Pros: Stable as a rock at 297Mhz. It's everything I could want in a mb. The layout is Excellent! RAM runs 297Mhz. As close to 1 to 1 as possible.Have a EVGA 6800GS 525core 1118Mhz ram, With an Artic Freezer 64 Pro, it runs 29C even with heavy downloads and installs.Will be online COD2 tonight.IT's the only mb I have that recognized 600Mhz ram from the first boot.
Cons: At first, I was having the exact sawe problems as the previous reviewer,almost RMA'ed it. Then I figured it out, had the large Gigabyte cooler with the 110mm fan.The problem was that the cooler wasn't going down all the way, it looked like it was, it felt tight. The black plastic piece around the cpu socket is too tight for some coolers to make adequate contact with the Athlon. I was taken mine apart to RMA it after a very frustrating evening. I was barely able to get the cooler off the board! It was incredably hard to remove. I thought, "you don't suppose this this wasn't making proper contact with the cpu to cool it". Then I put on the Artic. Bingo! That fixed it completely!!! Also had to download new bios in order to get enough voltage on the cpu so it could run 297Mhz. It doesn't like 300Mhz. So now I have Sempron 3100(Which is really cheap) running 2.673Ghz. It really performs!!!
Overall Review: Watch how your cooler fits. Oh Hell , just run the Artic Freezer 64 Pro. I running almost 2700Mhz at 28-29C. That is cool on air Oh yeah, buy all your stuff from NEWEGG!
