Real nice board

Pros: Very good layout. Stable. Hi-tech power section. Better suited for water cooling than ASUS. Serious overclocker.
Cons: Dont install Nvidia network access manager. wrong BIOS temp readings.
Overall Review: Make sure you have a good PSU. Change setting for correct PCIE 16 slot in BIOS. Use Core Temp for CPU temp reading. I have it running on 4 other systems & it is withen 1 degree of Speedfan on all. Using 2 sticks G.Skill F2-6400PHU-HZ RAM. 2.1v in Orange slots. works excelent. Scythe SCNJ 1100P cooler, Scythe 120 bay cooler & 120 in rear all line up & I'm running at 31 idle & 37 full load. No issues with this cooler on this board, no problem with RAM access. I have no fans plugged into board. All running from fan controller. Save your board by doing this. QUIET. Still playing with all the BIOS settings on this board. WOW. XFX 7900GS Extreme, Athlon 3500. Saving up for Opteron 1218.
DVI-D not DVI

Pros: Easy install, No driver issues. Fine card for avarage gaming. Passive cooling for low noise. NEWEGG got this to my door a day early!
Cons: Has VGA, RCA, & DVI-D. DVI-D not DVI. Would not work with two of my monitor.
Overall Review: If you foresee having to buy an additional adaptor to connect your monitor, you may be able to upgrade to a faster card for the same amount of money. I could have. My fault for not reasearching enough.

Pros: It's XP.
Cons: It's XP. Price.
Overall Review: Arrived on time. Came with Vista upgrade discount. I'll wait awile for driver/software support & let em work on the bugs befere installing Vista.
Works good, Looks good

Pros: Works good. Looks good. Good materials. Housing & grill are metal. not plastic.
Cons: You will have to unscrew housing from case & unscrew Fan from housing to clean filter. Small screws may be a pain for some.
Overall Review: Lines up perfect with Scyrh SCNJ 1100P & rear fan in my case for killer air cooling. DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G Athlon 3500+ G.SKILL F2-6400 PHU2-2GBHZ Antec NEO480, XFX 7900GS Extreme 2X WD SE16 250GB, SB X-Fi Gamer Enermax case, XP Home.
