Pros: Its a great board. So far works right out of the box. It runs cool and express gate is great! No issues with Quad Core Q6600 either. Make sure you find out which RAMs will works. Been hearing some people had problems cause they didnt use a Ram on the list. Just go to the Asus site and download the manual, the list is in there. I'm using the Corsair Dominator 4 Gb (2x2). Will update review after some time.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The review before mine says the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Item=N82E16835186134, didnt fit, BUT IT DOES... fits for me. It takes a bit of time to make sure it all clicks into place.

Pros: I loved it when I got it.. it did the work it had to do.

Cons: The fan. After 1 year, I notice my computer lagging which never happened before. Checked the temps and they were way up. The fan died on me. Ripped the fan portion off and sat a standard Lian Li fan on it which actually cooled much better then the fan that comes with it.

Overall Review: Just be beware of the fan. Other then that it works like a charm.

Pros: Quiet and works. Cheap for what it needs to do and I was happy with it but.....

Cons: started having issues with it after a year. And a Year and a half after I installed it.... the fan died. I notice my computer temps slightly going up. But a week before Thanksgiving I noticed something was defiantly wrong. My computer was super slow. So I opened the case with the comp still on, and everything seemed to be working fine. So I restarted my computer and thats when the fan wasnt registering... and died after the next restart.

Overall Review: I have an intel quad core - 6600q Kentsfield.

Pros: Sounds good. cheap. Was wonderful till it died.

Cons: Mic died suddenly 10 months after purchase. The speakers are fine though. I guess you get what you pay for.

Pros: NONE

Cons: It doesnt fit.... I have a RocketFish full tower case - basicly a Lian Li case, I bought this since it the same color as my case and it was cheap, Well.. it leaves a 3 mm gap around the whole thing. The fan doesnt even pull in enough air. I'm really disappointed in this.

Overall Review: going to have to spend more money now and just get the Lian Li PC-343B Fan module and a fan now.
