Cons: Could use maybe 2 more USB slots for people like me.Power delivery can be a little off
Pros: Extremely cheap alternative for gamingNo BS. Enough interface for a most people, no extras. Comment:
This basically does the job, but I've had trouble with my overclock. Maybe that's just me, some functions are missing from the BIOS, and it (seems) to have some issues with high voltages. This isn't a big deal though because it's by no means an "enthusiast" board, but oh well. Overall a great product. It makes me think I should perhaps spend less on my motherboard when options like this are on the market. |

Cons: Bought 3 of these for identical machines, one of them did not have a working pci-e 16 lane.Cannot be used to overclock too high.
Pros: Cheap, good enough if you arent over clocking. Comment:
Good enough for a cheap mobo.The bios has issues where you cannot set a voltage, instead its automatic and you can increase or decrease this by increments.This issue made high overclocks nearly impossible without insane temperatures. I got 67 degrees on prime 95 at 4.2ghz on antec 620.Voltage was auto regulated to 1.4v which is way over kill. Setting a decrement on voltage made BSODs when the processor was not operating because it went below 0.9v required for the CPU to idle.The motherboard also likes to squeak at low usage(chokes), had to disable speedstep so it doesnt throttle down and use chokes. This happened on 2/3 of the mobos. |
Faster Access, Bigger Storage Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available) as a cache for frequently accessed operations, speeding up hard drive/main memory interaction. Key benefits are expedited hard drive speeds, reduced load and wait times and maximized storage utilization. Power consumption also goes down by reducing unnecessary hard drive spin, an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing.
LucidLogix® Virtu is designed for the Intel® Sandy Bridge platform's powerful integrated graphics. Its GPU virtualization dynamically assigns tasks to the best available graphics resources based on power, performance and system load on Windows® 7 based PCs. It allows users to fully utilize the unique capabilities of advanced Sandy Bridge multimedia features alongside the high end 3D rendering performance provided by installed graphics cards. When no discrete graphics are needed, the graphics card is put in idle mode to lower utilization, heat, fan speed and power draw down to near zero, making the system more environmentally-friendly. For users with diverse needs, LucidLogix® Virtu GPU virtualization provides great flexibility and efficiency.
Only SATA cables/backplate are included in the box, 2 sata3 ports and no floppy or USB3 headers for newer cases. A viable option for an inexpensive upgrade to an existing case or a newer budget pc. Might want to spend a little bit more on a higher end board if you're sinking money into a completely new pc though.
