Customer Reviews

Making Justice here ,,, ¡GREAT BOARD!
I've read the bad raiting review posted before me, and I just think it is not fair, so here is my review.

I am a low budget gamer enthusiast and fan of computer building, and
I've worked before with about 30 diferent MOBOS, AMD and INTEL based systems.

I AM NOT A TECH GUY OR AN OVERCLOCKER.

I received this Board along with an INTEL dual core E2140 and a pair of 1gb corsair xms2 pc5400.
Nothing broken on the package.
Installation was not a problem. I placed the MOBO inside the case. CPU in place with no problems. LGA 775 fan securing mechanism it is not a good one, but its not only in this Board.

RAM placed on slots without problems.

Powering the BOARD, its a metter of searching for the right conectors in the power supply cables. There is only one way to fit cables, You cant go wrong doing this. ( I have a 400watt PWS)

Then I placed the SATA DVD and hard drive.
Atx case cables, are very easy to place, so is the USB conn.

I didn't clear cmos before turning on the PC.

I installed a xfx 8600 gt PCI express graphics card.

I turned on the switch, and at post a message of restarting appeared. So I did and VOILA!!!

After installing wxp pro THERE WAS A PROBLEM: PS/2 MOUSE WILL LIGHT UP BUT WIL NOT WORK!!!!! usb mouse solved this.

PS/2 keyboard works fine.

TESTS:

The Main purpose of this system was gaming, so Ive installed my old games.
Doom 3.- it is a GREAT PLEASSURE TO PLAY IT HERE,, SMOOTH, SMOOTH, No lagging at all, and Ive been using high quality settings.
Unreal tournament 2004 .- Same history, very smooth graphics at high settings, with great colors.
Medal of Honor.- the same great results.

¡¡¡ VERY STABLE, NO FREEZING, NO REBOOTING, NO NOTHING!!!

So far, this is the most stable, high end board Ive owned. For me it is more than enough. The PS/2 maouse issue it has been reported by other users using 650i and 680i chipset, I dont have an answer for that, and I will contact evga support, I will update this issue on this review soon, and I will add the FPS numbers on the games I use.

I am very pleased with my hardware. Im Gaming again !!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: PS/2 MOUSE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. i CHANGED THE MOUSE WITH A NEW ps2 MOUSE AND WORKS JUST GREAT !!!!!
NOW i GIVE 5 STARS

easy to install runs perfect
Comes with a skimpy manual, but then again it covered the basics as to what you need to do to install it. It helped to give a very simple and easy to install experience. Highly recommend it, it's an excellent price and it runs beautifully.

Excellent board
This board is very easy to use. I use it in a build with a C2D, generic ram, HD3850, X-Fi Platinum, IDE+SATA optical drives, SATA HDD's... Everything works fine.

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews. The one guy clearly has no idea how to troubleshoot his components. With a good case and a good PSU, this board will run fine. If you have a poorly shielded case or a faulty PSU, you'll have issues with any board you try to use.

I never had to RMA this board, but EVGA has an option when you register it to upgrade the warranty to advanced exchange where they send you a replacement in two days or something. I believe it costs something like $8/9 and they cover shipping under the program. Again, never had to use it, but there's no reason that user had to wait 30 days to get a working board.
