purchase an adapter for your front ports i just didnt realize this when i purchased it

Pros: Very good price. Plenty of features. BIOS is easy to upgrade. Go to the ASUS webpage and download their upgrade program and the BIOS update. Use the program and select the option to update from a file, selecting the BIOS update you downloaded. By default it will be in your download folder as a CAD file.

Cons: The box came untapped, however, the motherboard package itself was sealed.

Pros: Nice running board. cool colors, runds with my six core beautifly.

Cons: The only con is that i bought this board referbished and did not recieve a manual even tho it clearly says its included, didnt see fit to drop an egg just because of that tho.

Pros: -plenty of USB ports -Fast NB & SB -Holds in my big meaty heat Sink & fan -still runs like a champ, had it for over a year -Easy to use Expansion bays...esp the PCI x16! -plenty of SATA ports -Energy efficient if thats your thing -Great Over-colockable BIOS

Cons: - A little rugged when it comes to the stand-off holes -kinda not a con, but didn't come with any SATA cables NONE others!!!

Overall Review: -Would highly reccomend for those on a budget -Works great with a FX 4350 quad core 4.2

Pros: Good for the price, plenty of features. I was even surprised that it came with SATA cables which was a nice bonus. Much faster than my old Biostar mobo.

Cons: None.
