Pros: - Stable (8x2 VRM) - Very Overclockable - Alot of Onboard Features not found on other FM1 motherboards - Highest Quality onboard Sound on FM1 boards

Cons: - Older style BIOS (Non Graphical, very minor) - Onboard video is all or nothing for external connections when not set as primary or in crossfire mode. I have a Nvidia Graphics card and can't use on board HDMI unless I get a 6670 for Crossfire or just use onboard video. - Packaged software from Gigabyte is buggy, though it's not required and not a huge issue.

Overall Review: I have been very happy with this motherboard. I bought two (one for me, one for wife) and have had a pleasant experience. My wife is using the onboard video from A8-3870K and that plays most of her games with no issues. I was able to easily overclock the chip/memory/video for some extra performance using the Gigabyte software.

Pros: I have been very please with this motherboard. It's stable, has plenty of connections, and substantial features.

Cons: Old Style BIOS, ugly boot screen

Pros: I used this fan to cool my Google TV and although it has proven reliable it's obviously super cheaply made. It is very quiet, and pretty much unaudible.

Cons: The fan isn't super strong but it should be enough for most devices.

Pros: Easy to install, low power card that can power most modern games without killing your wallet. No problems thus far.

Cons: Only thing I could think of for the price would be to include additional connectivity options like a second DVI but I was able to use a hdmi - dvi adapter to accomplish same task.

Pros: Board has alot of features, and in several reviews was rated either 1st or 2nd in P35 chipset performance. I probably won't use the Access Point, but it's a nice feature to have. Instructions were great and board seems stable.

Cons: Bios EEPROM chip is sautered on the board so you have to be extra careful when updating the bios or you'll have to RMA the whole board. Compatability issue between Creative X-FI sound cards and this MB causes a loud buzzing noise. Can be fixed by disabling card in device manager, and then enabling again. This fix works until you reboot.

Overall Review: Use EZ Flash in bios or a floppy disk to update the Bios, not the windows utility. There is little room from edge of PCI-E card slot and memory/sata connections. Everything fit but it was tight. I would buy this board again!!
