Pros: Great price, Stable, Great quality, Easy to work with.
Cons: Rev 1.0 only has a 4-pin CPU connector. The newer rev 2.0 has a 8 which helps with quad core cpus.

This board has actually been a dream to work with. It worked out of the box without issue. Set the ram at rated speeds and everything. So far it has been running 24/7 with a AMD Phenom 9950 BE without any issues.

Of course there is some negative aspects of this board. One issue is REV 1.0 of the board only has a 4-pin CPU connector. Rev 2.0 (the newest version) fixes the issue with a 8-pin which helps quad cores when being overclocked.

Second issue is the NB heatsink is a piece of junk out of the box. When we got it actually wasn't attached to the nb chip. So I had to fix that and it still is very loose. The problem is the push pins they use have to much slack between them. Screws would fix the issue.
