Pre-Install Preview
Strengths: Good feature set/high quality components
Weakness: Must remove "Crazy Cool" heatsink from back side of motherboard to use many aftermarket CPU heatsinks.
Once removed, it is required to attach screw nuts (supposed to be included with the motherboard) to keep the north bridge heatsink fixed to the board.

Nowhere in the package documentation or product manual is this warranty...

Great Motherboard
Strengths: Good Looking Board Great Copper Heat piping Fan-less High Overclocking Potential
Weakness: None so far hopefully wont have any :)
Some Ram for this board will need a voltage increase, default is 1.8v. The ram I have needs 2.2v default. Just a small glitch but it will say DDR18v Fail in the bios settings.
Everything runs great.

You have to push down hard on two diagonal sides with the board on the plastic packaging. When installing...

9-way Intel P35 motherboard round-up
Anyone looking at building a new desktop system should not look any further than Intel Core 2 processors, and when time comes to pick a platform you should have Intel's own P35 chipset in mind as it officially offers 1333MHz FSB support and will be compatible with upcoming 45nm processors. This translates in a fairly 'future-proof' platform, with some models currently available supporting DDR3...
