Pros: EVGA is workin with me to get a rev'd bios through the RMA process. It looks great. from Newegg.com Nice layout. Cons: This board will not post with a Q9xxx or Q8xxx quad core processor! If you are a gamer, chances are you will try and use a quad core with this board and sorry to say the bios won't even post. You get a 4E error that won't even allow you to change boot order to flash. from Newegg.com Cons: It will not post with Q8xxx or Q9xxx quad core cpu's! They advertised that it would. If you are getting a socket 775 mobo and are a gamer, the chances are pretty good that you are going to be using a quad core. I installed a Q9400 in mine and it won't even post. from Newegg.com Pros: Looks nice, easy install like any other mobo. Cons: NIC didn't work and bios needed to be updated. from Newegg.com Pros: This is probably the best MOBO I have ever bought. I've built 4 computers now and this is by far the BEST! from Newegg.com Pros: I still really like the board layout and am very happy with the other one I bought in January Cons: The one I received had the Apr 09 BIOS which appears to not work with the Core 2 Quads. I tried the other cpu from my other eVga 750i bought in Jan (which had no trouble with the Core 2 Quad), but still got the 4e error. from Newegg.com Pros: Other than the initial problem with the onboard LAN needing a BIOS update to work under Linux (running Debian Lenny), its been perfect. Its fast and has the 2 PCIe x 16 slots, plus more PCI slots, so with the Core 2 Quad Q9400 and 8 gb, its able to run my 6 displays with oodles of power to spare Cons: none Other Thoughts: I ordered another to replace another mfr's board that had trouble, and hope it works as well as the first from Newegg.com Pros: Fast at what is actually functional, not including boot. Cons: It sucks. I am on 2nd bad board and this one worse that the first. The first, did well until u try and download which it could not do without corrupting it. from Newegg.com Cons: It worked for 45 minutes with no issues. About 45 minutes into running Windows, the machine powered down on its own and never came back up. The new motherboard was replaced with the original motherboard and the system came back up as expected. Other Thoughts: While trolling the motherboard reviews, it seems there is a trend with the motherboard manufacturers. from Newegg.com Pros: cheap- SLI if the MB works. Cons: This is my second EVGA motherboard to replace my dead 680i SLI - whose RMA also died after two days. The board looks good in theory but not in execution. from Newegg.com
