GREAT mother board, bought it recertified and it runs sooo great. i've had it for 6 or 7 months now. only problem, is that now it finally died on me. i'm currently trying to fix it, but its not going too well, had a water pump fry on me and the safety temp shut it down. i bought a new pump and it ran ok, but as soon as it started up i got blue screen of death, and have gotten it ever since then. though now it wont boot up at all, wont even go to the booting screen! it just stays blank and the error readout just says ''C0'', no idea what it means since i dont have a manual T.T

great mobo plenty of things to work around with veyr full featured for the price only one ide ... had a psu problem so havent been able to run it

Traumajock there is a 1000wat Ultra PSU that has a detachable 8pin connector that turns into two 4 pin connectors. Maybe yours is detachable or just buy the PSU

Pros: 1st, I am impressed. It runs fast and sweet. No problems with first boot. No tweaking needed to be done. Left everything as it came default from the factory. I wasn't sure about EVGA,I personally have no history with their products but I did buy the EVGA MB and Video Card. Both work great together. Cons: The instructions are stupid. They seem simple and direct but I had one problem. This motherboard has a new 8 prong power connector and My brand new 580 watt power supply only had 4 prong. What do I do. Well, the instructions for sure don't tell you. After a short mediation I connected the 4 prong in 1/2 the 8 prong slot. In fear that I would blow up the MB. Well, it came on but didn't work. Then I switched to the other side runs like a dream. So, Still not sure about the other 1/2 of that power port but a little information about it would be great. Otherwise excellent buy and I hope this helps you if you have the same problem.

I have had board up and running for about a month now. I wanted to wait to write a reveiw, after reading so much negative stuff about this board. It works perfectly!! I think the people writing all the bad stuff about the 590 were folks that werent that computer savvy. ive got a Athlon46x2 clocked at about 3gig and its a screamer. stable and cool.
