Pros: For a MATX board this one is great, I just love this board. I t has everything I need to build an inexpensive but powerful machine. Its built solid and it even fixes itself if you make a mistake in the BIOS, very handy when overclocking aggressively! Soli
Cons: Not a single con, well maybe a fan for the heatsink, but it runs fine out of the box, I just like cool running computers, and I added my own anyway so not really a con in any sense of the word.
Summary: I give it 5 stars! easy to set up, runs perfect without any glitches or bluescreens, is exremely versatile in its CPU compatability too, handles just aobut everything worth running ...
