Pros: Rock solid, great layout, overclockers dream!! TONS of BIOS options, extremely easy overclocking for both beginners and advanced users. CPU level up makes overclocking a breeze. For example, a Q9550 user can choose to lever up their CPU to Q9650 or 9750 without any worries. This board will adjust FSB and voltage accordingly. Includes a "crazy" Level up option, which made my q9550 run at 3.5 at 412Mhz bus, which also OC'd my GSkill DD2 800 up to 1050 with 5-5-5-15 2T timings @ 2.15V Everything was done on Auto, just by using CPU level up. CMOS reset button is right on the back panel, resets only the option that you changed last. Onboard power and reset buttons are a nice touch, let you test out your system without hooking up the front panel buttons. Aftermarket heatsink and fan fit without a problem. Plenty of USB ports, LCD poster displays time and information/ alerts.

Cons: Pricey, compared to some other X48 boards, but well worth it. Not really a con, but if used with Wolfdale or Yorksfield CPU's, a BIOS upgrade to 410 is a MUST before overclocking. Otherwise it will not be stable.

Overall Review: Northbridge runs kinda hot, so does Southbridge, but that seems to be the case with all the new board. Was able to run my q9550 at 3.67 with 432 bus (1728 FSB), seems to be the limit for this board, afterwards it started clocking backwards.. I think that's more then enough for a quad-core though... Overall awesome board, 5 Eggs!!! if you got the money, buy it!! You won't regret it!!

Pros: Solid card, runs almost anything you throw at it maxed out. Great framerates, no studdering. Power requirements not too steep, and doesn't heat up as my as my previous 8800GTX, stays at about 40c idle, and under gaming COD5 gets to about 68C with Auto fan, set the fan to 60%(not too loud btw) and temps drop to 57-60C which is very good considering I have this card running at 705mhz core, 2646Mhz memory(basically SSC speeds) Overclocking is a dream, had it at 750mhz core running stable, but it heated up to 85C under heavy gaming, so I tuned it down. EVGA overclocking utility is a nice addition, monitors GPU temp, gives you full fan control, Core, Shader and Memory overclocking options, BTW, Core and Shader clocks can be unlinked and overclocked seperately which is a nice touch. The fan is not too loud, but clearly noticible when you turn it up to 80%.

Cons: None! exept the size, but what do you expect. Make sure you have enough room in the case before you buy, otherwise it wont fit. Also there's a vent on the side of the card, which blows out hot air into the case.

Overall Review: On Board SPDIF audio output for HDMI, HDMI adapter included. Two 6-pin PCI-E power connectors which is great for people with older power supply's. Evga Lifetime warranty is great, never had a problem with them, make sure you register withing 30 days. Came with Call of Duty 5 game, nice bonus even tho the game isn't that good, I'm sticking with Modern Warfare.

Pros: This card is awesome. Kills my previous 8800GTS by 15-20FPS. Runs everything you throw at it. Nice software bundle. Overclocks nicely, be sure not to use Asus software to overclock, otherwise it will crash to a blue screen.

Cons: Huge, Barely stuffed it into my ATX. Runs hot!! 69C idle, with no overclock and fan at 99%!! Under full load reaches over 90C. (Nvidia says it's normal) anyway, be sure to get an aftermarket cooler if you plan to overclock. BTW, temps change only a few degrees when I overclocked from 575/900 to 615/1000.

Overall Review: Using Riva tune, reached 635/2150 with no problem. With stock fan, temps went up to 80C idle, went up to 118C while playing Oblivion.(LOL) Upgraded to Thermalake cooler and 90mm fan, temps don't go over 82C under full load while overclocked. If you are on a budget, you should get this card, it easily reaches the speeds of 8800 ULTRA for about $300 less.

Pros: Great PSU, total works good with X6800 and 8800GTX on a i680 board. no stability issues even with overclocking. Total of 36A on 12V rail is enough to power 8800GTX, but not SLI, as soon as you start up a game, crashes. The 8800GTX needs at least 32A on 12V so no wonder it crashed. Good Value, the Turbo mode is a nice touch. Good cable management. SATA power is long enough to reach anywhere on an ATX case.

Cons: Took off one star because this thing is pretty loud for a PSU. plus turbo mode kicks in as soon as the CPU reaches 30 degrees, and will speed up all of your case and fans up to about 80%. I had to put in a Fan Controller because my PC sounded like a jet.

Overall Review: .....

Pros: Good board if you don't need SLI, awesome overclocking options, especially the Unlinked Overclocking where you can OC your processor without touching the Ram or PCI-E bus.

Cons: No cooling on Southbridge, but no biggie.

Overall Review: I would recommend adding a small heatsink to the Southbridge chip, unless you have adequate case cooling (at least Three 120mm fans and an air flow of 60-70CFM.

Pros: This ram is Amazing, I was able to OC up to 1066Mhz on 680i mobo with 4-4-4-15 timings and 2.35V. Ran Orthos for 6 hours without a problem. If you are planing to overclock, and your motherboard doesn't support "Unlinked" overclock, BUY THIS now, you will be able to OC your processor to its limit, this memory won't be holding you back!

Cons: NONE!

Overall Review: Newegg is awesome, got this kit in just 2 days after ordering!
