Pros: It's got a PCI slot...

Cons: Well I got this board and I had a problem with it not detecting my ssd's or my HDD's. I put all said drives into another computer and all worked fine. Aside from just a bad board I mite have received there were other things that were bad. I had 2 sticks of 2gb corsair ram from my old computer they were completely incompatible with the board. My two older 1gb sticks worked fine with the board.
With the "gaming" motherboard they produced we as gamers use big GPU's. My 660 TI that has a back plate on it. It was so close to the DIMM slots that I had to remove my GPU to get any stick of ram out of it. If you had a large PCU cooler on the board there is a chance it would overhang the first maybe second DIMM slot. I also seen pics of this on the internet. I did not order low profile ram so I lucked out even though my large ram blocked a portion of my CPU coolers fan. The little bit that I did get it to run the bios was poorly setup and was really messy hard to find things in it.

Other Thoughts: I ordered this board because they praised the reliability and hardiness of the board which I was looking for. But this had to been the worst board I have ever worked with. Why would anybody make a design with all the stuff on the board PCI-E and DIMM crammed on top of the processor. I even seen a pick of a GPU overhanging the SATA ports on the back if you have more than one card in it. After my RMA I just got a refund and I will not be buying Elite group anything anymore. I replaced it with a ASUS HERO board have not received it yet but looks promising.

Pros: This is a great card!!! I have used it for almost 2 years with no problems. Runs all game i have ever thrown at it at full settings. If i built another system i would totally get another one.

Cons: The card runs hot. Not a big deal just seems like the nature of the beast.
