Ultra budget build if you have an old video card and other bits, as I do. Processor support given as 95 watts on the Newegg page, with some 125 Watt chips listed on the ECS page (mostly with an asterisk next to the listing). Feedback comments: no core unlocking, and more 1 and 2 star reviews than I like to see.

Yeah I saw that this morning and was about to order until I read reviews. Way to many DOA's with that board. I still 'might' order one but its not as good as it first seemed before I read reviews.

For an ECS board, that is some very old school Gigabyte color scheme going on !! Good luck with this deal, as the numerous reviews worry me too much to put this in my HTPC rig.

I've had this board for 2 years in my main rig the only problem I've had is the on board ethernet went out.

Even though theres no bios option for acc, I wonder if you can enable it through the AMD Ocing Application.....

Have used these in a couple cheap builds and had good luck with both the board and the rebate.

the one I got from NE in Dec. was the grey one (the red/green/blue one is probably an older version). It's a cheap board. Mine ran for several days then went off the deep end, along with the psu (an old Antec Neo 480w)--not sure which killed which. It also lacks ACC, so you can't unlock duo/triple-core processors. Now I have to spend money to RMA it. Overall, a very basic board. BTW, I also got the rebate (don't forget to write the serial number on the rebate form).
