Pros: Great MB. I was able to overclock a 2600k to 4.2 GHz effortlessly. I could have gone higher, but I wanted something for 24/7. I really like all the features and the EVGA E-LEET software.
Cons: If you SLI two 2-slott Video cards, it will cover up some of the pins and the LED indicator. It wasn't a deal breaker for me.
Overall Review: - Core i7-2600K - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM - EVGA GTX 570 HD (running one at the moment, plan to buy a 2nd one for SLI) - Intel Intel 320 Series SSD - COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 850W
Pros: The board works great. I didn't find any problems whatsoever. best of all, I got it free as a gift :D
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The board is worth buying. As for FPS: please stop complaining. If the board came DOA, don't double post to keep buyers away. You got one bad board out of a thousand. it doesn't mean the manufacturer is horrible. This happens to all manufacturers. If you have a problem with that, don't buy a motherboard at all.
Pros: easy to read led. s/pdif coax out a big plus for me. more options than i know what to do with
Cons: front audio connector on wrong side of board/ my video card covers it
Overall Review: not sure maxium size cpu fan it will hold
Pros: price. although an older board not designed for the newest processors, the board contains some nicer features (usb 3.0, 2 SATA 3 connections, and nicer cords and adapters)and generally seems higher quality than the majority of boards at the $50 price point. I have the same issue others have had about an initial message that HD is not found, but it moves on within a couple of seconds and finds the HD so not a major issue. Sound seems to be working fine (I am using the HDMI to a TV)
Cons: none
Overall Review: Not sure I understand all the complaints about the unsupported CPUs. If you check the manufacturer's list before buying, you should be fine (that's what I did). If your CPU is not on the list, don't buy the board. Pretty simple.
Pros: Its a very nice mobo, runs good. the there was only one thing i didn't like about it. (see cons) as far as pros go i would recommend it to someone looking for their first mobo
Cons: I didn't like that it only supports the Intel Sandy Bridge CPU. I want to get an Ivy Bridge CPU and the mobo doesn't support it.
Overall Review: I initially thought that i wanted to get the sandy bridge CPU but i changed my mind. I sold the mobo to a friend and i am buying a new one!
Pros: I've had zero problems with it. Although it is a budget board it has a lot of high-end features. What I like about it: - insulated I/O plate - blocks dust and noise - more connections than you'll ever need, including eSATA and i1394. USB 3. - plenty of Fan headers. This is usually an issue with matx. - 4 dimm slots, and HYPER212 goes in with ease. I did buy lower profile Ares, but all but the really high sticks will fit. alternatively, move the high sticks to the back and put low profile in the two slots closest to cpu. - well designed SATA ports mean that you don't have to worry about video cards crushing cables. ports are at 90 degrees. - designed for sli at 8x/8x - cpu temperature led on motherboard, clearly visible through case window - power and diagnostiled lights (blue) on motherboard
Cons: Not so fond of: - no heatsink on VRMs. hasn't been an issue, but it makes me leery of trying to overclock to 4ghz. - pcie is 8x max even in single. however, 8x=4000mb/s and in multiple tests the loss of performance in almost all games including crysis and bf3 between 8x and 16x is about 2 frames (83fps in BF3 max on GTX 680 vs 81fps). - no video-out, so I can't use the integrated video in my i5 (not that I want to) - power led on motherboard isn't the same as the one my case provides. so no power led
Overall Review: I have this board and I'm typing on it as I write. * i5 -2500k * gtx 670 * 8GB DDR3 GSKILL ARES on XMP 1600, 2 slots free * Vertex Plus SSD (SATA II), will be moving to Vertex 3 SATA III this weekend.
Pros: Great features, PCIe2, DDR3, USB3, Sata3/600, dual bios, etc. Nicely packaged, high quality hardware and accessories included. Excellent value for the money
Cons: Does not support Ivy bridge CPU, this was not issue for me. On-board graphics would have been nice, but can't complain for what I paid.
Overall Review: I bought 2 of these and got them for an amazing fifty bucks each! I was replacing two AM2+ boards and chips in my MCE and WHS boxes so this was a huge upgrade for me. I bought two 2x4 8gb DDR3 1600 memory kits and two of the Intel G850's and I was all set for upgrading. So far I have been very pleased with these mobo's and the Sandy bridge procs. I got a ton of upgrades for these two machines for not a lot of ca$h. I highly recommend this as a value product. Great quality, even the included sata cables were nice and I am getting the full sata3/600 with the included cables.

Pros: Nice small form factor is perfect for an HTPC - it fit my Silverstone case without issue. Includes a very nice I/O bracket and every cable and accessory in the book. BIOS was very easy to setup and work with, getting Windows installed and setting the correct boot drive, etc. Comes with very basic utilities - nothing fancy except for their excellent E-Leet utility.
Cons: No case badge but that's not a big deal. The first board I got had to be RMA'd due to the fact that it was not POST'ing and the replacement board worked. Booted up first time with no problems whatsoever.
Overall Review: EVGA's support department was extremely helpful in helping me to determine what the problem was and what the course of action should be to get my HTPC working. I'd buy again in half a second just for that.
