Pros: Love this mobo. Bunch of features and easy Bios settings. Easy to OC with the Asus software. Solid build.

Cons: Had to manually change the memory speed. Easy enough though. not worth an egg.

Overall Review: Initially had issues booting up. Memory Check light was blinking...After a little testing, uncovered it was my old power supply cables - I was just lazy, and didn't want to unpack new ones. Replaced those with new ones and all is well.

Pros: Its fast (no need to get the 1600) can be oc'd. Price is great.

Cons: Out of 4 sticks got one with an error. New egg RMA'd it and the new ones work great. Make sure you test the memory.

Pros: Fast, and cheap compared to Intel high end CPU's.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Very easy to OC, however I went back to stock 4.0 speed, as it is able to handle anything I can throw at it. Keeping it cooled with H70 - under 100% load @ 45C max. Idles at 30C

Pros: Price! 1gig, hdmi port, on board audio with HDMI... huge fan on it.

Cons: it is big/long, but i don't think you will find a "compact" 5850, or anything similar.

Overall Review: Runs pretty cool (compared to my old 880gtx) about 36c idle and 50ish under full load - this is with bad cable management and sitting right next to a sound card. It handled everything i could manage to throw at it - I am getting another one soon.

Pros: Works as advertised... usb 3.0, sata 6Gbs ... new amd 890 chipset ... great price

Cons: PCIe x16 slot on the bottom of the card, so if you want the x16 bandwidth you have to place the GPU there and get really close to your sata ports, and in my case to the sound card. My 5850 is huge and while i have 2mm of space between the GPU and sound card the GPU is still running cool.

Overall Review: If you are running crossfire you are fine, if you place a single PCIex16 card in the top slot you will get x8 bandwith max - which could mean a little bit of performance drop. One egg off.

Pros: Allready wrote a review but i have to give it props again. Handle anything on max specs, as far as older games like oblivion/stalker/fear I am limited only by my lcd's resolution, Also played world in conflict beta on ultra high and never ever did it slow down. IMHO best card ever made. Cant wait for crysis and Age of Conan to come out!

Cons: I have my sound card sitting 1 slot away from 8800 and was a bit worried about it acting like a heat sink, but with 3 fans in case this baby is staying pretty cool even after few hours on heavy load. So i guess only potential con is size/heat if you plan on SLI setup.
