My processor only runs 3 cores on SW Processor mode enabled, if I disable it on the bios the entire system lags with 4 cores on, the bios runs slow and I believe I have to reinstall Windows to use the iflash utility with a USB, not sure how to fix the problem, already tried taking out the CMOS battery and pushing the power button for a minute while unplugged, and disabling SW processor mode just makes the system lag. Would consider another board but running my processor on 3 cores is fine for almost all tasks, just a bit of lag sometimes, if you get this board, make sure you get a q9550 or q9650 to make up for the lost core, or try to figure out a way to run them all without it lagging. I'll prolly reinstall Windows and try to reflash the bios and see if it fixes it, otherwise I think it's my cpu that doesn't work properly.Read full review

Look closely at the picture. The motherboard I ordered has six audio I/O connections. The motherboard I received has only three. Also it took eight days to arrive. I'm blaming that on FedEx. Other than that it was still a great bargain. The board works fine except for the audio-in connection. I get nothing. I installed an audio card and it works fine. To use my headphones I have to unplug the speakers and plug in my headphones. If I had received the motherboard in the picture I could have had surround sound. I'll keep the board because it was a good deal. Disappointed.

I've recently built 2 PC's with the DG31PR MB from Intel. Couple this MB with an Intel E8400 CPU and 4GB of PC2-6400 RAM, a Solid-State Hard Drive and a decent video card and you get a screaming machine that will rival some i5-equipped computers at a fraction of the cost. I love that it has temperature sensors on the CPU, NorthBridge and SouthBridge - and the E6400 runs cool with just the stock HSF assembly. Intel has all of the needed drivers for all of the operating systems - at least through Windows 7. (Not all legacy Intel MB's have Windows 7 drivers - be careful!) Intel doesn't provide overclocking capability, but if you want a rock-solid machine on a budget - the DG31PR is a great place to start!

Live in town, have a small shop. Low income area. This is my standard for most people. I always add a NVidia fx 580. And 4gb. maybe 320gb hdd. Builders - - always use a IO shield. Nothing should be able to get in but dust.

Put it in my main PC because the mobo broke and so I got this. Popped it in and has been working great with a max configuration of my q9650, 4gb 800mhz kingston ram, and my gtx 580. This was so good that I chose it out for my friends budget PC I made for him. And it worked fine for him too. I cannot tell you how thankful I am.
