Solid Board, Great Overclocking Features

GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This is a solid board; work great. The BIOS has great features for overclocking. Currently running a Core i7 920 at 2.92Ghz (3Ghz when Turbo kicks in) on the stock intel cooler, and everything works great. Also, the Dual BIOS feature is nice. It'll fall back to the secondary BIOS to boot if it fails with your settings so you can change it back. Also, just in case it wont boot, the BIOS Reset button on the back is very convenient. BTW, the button isn't easily pushed by accident, so no worries there.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Always make sure you watch the temp when overclocking. Mine has gotten up to 86c at 100% cpu load with stock cooler at 2.92Ghz (3Ghz Turbo). I need to get a better cooler for overclocking.

KWorld ATSC-110 Digital / Analog HDTV Tuner

Pros: It works without issues on WinXP using the software that comes with it.

Cons: It is not compatible with the WinXP Media Center application. If you are looking to put a tuner card in you Media Center then stay clear of this one.
