Pros: overall the board was great and i couldnt have asked for better technical support from EVGA. lots of wonderful features and had no compatability issues what so ever.

Cons: top pci-e slot would not work for my EVGA gts 250. worked fine with an ATI HD 4650 though.

Other Thoughts: assuming i had badluck with the board. newegg stopped selling it after i RMA'd it so i purchased the same board from another retailer and have zero issues so far.

Pros: nice board, runs my 2.2 dual core great.

Cons: even though it lists that it works with core 2 quads they do not support the Q9505. evga said i would have to get another cpu if i wanted to use that board.

Pros: Great motherboard.

Cons: First of all the on board Ethernet port is done, I RMAed it and got a new one same problem. Apparently I'm not the only one, I went out and got a PCI Ethernet port and now everything works fine. The only other con I can think us is it only has 1 USB plug on the motherboard (meaning it can only support 2 USB ports on your box, mine has 4 so 2 dont work)

Other Thoughts: Once I fixed the onboard Network Card it works amazing.

Pros: None

Cons: There was no mention in the information about this board not supporting 45nm processors. E-VGA confirmed it, the only way to get 45nm support is to update the BIOS, but that's kinda hard to do considering I have a 45nm CPU and don't have any older C2Ds laying around.

Other Thoughts: Newegg's getting this one back...

Pros: Good price
Haven't been able to utilize SLI capabilities yet, but should be fun

Cons: Onboard LAN is screwy. I did more research and realized that many, many people with this board are having this problem. Either they can't connect to the internet, or in my case all the downloads are getting corrupted. I just got a separate NIC, so hopefully this will solve the problem. I don't know if this is a common thing with these boards, but its definitely a downer when you're expecting it to work out of the box.

I had this problem in both Vista and Win 7.

Other Thoughts: Not a terrible experience on my first build, so I guess thats a plus. Other than the onboard LAN problem I haven't had any other issues, so if you decide on this board just keep in mind that you may need to get a replacement NIC!

Pros: This is a great motherboard for the price. I have had almost no problems with it since i got it. i did have a doa board when i first got it, but newegg was awesome and had great turnaround

Cons: The sata connectors are a little bit fragile so be careful when plugging them in i have broken one but the rest of the motherboard still works so i am happy. Also you need to have a fairly high understanding of how to flash the bios and all the other technical stuff that goes with it.

Other Thoughts: Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz OC'ED to 3.6Ghz and this is a 45nm cpu and it posted fine when i first got it.
6GB 800MHZ RAM
XfX Force 9800GT
Windows 7

Pros: It's a mobo

Cons: They left some important information out of the specifications

Other Thoughts: Okay, so, long story short, this board doesn't work with 45 nm cpu's. Apparently they just "forgot" to mention this in the description/specifications. I got this board and the Q8200, installed and turned on...BIOS never started. Called EVGA and RMA'd...twice.Then they told me about the cpu thing. Way to go guys.

Pros: The motherboard started off as a very good buy.
The board was staying cool and working.

Cons: The board died on me after 2 months.
It gives me a BSOD now when I start my computer up.
Guess I should look for a new board..

Pros: Great mobo no problems what so ever. I have a Q6600 overclocked to 3.0ghz and its been running that when i first build it. No bios needed or any thing for the quad core so plug and play for the most part. Had this Mobo for 10 months strong

Cons: Not a big fan of the small little fans on the northbridge might have some problems down the road but so far so good

Other Thoughts: great for the money

Pros: good board for the price

Cons: arrived DOA, installed it after 30 days so it couldnt be returned
