decent once you get past tweaking

Pros: Of course price, used with x3 athlon, more just a build for fun as back up to quad core
Cons: How many times did i install, 4 or 5 times, previous person mentioned about updating to sp2, that helps a lot, however the KEY was to FORCE it to look at OTHER tv in some of the setting a bit surprised i had to do that, have NEVER had this kind of hassle with one, but had to do more than a little research and reading, i think you get more than what you pay for but you have to open the hood and play with the fuel injection
Overall Review: Had to reset and go back to previous restore, not sure if that cost me back to sp1, but got back to sp2, MAYBE my fault on a load or two but took five times, got more than 4 bit finally, then next boot up reverted back to 4 bit "warhol" graphics, anyway the key i think is to FORCE it in setting to look for other tv??? , i requested an rma, so i hope next two weeks it is finally robust,, my opinion, a little more seasoned builder to play and tweak this, but thinking of ordering another for basic build for 12 year old nephew
extremely disappointed and stuck

Pros: would run great as long as didnt use it,,, and just watched it ,, still have a 5400be in box was going to use this motherboard on,,, may try when i want to torture myself again,, i have a 200 dollar intel mb lying around ill just order a 7300 chip or a 6000 series quad that ive had wonderful builds and performance, grats to those that got it stable,,,
Cons: my mechanical engineering degree and mba/tech,, and 10 plus system builds couldnt overcome extremely instability at stock, AND artic silver is great and chip was ruined taking it out of the socket.. and just hit the 30 day limit on return
Overall Review: i think im done with the athlon and foxconn line,, have other foxconn boards in quad and dual cores but this one id rather have sacrificed the board rather than ruin the chip,, out 200 dollars,,, looked great on paper and from reviews
Worked just fine

Pros: Plugged right in and helped me save an i5 2405S with a mobo that had only one output (HDMI), wife will use with multiple screens for teaching secondary school online. All outputs workable. Short form helped installation in a Thermaltake, LAN BOX, too bad they do not sell this model anymore (with the built in heavy duty body length handle)
Overall Review: I have been buying motherboards and video cards of Gigabyte lately, and so far so great.
delivered quickly

Pros: Probably would work fine if knew where to get AC adapter. UPDATE may need to exchange cables or try on different devices to find sweet spot on what may or may not work. I upgraded an egg from 3.
Cons: SURPRISED swapping out with existing basic push button 2 option push switch, it does NOT work. apparently wants a 5V hookup, which is NOT supplied. Where to find that, who knows, so out the cost of two quarter pounders with cheese meals. I would have probably gotten Dr. Pepper for those interested. SO buyer beware.
Overall Review: May get different results depending if trying to use between computers to monitor (did work) or from other item (DVR/TIVO) to switch to TV (haven't got to work yet)
Like the size, wish a bit sturdier

Pros: Case management a plus, with ability to secure two SSD on other side of right inner panel. Air flow is very good (when you add the fans like i did)
Cons: A bit plasticy, surprised the power supply needs to face down. Be sure to use a good front fan as the non-SSD cage at the top has no opening for the enclosure, and first testing to boot even with a minute allowed heat to build up i could have defrosted a steak quickly. Front fan running allowed for a much more reasonable temperature. (note as the out of box comes only with rear facing fan in back, i added one to front, and two to top) ONLY gripe the undercarriage filter for air at the power supply has a tab located on it, WELL IT DID, took me only 30 minutes to apparently get that caught when tilting the tower and snapping it off, lucked out had i not known i did it, and inspecting the case make up before i would have probably not have noticed the 90 degree tab had broken off)
Overall Review: I like the ease of building i liked my routing not being so cramped, as some thermaltake lan boxes (very sturdy), of which the two different models (i have gotten in the past), seem to be out of stock now for new-egg, one version had awesome handle on top in middle running length of box) This mid-size case suited my purpose, i would just liked to have had some airvent holes on the TOP of the hard disc cage.
Fired right up first try.

Pros: The SATA ports straight up, as opposed to side 90 degree on ROG board, that in a smaller case killed using a case for two more hard drives in a thermaltake build. Online pin connections detailed well online.
Cons: Booklet is four pages lol, but online helped identify pin connections. I like ROG user interface better but haven't explored too much yet. Usually we are reluctant to change so that is my first impression, just have to get used to a new version.
Overall Review: I bought two of these for build in case one did not work, but first go round booted up fine. Looking to add another i5 to a case where an athlon sata connectons were coming off in a thermaltake lan box. Very pleased no issues, but did my homework. Reasonably priced, which is also part of my decision to buy two.
