return to competitin

Pros: price and performance.
Cons: not the fastest chip availible
Overall Review: i have it clocked at 3.6 @ 1.4 volts. it can definetaly go higher if i want it to. At this speed it is as fast as QX9650 at stock speeds. Isnt this why we buy a cheaper cpu and overclock it. to reach high dollar cpu speeds at lower prices?
lame

Pros: runs good when it runs
Cons: I have to rma this board for a second time. After entering the bios board will turn on for 2 seconds then off. I have to turn off then on power supply many times before it will work again. I dont even have to change any settings to cause this issue.
works good for me

Pros: runs all my games at max settings
Cons: none so far
trouble

Pros: Runs good when it runs
Cons: Had to RMA first one. It would run for 2 seconds and turn off. The new one does the same thing if i change any settings in the bios. I get it to work again after resetting cmos and multiple un plugging PSU and hitting the on button. i have never had trouble with a mobo like i have had with this one.
good drive

Pros: plays Bluray and HDDVD. i have yet to burn a bluray
Cons: price
Be cautious

Pros: Very good cooling properties. Price
Cons: It started leaking in an aparent crack in the radiator. Luckily i caught it before it caused any harm.
Overall Review: Good thing i bought it at newegg. I will be getting it re- placed through newegg RMA process. I would like to caution any of you to purchase some non conductive fluid for your liquid cooling setup
