Pros: I've written an earlier post, and stated that you could not control CPU/RAM voltage--this is because MSI decided to screw everyone over by being extremely ambiguous. Read other thoughts.

Cons: I still can't control case fan speed. Solved by buying Antec's 120mm case fans with adjustable speed switches.

Overall Review: Instead of using -/+, use the Page Up/ Page Down buttons to change voltages. Happy overclocking boys!!

Pros: Got it for a cheap HTPC. Works just fine with E2160 OCed @ 2.5GHz, 2Gb PC6400 RAM and onboard(!) graphics. I was planning on getting Radeon HD2600 for HD video, but now I am not sure I really need it. Able to watch 720p & 1080p HD-rips on big screen TV, CPU usage is around 30-40%, MB and CPU temps is ~30 C with stock cooler. No problems with onboard sound and gigabit ethernet.

Cons: Don't bother with MSI utilities. Useless.

Overall Review: If you want to use onboard graphics with DVI/HDMI monitor, you will need an ADD2 DVI card for PCIe slot. Available online for 10 bucks.

Pros: It works now. Much faster than my old 4X agp P4 motherboard. On board usb & firewire headers are nice.

Cons: Lan did not work. Had to plug in a PCI network card - visit manufacturers website and update bios. Then the motherboard lan worked. Manufacturers bios update website was pretty user friendly. Was not too big of a hassle to get it to work.

Pros: I bought this board to replace the ASUS board that comes in most HP Media Centers - and still keep the same functionality. It performs GREAT. Good bang for the buck with 4 DDR slots, Firewire, eSATA, and support for 1333 CPUs. Drivers installed smoothly, and the install was near painless. Offers many options in the BIOS.

Cons: It only has 3 SATA on the board, not much of a problem because it is only a Micro ATX board anyways.

Overall Review: If looking to replace a micro ATX board to use a new C2D - this thing has everything you need!

Pros: I use these boards for Business use. From normal office stuff to CATIA CAD programs. I needed a board with onboard video to work for either norm office or CAD. They work Good Easy to setup, position of plugs are good and lots of USB ports.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have installed Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quade, ran PCPitstop and the scores are same or better then others.

Pros: -Enough space for a PCI-E Video card ~8.5 inches long(SATA ports in the way) -2 eSATA -6 USB + 3 for expansion -Signature red PCB that we all love

Cons: -If installing a dual slot VGA, you only have access to 1 PCI slot..2 if your card isn't that fat. -Poor included software for Windows Vista. Live Update will not run on my Vista Business x64, and of course I can't run Dual Core Center. -Only 3 SATA, which means 1 DVD drive, 2 HDDs. You'd want to use SATA cables over IDE anyway, assuming you have a tiny case. -Premature Bios (v1.0): You can't manipulate CPU or RAM voltage, and the system fan controller doesn't work. So forget it if you're an OC'er.

Overall Review: I built this to be used as a casual gaming machine and for schoolwork: Q6600 2.4 GHZ (G0) MSI 8600GTS 2GB Patriot DDR2-800(4-4-4-12) 500GB Samsung HDD 580W Hiper Modular PSU Everything fits except the 8600gts covers the PCIE x1 slot, and borders on one PCI slot. Everything has been stable and I am a happy customer except for the fact that my 140mm is far louder than any piece of hardware in my case. The fan controller for the CPU fan works, but the case fan controller refuses to slow down even after I made changes in the BIOS and I even tried Speedfan. Now I have to resort to a fan controller. Lastly, MSI does not list any BIOS update for this board on their website. Or is it just me that can't find it. They need to fix it!!!!

Pros: This mainboard works very well as a Micro-ATX replacement in my son’s HP Pavillion computer. I was able to connect the case’s front panel connector block for power on, IDE activity light, and power light with no problem. Firewire, USB, and HD Audio connectors also fit with ease. The system is extremely stable and fast, and has reasonably good overclocking potential for those who are in to it.

Cons: Had to flash the BIOS to the latest version before my Intel Core 2 E8400 CPU was recognized properly. I initially installed Windows Vista 32-bit and could not get the board to wake-up from S3 even when enabling S3 wake-up events in the BIOS. Installing Windows XP Professional corrected this issue. As with 99% of all mainboards, the back plane I/O shield is cheap - I really like the color etched back planes that Gigabyte includes with some of their higher end mainboards.

Overall Review: I was somewhat apprehensive purchasing an MSI mainboard because of one bad experience in the past. However this board has performed flawlessly running Windows XP Professional and I am pleased with the purchase overall.

Pros: Got this for an audio/video workstation. Running a Q6600 quad. Overclocked to 3 ghz. Decent options in the BIOS for overclocking, not bad for a micro atx board. Firewire, plenty of usb ports. Intel G33 chipset is pretty nice. Onboard video is decent, but I don't game at all. System is pretty stable, I ran Prime 95 on it for a while, no problems.

Cons: Needed to make a slipstream disk with SP2 for an XP install. BIOS is only at 1.2 so it's a little sketchy. Doesn't want to wake from s3 standby. If you leave a usb drive plugged in, it try's to boot from it, even though that's disabled in the BIOS. Drivers for RAID/AHCI wouldn't load at F6. Now I'm not sure if the esata ports work at all, they definitely won't be hot swappable though.

Overall Review: I'm pretty happy with it, system flys, over twice as fast as the AMD X2 4400+ I was running. If you want rock solid stability go for an Intel board. If you want to overclock at all with a small form factor board you might like this one.
