XFX MI93007 AS9 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
I purchased to replace a problematic ASUS p5n-d and I have to say this board performed well above my expectations. Although the 9300 was a waste of money since most people who purchase boards now a days go with aftermarket GPU's. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the market for a good quality motherboard for under $100

It's sad that The board only supports HD audio nothing else

This board is Excellent, I would buy it again if I needed to, and I would recommend it to anyone. With that being said there are a few cons that I must point out: BIOS should be easier to work with, took a while to figure out the jumper to OC the Board, even with the jumper in OC mode you still cannot adjust EVERYTHING like voltages and FSB speed ect., it took a few reboots for the board to see my 250GTS (note:Don't bother with hybrid SLI, its useless), also the standard 775 heat sync refused to

I have had this motherboard for a month and couldn't be happier. It installed just fine with Windows 7 x64 as long as I used the drivers from Nvidia. I really like the video option of using either VGA and DVI. The green lights on the memory banks is a really cool effect.

works great no problems, side from not hav'n an IDE bus, but it's going to disapear with technology so no problems.

To be fair, the ball is currently in XFX's court as to what they'll do about my problem with this board. Their web support ticket procedure works pretty good. Before I bought this board I couldn't find a review discussing Blu-ray disk video on this board even though it 'supports' HDCP. For those who don't know: HDCP=High Definition Copy Protection (Sony calls it something else), that prevents Blu-Ray from playing over a digital connection (DVI or HDMI) if the player & monitor/TV don't both support HDCP) I'm on my second one of these boards because HDCP blu-ray support didn't work on the first one. I'd be perfectly happy with the board if HDCP worked. I've tried XP64, XP Pro, and Vista32 with no joy on HDCP. Cyberlink PowerDVD and WinDVD Pro for Blu-ray both return 'HDCP' failed to start errors on both of my HDCP capable monitors. Blu-ray only works with VGA.

This is a very good mATX motherboard. Installed and booted with no problems. Onboard graphics run smoothly. Also, having a CMOS reset button on the outside is a nice touch. There are no IDE hookups on this motherboard, so make sure your HDDs and Disc Drives are serial ATA, otherwise youll need an adapter.

bought this as an upgrade to a pc i built two years ago. bought it for a budget gaming/multimedia rig. have it paired with an xfx 9600gt, intel core 2 duo and 4 gig of ocz ram running vista 32. awesome value and some nice features. have not tried on board graphics though. overall i am happy with it.

I bought this for my first build. I am very happy with this unit. I bought the kit that has the E8400 processor with it. I have had many computers built for me for gaming in the past, and this one so far has handled everything I have thrown at it no problem. I do recommend though to make sure to get enough memory up front. I mis-calculated and had to order more. No ones fault but my own. TigerDirect is the best site I know. It seems like if they don't have it, you don't need it.

I absolutely love this board. No problems with install, has been running fine.....Got a couple blue screens initially but turned out to be bad RAM. I have this board paired with the E8400 and the 9800GT XXX Video Card....It runs circles around my other builds.

bought this mobo for a basic computer build, and have been pleased with it so far. It will play Supream Commander on medium settings with no problem. if you want to build a simple gaming computer that wont run you over $600.00 you will be good to go. Also I would suggest that you get an E series Intel Processer, at least a E8400 3.0ghz other wise this mobo is not going to be used for what it is worth.

Not the best on features but the 9300 gpu is worth it.
