Pros: Fired up no problems with Core I7 940 CPU, Gskill 1333 triple channel memory kit. Overclocks extremely well. Cooling this baby off with a Noctua NH-U12P Heatsink. Best heatsink I have ever owned. Great board, lots of options. The OC Palm is fun to mess around with.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I would recommend this board for the new Core I7. All reviews on this board are excellent and now with my own personal experience, I would agree with them.

Pros: New build fired up no problems with Asus P6T motherboard & G.Skill triple channel memory kit (1.5v) CPU is fast and seems to overclock very well. Newbies need to keep their mem voltage at 1.65v or lower for a long lasting build.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Great value & performance. Bought 2 of these cards to run crossfire and it works great. Can run Crysis at very high settings with no lag. First ATI card I ever purchased. My old card was a 8800GTS overclocked version. Hope Nvidia is taking notice and will now lower their outragous prices.

Cons: Runs hot, but fixed that problem in the Catalyst Control center by creating a new profile and setting fan speed to 30 percent. Card now runs 45-50C

Overall Review: System: Asus Maximus Formula, Intel QX9650, Gskill DDR2 800, 2 western digital velicore 300 HD, Silverstone 850W PS, Lian case, 2 ASUS DVD writers.
