Pros: has great potential

Cons: but it is potential unrealized. i was just given board #3 after the first two failed. first one died as did the second one. this one i have to restart 3-5 times before it will POST! all newegg will do is RMA and give me another Identical one. dont want it anymore! I cant even upgrade to a better, more expensive board. And we all know how great the biostar tech help is...not great at all. takes weeks to get a response.

Overall Review: I would NOT recommend this board to anyone. I have lost more time dealing with this m-board. working on a computer is how I make my living and this has killed my productivity. all told, between the 3 boards, shipping, RMA processing,tearing it apart and rebuilding again, I've lost nearly 8 weeks of work.

Pros: Very cheap DDR3 board, with most of the luxuries of more expensive DDR2 boards.

Cons: The board started to cause the system to hang randomly. Replaced every component systematically until only the mobo was left. RMA'd with NewEgg and the new one doesn't appear to have the same problem -- yet.

Pros: great for overclocking, easy setup. comes with everything in you need except for a decent manual. half the stuff in the bios has no definition.

Cons: I am about to get board # 3 as the first two crapped out on me. I'm hoping to talk newegg into letting me swap for a different mobo that's more reliable. the bios update as said by another reviewer, killed a P960 which was one of the best overclocking chips ever made. no way to control the fan speed. no more biostar boards for me.

Overall Review: Yeah, don't forget this is a DDR3 board ONLY.

Pros: This board is a delight for people who want to experiment with overclocking their systems. I like the layout and everything was easy to get to and it takes the biggest cpu cooler you can throw at it.I overclocked a Pentium D 960 3.6 gigs to 4.5 almost 4.6 gigs

Cons: my board failed 1 day shy of the 30 day return guarantee. but I"m sure the next one will be better. Many of the geek sites rate it highly. would be nice if it had 1394 connections

Overall Review: Keep in mind, this board takes ONLY DDR3 memory.And don't other with the bios upgrade. the chipset update is good. bios update has a new feature that analyses the cpu temp/fan speed relationship then sets an optimal fan speed. almost toasted my cpu! temp went through the roof until I reversed the flash update.

Pros: Nice stats

Cons: I am 0 for 2 to get one that works. Their customer service does not seem to know how to respond at all. I have waited three weeks for a reponse to my first email. Second email has also gone unanswered. I have been able to power the CPU section of both boards, the main section of these boards does not power up. Swapped power supplies and cases other parts work with those parts but not the MB.

Pros: Has upgrade capability for the newest chips coming out. Works great with the Intel Dual processor I got.

Cons: The case connections were a bit tedious, but that's probably how most are.
