Pros: None Cons: The first board came and wouldn't boot up. I replaced memory and tried everything. Intel told me to send it back. The next one I finally got it to work, but it crashes. from Newegg.com Bios and software that came with the board showed 40c at idle. Used any other software to read temp sensor for the CPU at idle and was reading 32c. Under full load temp from the Intel software never got above 45c. But other then that it works fine. from Newegg.com All to no avail. Now in RMA queue. Other Thoughts: Would still buy Intel, as I have for years. from Newegg.com For that matter, could be the CPU, although highly unlikely. This DoA issue was noted by other buyers, so be warned. Either newegg drops them down the stairs before shipping, or intel is slipping up. Other Thoughts: You could always give it a try, and RMA in hopes for a working product. from Newegg.com Pros: I've used Intel desktop boards for years, almost two decades now. Intel was always a safe bet, as I'm not an overclocker - computer enthusiast, yes - but not an overclocker. from Newegg.com Pros: You can't go wrong with mid-range priced motherboards from Intel. I purchase Intel boards only because they just work, period. from Newegg.com Pros: Works well right out of the box. BIOS has some interesting options and is easy to use. Works well with G-Skill DDR2 800 memory (4 X 1Gb). Plenty of PCI slots and SATA and USB ports. from Newegg.com Cons: Sli or another ethernet port would have been nice. I wanted a to spend less then $600 total on the build so this board was a good fit. Other Thoughts: 550 Rosewill PSU, Rosewill case, E8200 Duo Core, 9800GTX+, 4 gigs Corsair 800 Dual Channel, Rocketfish CPU Cooler and this board. Now I play Crysis on the highest settings plus 4x AA and manage 25 fps when the action is intense. from Newegg.com Pros: Built an affordable new machine for the wife using this board. Seems solid, posted first try, accepted all hardware and software with no problems. Typical, decent Intel quality....nothing fancy...nothing cheesy. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Good affordable board for a basic desktop system. from Newegg.com I have NEVER had this much of a hassle building a computer (this is my 4th build) or upgrading an existing one. Other Thoughts: This thing is just way too finicky. I will not buy another Intel motherboard. from Newegg.com
