4.0 out of 5 stars Good mobo, January 27, 2007

I just bought this mobo with Athlon64 3200+ and installed XP on it. It works flawlessly. I do not even need to tweak the BIOS. The mobo seems to be well made. All the capacitors are of Japanese brands. Definitely No cheap Taiwanese capacitors, which fail after 2-3 years (my Abit KT7A-Raid, Epox 8KHA+ and my friend's ECS mobo all died within 3 years due to blown capacitors. Abit even recalled some of its KT7A).

However, there is an issue with its chipset fan. It's one ball and one sleeve bearing fan, which generally last only one year. Moreover, the fan's unique shape made finding a replacement impossible.

I purchased two of these for some low cost PC's for office. The fan over the NB chip went out on both boards after a few months. The location of this fan makes it difficult to replace because of location to the video card.

Other than that this has been a great little mobo and bargain basement price.

i'll keep this short and sweet. the northbridge fan goes from noisy, to seizing after a few months, and replacing it is almost impossible because finding a low enough profiled fan is next to rediculous. now the capacitors are bulging, and to avoid a reformat i can only buy this piece of junk again so that it can last me another year or two. avoid this mobo at all costs!
