Average Rating:
Rating: - Great Board
Pros: BIOS with a lot of options than I am used to. Has an option that slows down the processor to save energy and cool it down.
Con: Had an issue installing the heatsink of my Intel e7300 processor. Don't know if this is a motherboard or processor issue, but I think I was able to fix it.
Overall: Very reccomended board. Over 200 reviewed purchases from a competing site. I bought it because of the many great reviews and was not disappointed.
Rating: - Excellent Board for basic build
I needed a motherboard that would allow for overclocking in the BIOS, had integrated video, and supported quad core processors. This board meets all those requirements. Currently running an Intel E2180 processor at 9x333 = 3.0ghz on this board with Linux 64 bit. Needed a slight bump up in the CPU voltage to be stable, but no complaints. For $76 Board + $57 for the CPU + $20 2GB Ram, I've got a 3.0ghz Dual Core for about $150. Great value there. Will probably get a second soon for an Intel Q6600 ... Read More
Rating: - Great motherboard for simple PCs
Most gamers will only need one PCI-e slot, and no more than 4GB of ram, either no more than two hard drives, this motherboard is perfect, it is compatible with high-end CPU as well as PCI-e video cards and it won't eat space, however watch for ventilation, compact high-end PCs most be well ventilated.
It comes with built in VGA support, so you don't need a GPU to support graphics.
