Great Board

Strengths: Stable overclocker my Q6600 at 3.0GHz at default voltage. Quick to POST easy to read and operate BIOS.

Weakness: Failed a post once and it didnt revert back to the last BIOS save like my old ASUS board did.

Great Board for its price. Has most of the features of the DS4 but not as many cooling pipes which makes it a good board for those not looking to break overclock records. The location of plugs and ports internally make it easy to route wires for better cooling.

Excellente Motherboard

Strengths: Great for overclock, High quality components, Dual BIOS easy to upgrade, a lot of accesories included.

Weakness: The motherboard is a little hot even without overclock. Maybe the version of EasyTune I am using is not yet 100% compatible with this model.

The Ultra Durable 2 + Dynamic Energy Saver make this one of the best P35 based Motherboard. Almost a Highend board for Midrange price, highly recommended.

great board on a budget

Strengths: real support for next processor, by that I mean it supports 1600 front side, plus 1200 ddr2 memory. plus duel bios . according to one review more energy efficient than ASUS 35 chip set boards.

Weakness: lacks quad bios of its bigger brother

Gigabyte did it again, putting all the great features of the hi end 38 chip set into the cheaper 35 chip set. so unless your using duel graphics cards who needs the 38 chip set. It also lacks duel either net. also includes a serial port, and with p c i slots veing few this is a great addition.
