Pros: I have had no issues. I have lightly overclocked the Cores and will go further now that I have a liquid cooling system in place. Any of the new games I played on it run smoothly. Sometimes I cannot run max quality, but that is a video card issue and not a CPU issue.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Would probably do a 3rd AMD build as it is great performance for the cost. Couldn't be happier.

Comments: I got this MoBo and it is running real nice with my A64 4000+. The NorthBridge and CPU run pretty cool. I found taking off the sides of my case my Sys Temp dropped by almost 10C but it averages 30-40C SysTemp and CPU 40-50C with the case fully assembled. I didn't realize you had to setup and install the NvRaid drivers at XP installation so I can't comment on the raid. The built in NvFirewall with ActiveArmour is pretty nice as well as the built in audio. I love the uGuru controller. I'd suggest this MB to just about anyone if you can put out the extra 60 bucks.

Comments: The computer case is a little bit of a tight fit, but not to hard to make everything fit. I was a little disapointed that the case fans that came with it can't be connected to my motherboard to control the fan speeds, but it makes for an excelent starter case. The three colors for the front leds as well as off: blue, green and red. It came in perfect condition and the door is solid, I give this Case an A- and suggest to starting builders.
