Intel BOXDX58OG ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
n/a For some reason Intel put a tiny little heatsink on their I/O hub and mine would run at 180 (f) degrees idling if I didn't direct a case fan at it. The Intel Desktop Utilities temperature warning would pop up below load. If you look at other manufacturer designs for this board, the I/O hub commonly has a large heatsink. Some even go so far as to heatpipe it.

Dependable, high overall performance, layout is handy for most circumstances. None so far. Board gave me troubles through install and initial fire up. Has been operating nicely for 5+ weeks with Windows 7 - 64bit OS. Applications and entertainment have been quickly and difficulty no cost so far. Board temps with Cooler Master CPU cooling and high air flow situation have been lower than prior dual core set up.

N/A Bought two of these boards. 1 board would not fire up right out of the box. You would believe that a 赨 plus board would be tested and in working condition ahead of becoming sent out. Southbridge heat-sink is incredibly modest and be concerned-some. Wouldn't invest this substantially money on an Intel board once more.
