Pros: ease of use, highly overclockable. All of teh features I need. Great price, as good of a board as any hundred dollar more 680i.

Cons: lack of proper cooling: no SB heatsink(Zalman NB32J works nice), I added a 60mm fan to the NB, just screw in between the fins.

Overall Review: Dont let the reviews fool you, this is a great board for the price. Yes you have to manually input many of the bios settings, big deal. People shouldnt give this board a low rating simply because of DOA, this happens with alot of products not just this board in particular. Bios 0401 is the most stable. I am happy with my purchase.
