Solid as a rock in a cops face.

Strengths: Solid board from top to bottom. I tried some other value series type boards that weren't close to this one's quality. Nice bundle. Sound card is okay. Great reviews from Toms Hardware.

Weakness: No sli available. Heat pipes might be a tight fit for any after market cooler. I used the coolermaster hyper tx2 for ease of installation and decent cooling. Price may be a little steep for some.

Quality Motherboard

Strengths: Lots of features

Weakness: Overpriced, Very picky with ram. The northbridge/southbridge get VERY hot.

I bought this motherboard mostly due to wanting a motherboard that has a lot of features. Normally I don't spend this much on a board, but did this time. If I had to do it again, I would buy a less expensive board which overclocks just as easily. This board does have a lot of fan connections, which is very nice. It also has a nice lcd screen for debugging. My Transcend DDR2 ram doesn't appear...
