Most Favorable Review

Good board @ good cost

ASUS P5B LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5B LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Lots of good features for a budget board. Stable and easily overclockable. BIOS updates very easily from within BIOS Setup with BIOS file on USB keyfob!

Cons: Lack of usable screw holes on memory side of board makes for a very delicate upgrade operation. BE CAREFUL adding RAM with the board installed!!

Most Critical Review

Do not buy--nothing but trouble

ASUS F2A85-V FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS F2A85-V FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Lots of features. Love the ability to charge my iPad 4th Gen thru USB. EFI BIOS is also great. Easy installation.

Cons: Been having issues since day 1 and fighting with Asus support (run by Pegatron, not Asus). MB has horrible buzzing from CPU area, which only goes away if I disable ALL power management in BIOS and in Windows. CHA2_FAN header powers fans, but gives 0 RPM reading, USB3.0 disables when I plug in USB3.0 devices. Even though I paid $129.99 for my board, Asus wants to hold $160 on my credit card (and have me take all risk for shipping) to do an "express RMA". The other option is to send the board to them--at my expense, have them test it, and risk it being gone for 3+ weeks--only to get it back with no repairs or defect found. Looking at other manufacturers for a replacement board. I suggest the same for anyone looking at this slab of trash.

PETA APPROVED!!!

Pros: * Eggs broke almost perfectly when cracked against the pan. * Did not leave shell fragments * Halved egg shells double as mini-flower pots! * Does not break when dropped from 3 stories up!! * PETA APPROVED!!

Cons: * Only sold once a year * Was hoping for a lighter shade of brown or even white. Just doesn't quite match the color of my plates. * Eggs cook too fast on high heat * Halved shells can be sharp!!

Overall Review: A perfect addition to any recipe which calls for eggs. Like Copper River Salmon from Alaska--which can fetch a premium price, these eggs have the potential to be just as legendary. At the price Newegg charged today, I just couldn't pass it up!
