lovin' it
- Pros: Excellent board, runs strong, comes with great software, love the express gate, it's got great onboard graphics and im actually finding it hard to get a pci-e card that's actually better than it, and it looks dang sexy.
- Cons: VGA port is a little weak (i have all but broke mine off), express gate only seems to work if i am hard wired to the internet via ethernet, it's kinda hard to find higher end processors for it (i suppose it is due to am2/am2+ being out of date) and it does have the square design which doesn't fit in all cases.
- Other Thoughts: i would buy this board over and over again if i had the money
good mb
- Pros: Bought a new board so i could upgrade the processor. This has a better chipset than my old board and has DVI input and HD video which is great. 4 memory slots
- Cons: The install disc couldn't be read on either of my computers because it was worped so I had download from asus website. I hope I was able to download everything I needed but I'm having a hard time with the audio when switching between video and games.
ASUX
- Pros: None.
- Cons: Board stopped recognizing SATA drives just under a year later. No changes made to the BIOS or anything. For almost a year the board worked, then when I was powering down and swapping the boot disk (via a hard drive carriage to avoid wearing out or breaking SATA ports) about 10 times before this MB stopped recognizing SATA drives completely. NONE of the SATA ports work any longer.
- Other Thoughts: This is a follow-up to my review I made 3 days ago.
I received another board from NewEgg to replace this board. All other hardware remained the same, same hard drive, same power supply, same processor, same OS (no new install). The PC now works perfectly. It's an amazing feeling to finally have a motherboard that actually recognizes SATA drives when they're plugged into SATA ports. What a concept!
