Pros: Single SATA 6g port. USB 3.0. Dual monitor support. GigE LAN. For a workstation build (no gaming) this board is the bees knees! No need for any Add ons.

Cons: One one SATA 6g port. Two would be awesome for raid 0.

Pros: it works in safe mode...

Cons: Once I installed the driver, it would endlessly blue screen/reboot my machine. Putting in the old video card and the computer works again. Figured I'd give this a shot since i've had good luck with recertified stuff, but this was not a good decision.

Overall Review: Probably a good card if it would work. Maybe they should test the refurbished cards a bit better before re-selling them.

Pros: no clue, doesn't work.

Cons: Can't imagine that on July 19, 2018 one of these boards isn't flashed with a BIOS that supports 7th Gen CPUs so I find it hard to believe that's why this board won't start. I've built hundreds of PCs in my life...very disappointed in this board as I love it's feature set for the price.

Pros: solid board, lots of features.

Cons: Took me forever to find Windows x64 drivers for the embedded LSI card. Ended up finding some on Dell's website for a different card with the same chipset. http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/noindex/Dell/SAS_SATA_6G_P15/9207_8i_Package_P15_IT_Firmware_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows_PR.zip

Pros: my go to RAM has always been Kingston. These chips are always used in workstation builds and I've never had one go bad yet!

Cons: wish the price of DRAM would start coming down again. Miss the days of $40 8GB packs.

Pros: great CPU for business workstations. That's what I purchase them for. Graphics are plenty solid to handle most video streaming clients may encounter, even HD YouTube feeds. As far as gaming, get a dedicated card.

Cons: it's not cheaper?
