Pros: This board is built like a tank, key strokes aren’t too loud. Dual illumination is a nice feature along with the one USB 2.0 port on the keyboard. Played some Diablo III with good results, planning on Borderlands 2 this evening...

Cons: Poor quality control: out of box back lights on the key pad numbers flickered and never came back on. Have to box up and send back to Newegg...

Pros: knocked 7 to 10 deg of the idle temp and 6 to 11 deg off the load temp

Cons: Did not fit on my asus p5q deluxe without some mods to the mobo

Overall Review: Why do they make the pins so hard to snap in to place!

Pros: Good board, Bios update was painless works wonderfully with the Q9450 and 4gb of memory

Cons: Heat pipe is a bit obtrusive, maid AC 7 freezer pro a tough fit

Pros: Coming from a p4 I was blown away by the raw processing power and increased bandwidth that a new chip offers. Best 330 bucks I’ve spent!

Cons: None thus far
