Pros: Great manufacturer, all the specs are great for the price. Awesome over-clocking board. Good compatibility with memory (OCZ is compatible) SLI mode, RAID support, 1333mhz FSB compatible (manually set). Good layout, no conflicts at all with a Freezer 7 Pro HSF.

Cons: No mosfet cooling, no northbridge cooling fan, northbridge cooler is loose by default (but does it's job fine!) No solid state caps like the platinum version of this board has. Aluminum northbridge cooler instead of copper. If you are running SLI, note that in SLI mode each x16 slot runs in x8 mode. (but these are VERY MINOR & ONLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A BUDGET BOARD and not the platinum version)

Overall Review: Fantanstic board for the money, you can't get anything better performance wise for the price, SOLID board. Ran 4x400mhz no problem for a 3.6Ghz overclock with an E6600 and Freezer 7 Pro

Pros: Fast performance, good price when on sale.

Cons: My card came with a model# of V222 which is a 570 core on a 470 PCB and 470 cooler, from what the internet forums are saying. This results in a MUCH louder fan than what's on the reference 570. Did I mention LOUD FAN!?!

Overall Review: Not a reference 570 design. V801 in the model # I believe is a reference design, which is in the overclocked version of this card (N570GTX-M2D12D5/OC). But reading those reviews, I'm not sure you're any better off due to artifacting.

Pros: none.

Cons: REALLY expensive for 60GB?

Overall Review: price mistake?

Pros: fast, lifetime warranty

Cons: none

Overall Review: In regards to the JEDEC comment by the manufacturer, what they are saying is that because of the standard, it has to be set to 800mhz by default. This memory WILL work at 1066mhz at 2.1v, but has to be manually set in your motherboard's BIOS, typically because of the extra 0.3v needed above DDR2 spec (1.8v). This is very common and in the case you've read other reviews saying that ONE out of the TWO sticks is bad, it's typically due to the extra voltage needed to boot with both sticks. To fix this, install one module, boot into BIOS, manually adjust your timings and voltage to manufacturer's spec. Turn your computer off, then put in the second stick. It's not because your memory is bad, it's because these types of memory require above the spec 1.8v voltage.

Pros: Uh. None I can think of. Oh wait! It does have a switch!

Cons: Wastes power. Poor positioning of fans. This product does not work if you own a Compaq laptop. Here in lies the problem with notebook coolers. Laptops do NOT HAVE VENTS ON THE BOTTOM! If they do they are very small and not near the CPU.

Overall Review: I benchmarked this notebook cooler using Folding@Home to max out CPU usage. The heat went from 70'C to 70'C after turning the fans on.

Pros: Best performance and features for the best price. Excellent manufacturer of computer hardware. Easy install, excellent compatibility with memory, high speed bus (1333mhz), overall excellent motherboard. Solid state caps, ROHS.

Cons: Poor layout. This motherboard does not work well in a case where the PSU is at the bottom. The 4-pin CPU power plug is in far top left, so if you have an Antec P180B and an Enermax power supply, you'll need a 4-pin extension cable to reach it. Also the IDE header is at the VERY bottom. This is not helpful either if you have a CD/DVD rom in the top bay of your case. Also very limited options in the BIOS for overclocking. I got this board because of good reviews for being able to OC well and yet the BIOS doesn't support manual memory timings, etc. Only through software.

Overall Review: Other than the poor layout and limited BIOS options. It's a good solid board that should last quite a while.
