I am not happy with this motherboard for one main reason, there is no on board video! It would have been VERY helpful if this is mentioned somewhere in the product description or if they even would put a picture of the Back Panel Connectors on here instead of just leaving mention of it out of the specs(which could just be seen as something was accidentally left out). In terms of value it is pretty cheap if you need a quick replacement.

I got this mobo to replace a Asus P5NSLI that is just over a year old and cost me around $125.It has been rebooting for no reason almost since day one,I couldn't take it any more so i went looking for a cheap replacement just in case it wasn't the motherboard.Turns out it was the motherboard and the new ECS mobo is working great,my machine is running better than it did when i first built it.I am a verry happy camper.

Bought this board added 2gig dual channel cosair ddr2 800mhz and a Pentium D 3Ghz. Overclocked to a 3.7ghz safely with safe over clock features. Added a 8600GTS scored 6180 out of the box on 3DMark 06. This board overclocks great bought this board for a cheap replacement never going to get rid of it now. Plus the color of the board looks great in a clear sided case.

Works great. With SATA 3.0 and Dual PCI-E it was worth the buy. No onboard video though had to buy video card. Came with Gigabit LAN awsome.
