Good motherboard so far!

Pros: On board diagnostic lights, Price, Plenty of extra features through software, Free Shipping. Velcro cable strap.
Cons: It seems small and cramped to me. my heatsink/fan is almost touching my ram and the fan on my video card is almost touching the p55. When I say almost I mean I couldn't stick a flat head screwdriver between them. My power cable to the processor is stretched to the max.. The PCI express locking tabs are cheap,soft plastic and one snapped upon me moving it ever so slightly. So it looses an egg, but I'd buy another one.
Overall Review: Someone else said this board is picky about memory placement, but I was still left scratching my head for a few minutes. It wouldn't boot up the first time with 2 sticks of ram, no matter what configuration I used. Finally I was able to get it to boot with one stick. Then I added the second stick and it worked fine. USE THE ORANGE SLOTS FIRST. The onboard diagnostic lights were helpful. I don't overclock but there are plenty of features to do so. I sent biostar an email with a question and they responded within 12 hours, Kudos to them. core i7-860 2.8 this board Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ 8GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) HD 4670 Radeon-Saphire Rosewill Green Series RG700-S12 700W
Good Drive, It worked.

Pros: Price, Silent. It's a Hard drive. runs cool
Cons: Doesn't make breakfast?
Overall Review: I'm new to the new systems. I got windows 7, 8 gigs of ram and an i7 2.8 the hard drive has a "windows experience" of 5.9 out of 7.9 is that normal? Anyway. I love WD. I don't know why I bother trying other brands, they die. I have 2 WD drives from 03 still running like a charm.
