Please note that my review is focused on Intel Motherboards not Intel Processors. Processors work just fine but motherboards are piece of crap.
There is something you all shall know about Intel which I learned the hard way-
1- Repair/Replacement take 20-25 days normally. Their own customer care openly admits it. If your board is older than a year than the replacement may take 35+ days.
Compare this with other companies who replace motherboard within same day or 2-3 days at most.
2-Intel motherboards are 20-30% more expensive, have less features and are made of cheaper parts. Intel uses cheap capacitors and sells its motherboards at premium price.
3-Intel motherboards CANNOT be overclocked. This is an ridiculously stupid restriction and actually just an cheap way of cutting cost. Oh and Intel mobos have worst bios as they dont include failsafes.
4-Worst customer care. Wont listen to your complaints.
5- Idiotic repair shop. After 30 days when I got replacement mobo it was WRONG MOBO. They sent me wrong mobo of same product line. Mine mobo had PCI-E slot for my Graphics card but this one had no such slot! How irresponsible can one be? I simply traded that mobo and bought an MSI motherboard.
Avoid Intel motherboards at all costs.
