Pros: Ok, i dunno where to start this is my second one and it appeared used when i recived it unlike the fist one that was shipped to me(read my other reveiw) Great running board 4 gig's ocz reaper ram runs fast. and at advertised speeds. I havent been able to test the hybrid feature as of yet but everything else worked great. Awesome motherboard

Cons: Price,The external lcd poster fitting wont snap into place like the manual says(no biggie).This is my second one i have got from newegg the first was mostlikely damaged in the shipping prosess,Im also very suspisous that maybe ASUS is sending newegg some used mother boards..Maybe returns from europe? seeing they got it there first? anyhow the motherboard looked like it had electrical spray ran all down the back side of it but i ran it anyway.Worked great for like 2 weeks then developed a odd system lagg that just seems to do it when ever it decides it wants to. north and south chipsets run little hotter than i would like it would have been nice for them to add the h2o cooling setup for them. missing item? i dont know but had a emty bag packed with all the other stuff in the box lokked like at one time it had something in it too. yet i have everything its advertised to come with lol. Overall this seems to be a really great motherboard for the time it worked well for me.

Overall Review: Im a little upset at newegg for getting a possibly used motherboard.not to mention the fact they could at least put FRAGILIE on the shipping box. I have spent alot of cash with newegg if things dont start being right the first time ima take my cash somewhere else (even if i pay more) for those experianceing slow boot time make sure you disable all the devices that you DONOT have in the bios it causes that at least for me it did. also you must configure the bios on this mother board before you run it or it wont run properly.after doing this im sure youll have a badboy i have been asus fan for years. but still someone is sending used equipment to custumers who pay retail price! That could end up being a costly mistake due to lawsuits ect. I hope my next motherboard from the egg is brand new. and works properly for more than a week or two. (1st mobo shippig damage)(2nd mobo seemed used worked well only 2 weeks) 3rd mobo? Is it my luck doing this? i wouldnt doubt it. Ima try this again RMA

Pros: Ohh how many times can i count my reviews here have been pirated.Ill be suprized if this gets posted. The reveiws you read on the items your interested in have controlled numbers of negitive feedback! PS.I think newegg gets the hand picked junk from the makers.Its the only way i can recive so many faulty items .

Cons: First one i had died.Im on the second one now.. I get the second one only to find after testing that it has a issue with my screen going black at any given time when it feels like it. Temps are well managed and low for air 60c water cooled cpu 1k watt 40 amp psu ?? why do i keep reciveing junk?

Overall Review: Its not my power supply or my mother board causeing my issues as i have tested this card in my second pc with the same result. man whats going on here i can take my pick of other online retailers and buy from them, the product i would recive wouldn't have issues. I have had multiple RMA's dealing with newegg.I now am stuck with sending it to EVGA for a replacement and they send me back a refurbished one. I cant seem to have a new product in my PC anymore sence shopping here. It would be nice if i could at least get something that works corectly from here.Its a shame.. the prices are great here just too bad all this isnt worth the hassle of warranty work by the manufacturer!! beware the flickering black screen!! corsair hx1000 psu asus crosshair 2 formula mobo OCz 1066 reaper ram 2x2 gb 9650be phenom cpu (soon to be the phenom II) (not from newegg) Im done with this place good luck to all you who hope to recive a good item!

Pros: Smooth gaming!! very slight jitter In Company of hero's with all settings maxed and 16x AA!! Not bad looking. Although it died still worth 5 eggs and i was shocked at the shipping speed from new egg very nice!

Cons: Made in china!!!!!!! Died in a week. The back side of this card exposes the main board of the card unlike the 280gtx I had this baby running for about a week then i wake up and go to turn my PC back on to pay some bills and bam no display!! The fan's on green lights on but nobody's home. I thought at first the temps it reached under full load was a bit too high but still with in spec's(91c) maybe it was a sign there was a issue with this card.During game play i never seen my temps reach over 70c.I'm sure this is a fluke as EVGA is top notch from my point of view. Still figured this was info you guys might want to know. P.S can someone else post the temps they get under furmark or full load?

Overall Review: ASUS Crosshair formula mobo corsair hx1000 psu (40amp rails x2) OCZ Reaper 1066 ram (2x2 gb) koolance exos external beer cooling system ;) antec 900 case razer copperhead mouse logitech G-15 keyboard samsung syncmaster 22'' lcd monitor (3rd replacement) :( seagate barracuda Es2 HDD x2 in raid 0 Vista 64 ultimate/XP pro 32 bit /ubuntu 64 (tri boot) 25$ sata dvd burner

Pros: Stunning colors and performance.Easy on the eyes. comes with a sweet game! They made a fix for boards like the asus crosshair where the capacitor inter feared.

Cons: 91+c under full load with low ambient!! (stock air cooler) Rear circuitry is exposed compared to the 280gtx Where the case covers it. They say this card uses less power than a GTX 280 THIS IS NOT TRUE!!

Overall Review: I had the ssc gtx 280 under furmark extreme burn mode and it ran fine no issues BUT put this GFX card in the same pc and when i clicked the start button with the same settings... poof!!! The computer shut down. Not the cards fault here but it does draw more power than the 280 gtx looks like my 20a 650 watt psu has met its match!! oddly i borrowed a psu from a buddy and it has the same 20a on the +12 rail but its 1000 watt and it runs this baby just fine. So basically if you don't have a 850+watt 20-40+ amp power supply you can plan on getting one once you add this component to your rigg. I'm kinda bummed at how hot it runs but hey it means it's doing something! Lookn to buy a water block when i can get one from here at the egg. I wonder why they say it takes less power to run than the GTX280? Still very pleased!!

Pros: Very fun game more fun than i thought! Free!

Cons: Buggy game.. I have already seen some gfx defects with the most resent patch. Game cd has to be in the drive. Needed patched and it was lil hard to find.

Overall Review: If you get this game be sure that you go to the cod5 home website to get the update!! I ran into this issue of trying to locate the update from a trusted source but found a trick.. If your at cod5 home page in the address bar just delete the last part behind the command line its like WAW or something then type in update instead it will load the right page. OR go to file front and search for it :)

Pros: Great card,Great price. Gets to your door fast.

Cons: Huge,Power hungry,Will not fit in the crosshair motherboard. 40 amp minimum requirement from the psu!!!

Overall Review: I recently bought this card for a system with the crosshair at the heart of the system.There is a capacitor on the motherboard that keeps the card from seating in the pci-e slot. If you do plan on getting this card be careful to watch out for this capacitor located to the rear of the slot next to the back of your case.Im sure its possible to physically damage the main board if it was forced into place. I just didn't feel comfortable with bending the capacitor out of the way so i made a RMA. (although it fits fine in the crosshair formula mobo.
