Pros: P45 very good chipset and the motherboard does perform very well. Cons: Marvell Serial SATA ports quit working after trying them just one time. from Newegg.com Pros: very nice while it lasted grat overclocking Cons: failed in 2 months. thought it was a power supply issue so i spent 200$ on a 950w corsiar Other Thoughts: the baord leds will be on shwing it is getting power but as soon as i hit the power button the comp will turn on for litarly a second then turn off and it will continue to do this every time i hit the power button Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,We are sorry for this inconvenience. from Newegg.com Pros: man oh man..... this thing is a beast. from Newegg.com Pros: Firstly, the motherboard is great, I upgraded from a P6N Diamond and never looked back, the performance on the board is amazing, and everything seems to work ... so far?Overall, I would recommend that you buy this board, so don't get me wrong. from Newegg.com Pros: I have had this board around a year now and frankly I am very happy with it. I have been building computers from "parts" since 1985 and this was simply the easiest and best build ever. from Newegg.com Pros: WOW who knew that upgrading from a Biostar g31m7-te would give me 30 plus frames in World of Warcraft.. when my power supply and mobo fried i bought this thing, only thing different in my setup and its like twice the performance Cons: does this weird thing on start up where it turns on, (fans spin) turns off then turns on again and all the OC lights on inside cycle like 3 times then a post beep and then it finnally boots up. from Newegg.com This is one of the best P45 Chipset Motherboards out there. It is full of features, (dual bios, extra SATA ports, dual Gigabyte Ethernet connection, overclocking in bios, etc.), and has been very reliable over time. from Amazon.com Pros: I would have to say that I was very impressed with this board. I bought it for a system i was building for someone other than myself and had wished i had the board in my system. from Newegg.com Pros: Same as every other review, but still not enough... Cons: I was unfortunate unough to get one of the boards that has the heat sink problem so everytime I really get into a movie or game and the temps get high the whole system crashes or freezes. from Newegg.com Pros: This motherboard is absolutely amazing. It is rock solid and so easy to overclock with, I don't even see why anyone would bother with any other DDR2 motherboard! from Newegg.com
