ZOTAC NF610I-E-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Works fine under windows xp and Windows 7 Beta 32bit haven't upgraded to the release candidate yet. First time building a PC and didn't have a problem. Would definitely choose this board again.

Cons: Like a previous post had mentioned had a problem with the sound when installed windows 7 but if you go to the sound driver you can run it under windows xp or vista compatible mode and works fine.

Overall Review: running e5200, 4 GB of G-Skill ram 2x2GB, 2x160 GB Seagate hard drive, and a EVGA 8600 GTS graphics card

Pros: Smaller than standard mATX. 4 pin power so smaller PSUs and older PSUs will work fine. Runs on a 20 Pin PSU fine. Runs a 45nm Quad fine at stock speeds/auto settings. Works with Geil Black Dragons, Corsair Dominators. PATA and SATA functions worked fine including a brief test of SATA RAID 0 and a Titan SSD. Video Output was better than I expected...on par with a low end video card. Passive chipset a plus for "silent" HTPC builds. Fairly complete BIOS with some basic overclocking functions. PCIE X16 slot worked fine with any single GPU card I tried (ATI 1300, 8800GT 9800GTX) but would not play with the dual PCB Nvidia cards (tried 295GTX and 9800GX2). Audio output is passable. Good enough for typical home use.

Cons: The small form factor means two less DIMMs than you may need. Depends on your system requirements. 4 pin power and no aux power to the board is probably why the dual PCB/GPU cards like the 9800GX2 and 295GTX would not play. Fir whatever reason the board did not like to OC the Quad. No test with a dual core CPU so I cannot comment on the OC ability of the lil Zotac.

Overall Review: Neat looking little board. Passive chipset cooler gets quite warm at idle and smoking hot under 100% sustained load. Active cooling in some form is a must for long term high load (server type) use. RAID on such an inexpensive board is a real plus. The onboard video is a plus..but also was wreaking havoc when I triedto get the dual GPU cards to play. It would over ride the cards for some reason. But how many people want to run a $500 GFX card on a $45 board?

Pros: Everything worked fine with both XP and Vista 64-Bit. Fairly well laid out and good value for the money. Threw an E6400 Conroe that I had laying around into in with 4GB of wonderful A-Data RAM and it runs great. I'm finding Zotac to be a very good brand and you can't beat the lifetime warranty.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: Have not sent in mail-in rebate, but heard they can be problematic. Oh well.

Pros: nice lay out good on board audio and video smaller than expected , posted with out issue

Cons: only one IDE cable connection wouldn't read IDE hard drive used a SATA drive no problems

Overall Review: good for a cheap upgrade need 24 pin power supply

Pros: So far everything is working as expected. I used a 120gb sata hdd so no problem loading XP. Am using IDE for DVD drive and that works good.

Cons: None. I new what I was getting and am happy with it.

Overall Review: Have an e5200 dual core plus 4gb of Corsair (2x2) and running XP pro. Seems like a good combination.

Pros: great easy budget build booted up first try. very happy so far I hope that doesn't change. excellent price, I have already recomended ZOTAC boards to several people I will definatally buy more for future builds. I built this for the wife to use works excellent for her. this was my first 775 cpu build

Cons: none for the board or ZOTAC

Overall Review: I can't wait for the larger memory to get here only have about 1 Gb of ram in it but adding more. wish I would of went with a dual core cpu instead of a 1.8 mhz single core. may go with a dual core later on if needed.

Pros: feels solid when building good layout no issues as of yet

Cons: cant blame them just yet, but I have had ZERO luck with rebates from zotac in the past. if you get this, just think of the price with no rebate and if by some random chance they mess up and actually send you money then great. lol

Overall Review: got this board to replace an old asus board that was causing some serious BSoDs in my HTPC. So far its working just as advertised :D

Pros: Nice looking motherboard, great colors, and a nice layout if you aren't going to use the PCI slots. very easy to install (into the case) nice size too very small and compact, perfect for a micro ATX case. Zotac has friendly customer service reps, but they dont seem to very knoledgable

Cons: it was DOA after i hooked everything up, and it wasn't posting, i figured that i might be the lucky one out of the majority of the reviewers here to get the non DOA board, but i wasn't. paid for 3 day shipping came in 6 days... not neweggs fault but maybe they could offer cheaper shipping/longer day arrival time options.

Overall Review: Zotac is a nice company, and i think i would buy from them again, but newegg needs to maybe consider taking this board of their shelves, it seems as if most people are getting DOA boards, take your chances with this board and see how lucky you are. if you do the math there is about an 80% chance you could get a DOA board. lastly i wish i could have seen this board work, i love the color functionality y that they picked the size was just right, and the set up was perfect for me, but because im building this for a friend, i dont have time ti replace a DOA board over and over again.
