Pros: There is absolutely nothing wrong with this board. It worked flawlessly right of the box. from Newegg.com Pros: DDR3Well builtGood layoutPowerful Cons: You need to manually set a lot of the BIOS. Memory timings are commonly a pain for people. from Newegg.com Pros: Heard and read great reviews the specs are great Cons: The board has been nothing but trouble i installed it and during boot got a RAM error and the system shut down, moved the RAM from DIMM slots 0 and 2 to 1 and 3 and got past that error during OS installation the system shutdown again, I have been reading that there has been many DoA mobo's' of this model being shipped and hope it is fixed soon to save others from the nightmare of having a brand new mobo not work. Other Thoughts: This is a great board (going by the specs) when it isn't DoA. from Newegg.com Pros: Per the information outlined in the manual, the 790i ultra chipset only supports a two stick configuration above 1333mhz. If you plan to populate all the DIMMs you'll have to conform the settings to JDEC specifications of 1066-1333mhz. from Newegg.com Pros: Board works great when you get a good one, but I happy with the results. I have yet to O. from Newegg.com Pros: Lots of options and ports. Board layout is pretty good except for the 8 pin cpu port (see cons.) Good support and RMA is a fairly quick turnaround. Cons: The 8 pin CPU port is hard to reach and just in an overall bad spot imo. from Newegg.com Pros: Terrific LGA775 Motherboard for overclocking. BIOS is clear and simple to use. from Newegg.com Pros: I went from a 780i to 790i man what a deff!, this board is awsome. yanking the 780 out and putting the 790 in took longer than it did setting it up, once i got everything plugged in it booted up the first try, mem config was a snap no diff than the 780 . from Newegg.com Pros: In response to unstable board your GX2 is probably hot as a firecracker and locking up the board. I had 2 identical cards and sent one of them back for RMA. from Newegg.com Pros: Lots of different settings in the BIOS for configuring the timing and voltage for the CPU and RAM, but it sometimes seems like they are not doing what they claim to be. Cons: This board is just unstable. from Newegg.com
