Great Board
Pros: Crossfire, NB heatsink is working good had to put a fan on it to keep it cool. Overclocks like a champion. DFI makes some of the best boards for overclocking.
Cons: People that leave bad reviews because they do not know what the h$#@ they are doing.
Overall Review: I have this in a antec 900 case with a Q6600 cpu and 4gigs of Gskill 1066 memory running at (cpu 3.25GHZ) (memory 1100) 2-4850 ATI video cards in crossfire and this thing runs everything maxed out no lag at all. 3d mark 06 scores at 17,820. I play crysis on very high 30 to 45 fps CODMW 90 to 110 fps unreal3 runs at unreal fps. If you are reading this then buy it now. It is the best X38 board out there. IMO,, LOVE DFI BOARDS
Worst MB that Ive gotten from ASUS
Pros: Ive used ASUS MB for a lot over the years. The last 3 Ive used were a nightmare.
Cons: Onboard sound crackles and cuts out, Ive tried different drivers that it came with and downloaded from the ASUS website. All of them with same results. The onboard lan never worked drivers from ASUS web site would not install, giving me error that no lan port was available for the drivers to install. Updated the Bios thinking maybe that was the problems with sound and lan port. Still same results. Installing a sound card and Ethernet card was the only thing that would fix it. After using it for a week I was getting I/o errors. That was it boxed it backup and got a RMA from Newegg. Bought an MSI MB and havent looked back.
Overall Review: I cannot recommend this board. Ive used ASUS MB over the years for my builds without any problems. The last 3 boards from ASUS have been bad. ASUS needs better quality control.
Great MB.
Pros: Bought an ASUS MB gaming plus and It never ran right. Kept giving me errors when I was trying to set it up. I have no Cons with my MSI MB booted up on the first try and has been running great since. Ive used both MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte MB. Mainly ASUS boards. The last 3 ASUS Ive setup went bad right away or within a couple weeks.
Cons: I have no Cons with this MB, easy to setup and just works great.
Overall Review: I will be buying more MSI MB. This has been a joy setting up and get it running. Easily OCs my Intel 11900K chip and runs cool at the same time.
Great Motherboard, Tuff and just works
Pros: Has 4 memory slots, Lots of options in BIOS. Great all around socket 1200 MB from MSI. This is my second MB. Bought 1 in 12/31/20 & another on 1/12/21
Cons: No cons for MSI MB. Cons are for UPS shipping. Ordered first board 12/31/20 it got here and works with no problems. Ordered the second MB on 1/12/21 and it arrived within a smashed wet box that smelled like perfume. The box was completely smashed and soaking wet with perfume smell even the manual book was dripping wet still. The MB box fell apart once I got MB and all parts out of it. I quickly set it up to make sure everything works. For now everything works great. It comes with a 3 year warranty from MSI but now I have no MB box from MSI to send it back in if it fails before the 3 year warranty is up. Still after looking at box it was shipped in, I can't believe it works at all.
Overall Review: Another great Motherboard from MSI. Been using MSI for the last several years for motherboards that I build for friends and family have not had any problems with any of them. Thanks MSI & Newegg
Great Memory
Pros: Works out of the package. Been using it for a couple of days now with no problems. Crucial memory has always been good for me.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I would defiantly recommend this to anybody that is looking to upgrade to more memory. Have 32gb's in my main laptop now. Really notice the difference that it makes. All of my auto-cad programs work alot faster thanks to this upgrade.
Great seat cushion
Pros: Works great for me. Comfy cushion, I sit almost 8 to 9 hrs a days & this cushion keeps my tail from going to sleep.
Cons: No Cons, it just works.
Overall Review: Highly recommend this to others that have to sit at desk for long periods of the day.
Super fast shipping
Ordered it 5 days before Christmas hoping I would get it here by then. Item arrived within two days before Christmas. Exactly as described. Came in a decorative box.
