Great MOBO
Reviewed by Mark. Review Posted 13/12/2009
This is a great piece of kit....even if I did make the rookiw mistake of thinking it would fit in my old PC case!
Make sure you have an ATX compatible case and it slots right in.
Comes with some great software for tuning it up etc.
HDMI Port is a great touch, although I don't use it as I have a graphics card....but it does have Dolby 7.1 Home Theatre which will be great when I plug it into my big screen.

Nice Board
Reviewed by Mark Butler. Review Posted 30/07/2010
I also got stung by the new ATX standard. The cheapest 400W Corsair works fine at £ 35 as I'm using the onboard graphics.
Upgraded to BIOS F8 and unlocked my 555 X2 to a 755 X3 which is running perfectly :-)

You'll need an 8 pin (4+4) ATX power connector....
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 22/04/2010
It looks a great board for the money, but when I got it I realised it needed an 8 pin ATX connector. Ended up shelling £50 on a power supply - the cheapest decent compatible one I could find. Be aware of this before you buy. It is not obvious from the description.

Oh and another thing...
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 26/04/2010
...the onboard graphics are disabled as default. You will have to plug a graphics card in to see the bios to change it. Which kind of defeats the object of onboard graphics...
