asilvernighta Member Since: Dec 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 7 Days	Best matx out! Strengths: Raid, overclock capability, solid capacitors, made in Taiwan as opposed to ASUS's matx's that are now made in China, has serial port, has firewire Weaknesses: north bridge gets hot, install cd comes with various programs and some aren't compatible together Summary: This motherboard has so many options and has boasted so much on durability. I used to be an Asus fan until I found out they started making their motherboards in China to gain profit. I have this with Intel dual core e6850 and it works right out of the box. Even though the pci is next to the pci express 16x, which may be rendered useless by a dual slot video card, I found that the pcie 4x may be more useful than thought. ATI is releasing a HDTV tuner 650 pcie card for the pci express slot. I heard some people are using pcie 4x with their ATI video cards to do crossfire 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

No Name Member Since: Aug 2002 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Micro ATX board Strengths: Overclocking ability Weaknesses: Runs a little bit warm Summary: This is one great board for overclocking. It pretty much has everything you need, RAID and such. Memory voltage can go beyond 2.1v. If you want 1:1 memory divider, you will need to download a new bios. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

hurdlingreggie Member Since: Feb 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 14 Days	Best mATX board out there Strengths: Highly overclockable and completely stable when doing so, compatible with the new 45nm processors (1333mhz!!!), more USB ports than you can find things to plug into them Weaknesses: none that I can find yet (I've been using it for about 2 weeks) Summary: I bought this motherboard to replace the Abit F-I90HD, which had an issue that ends in the motherboard being completely useless (I read on some forum that it is caused by an avalanche breakdown in the semiconductors). Anyway, this motherboard is a dream. No stability issues, very compatible with all kinds of hardware, 6 SATA ports!!, and firewire (the F-I90HD does not have firewire, who knows why). 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

raymond1234 from CA Member Since: Jul 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Weeks	Great performance. Love this motherboard Strengths: It overclocks easily and the configuration steps are simple. The CPU temperature is not increasing rapidly when overclocking. Tons of features for affordable money. Weaknesses: I dont see anything till now Summary: Awesome board. See the Manufactuers site to select the RAM and other components. A great motherboard, especially for mATX, just be sure to get the Bios update if you are wanting to run a 1066 FSB. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.
