“Love this Board!”
Preordered this motherboard and got it installed last week. Been testing throughout the weekend and it is a great HTPC board I have to say! Love the 10 USB ports and the 2 internal connections for up to 4 more in the case. Make sure you have HDMI audio enabled when outputting to it. Also make sure to update bios to enable CPU fan throttling and turn off the evaluation message.
Have yet to overclock the board but it is possible from what I’ve seen in the bios.

This cutting-edge processor offers significant performance boosts and provides an overall more energy efficient platform.
“Nice little Clocker”
This is a nice little mATX board. I’m running my E2160 at 3.42 GHz. This CPU ran at 3.51 on my EP35-DS3R. I haven’t tried to push it past 3.42 on this budget board, but it will probably go higher if set vcore above 1.5v Gigabyte said this board wasn’t a good OC board, but I’m pretty satisfied for the $. The clocking features are very simple and easy to OC.
“Excellent low priced board for HTPC.”
Excellent low priced board for a home theater PC. I just used a 7800 Gt PCI express video card instead of the onboard video, just popped it in the bios even disabled the onboard video for me. Easiest build ever, takes new Intel 45nm chips even, Intel Wolfdale 5200 overclocked from 2.5 ghz to 3.2 ghz without upping any voltages. Runs Blue-Rays movies easily with 2 GB ram. Been running solid for 3 months, 24/7 no problems. Buy one.
“Good reliable board”
I have 2 running W7 & Vista, they are solidly reliable, no troubles & fast. One is using the onboard graphics with a 19″ monitor at 1440x900x60 analog & displays HDTV & movies no problem. HD digital audio out (SPDIF) is a nice feature, but they don’t include a connector bracket/cable so you need a 2 pin header to RCA adapter cable. I just plugged mine into my graphics card (also a 2 pin header) on the w7 machine & feed the digital audio out through the HDMI cable (if you have a graphics card that can do this).

“EVGA shows its colors”
Actually, it just shows black and green with splashes of blue and white.
I haven’t had any trouble with this MoBo. I love the layout–although if I were a 3-way SLI-er, and you know who you are, I might have trouble connecting some auxiliary cables (front HD audio).
Great BiOS, easy to use.
“Great board. Your P/S must have an EPS12volt, 8-pin connector”
PROs:
– Solid board. Very heavy compared to most other mobo’s I’ve worked with (heavy being a good thing, due to the heatsink material,which you want in a mobo that will be running an i7)
Easy install
Easy setup.
I ordered one for a client and it operates fine. It was built for a business environment, so it is built as a desktop PC, NOT a gaming rig.
-cables – EVGA includes like 5 or 6 Sata cables, about 4 molex-to-sata adapters.
-adapters – evga includes the video connectors for multiple video card operation.
– onboard reset and cmos reset buttons
– 2 digit display on mobo, as a troubleshooting tool
– Warranty – register within 30 days and you will get the lifetime warranty on this mobo.
Otherwise it is only 2 years.
– Advanced RMA options:
NOTE: When you register this mobo at EVGA, you get ONE OPPORTUNITY to upgrade to an “Advanced RMA” program.
If you pass on it during registration, you will NOT get a second chance to order the advanced RMA option.
