Pros: Great board, good layout, low cost. Cons: None. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap.. Cons: Random freezes, BSODs, random reboots, but most of all horrible tech support. from Newegg.com Pros: 8 SATA ports, gigabit lan, incredible price! OC'd my Q6600 to 3.4 ghz on air, with 8 gigs of ram, while being perfectly stable. from Newegg.com Pros: +Price+Supports Core 2 Quads, I'm running mine with a 9550+Overclock jumper might be useful to those who have processors that run at a lower FSB+Supports asynchronous RAM/FSB clock ratio+Support for TPM module+Heatsinks on MOSFETs Cons: -"Heat pipe" is not a pipe at all, just a solid piece of aluminum-None of the heatsinks are copper, actually, they're just painted aluminum Other Thoughts: MSI's Core software for overclocking and monitoring is fair. The motherboard has been rock solid, even with moderate overclocking. from Newegg.com Pros: It's MSI. Everything works perfectly. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap, Good bios, And the Onboard Audio is pretty good! Cons: The Layout of the Slots seem pretty bad to me, Putting the only PCI-E x1 slot next to the x16 slot would seem like a bad idea to me, Considering if you have a dual slot Gfx Card your not going to be able to use It, does not bother me though as im using onboard audio! from Newegg.com Pros: Installed everything easily. Worked right the first time. from Newegg.com Pros: > Plenty of room between key parts> Lots of ports: 8 Sata Ports, 4 RAM slots, 4 extra pin sets for external USB2> 16GB Max RAM> Nice audio> Great heat sinks for north and south bridges and runs cool> Works great with Linux Cons: > Would have liked 6 or 8 USB ports on the back instead of 4 Other Thoughts: The IDE cable port faces sideways and makes it tricky to get the IDE cable connected, but it wasn't a big deal. from Newegg.com Pros: I love this board its running a E3110stable @ 3.6 ghz at 1.176 volts on cheap ddr2 800. idles at 30c. from Newegg.com Pros: Purchased one of these open boxed about 2 months ago. Was so happy with it that i ordered a second(also open box). from Newegg.com
