Pros: Gotta be honest, not the biggest Intel socket fan. I have pretty much always tuned AMD but this board has changed my opinion towards Intel gaming machines. from Newegg.com Pros: Similar to ECS G31T-M(1.0) but this model has solid capacitors which supposedly offer slightly better performance or reliability. Cons: Not designed for serious overclocking (basic voltage regulators, no heatsink/cooler for southbridge chip, lacks cpu core voltage fine-tuning, etc.) Other Thoughts: An earlier reviewer complained about the number of IDE connections advertised for this motherboard. from Newegg.com Pros: *pretty sturdy for d price*handles my e1200,e2160 and a Q6600 nicely * Doesn't disperse that much heat if your using integrated stuff. *really good for a quiet system * can hit 1400FSb on my Q6600 *handled a top 9800GTX+ card nicely too*runs on a 20pin motherboard power cable just fine Cons: *overclocking on a 800FSB like a celeron and pentium dual-core are pretty much useless since i couldnt hit above 250 which bump my e1200 from 1.6 to 2.0ghz or somethinsame on d pentium. from Newegg.com Pros: Motherboard worked fine with no major issues. Inexpensive, solid capacitors, everything you need for basic machine right there. Cons: Not a good overclocker. from Newegg.com Pros: So far it seems to be doing what it's supposed to do. Cons: Can't think of any. from Newegg.com Pros: Great expandability for the money. So far works great. from Newegg.com Pros: *pretty sturdy for d price*handles my e1200,e2160 and a Q6600 nicely * Doesn't disperse that much heat if your using integrated stuff. *really good for a quiet system * can hit 1400FSb on my Q6600 *handled a top 9800GTX+ card nicely too*runs on a 20pin motherboard power cable just fine Cons: *overclocking on a 800FSB like a celeron and pentium dual-core are pretty much useless since i couldnt hit above 250 which bump my e1200 from 1.6 to 2.0ghz or somethinsame on d pentium. from Newegg.com Pros: everything works great, i like this motherboard, lots of expandability, good choice for the money Cons: the newegg site lists this as having two ide inputs, it has only 1, i will therefore have to buy a new harddrive which i was not in the market for so i can run my dvd drive and cd burner off the only ide port and get my computer fully functional again from Newegg.com Pros: Gotta be honest, not the biggest Intel socket fan. I have pretty much always tuned AMD but this board has changed my opinion towards Intel gaming machines. from Newegg.com So far works great. Everything is where it should be for the case I used (IN WIN IW-BT611T.300SL) Cons: The stock cooler that came with my CPU was a tad difficult to mount but I'm unsure if this was a function of the mounting pins or the spacing of the motherboard. Wish it came with a eSata port :) from Newegg.com
