this is a refurb, so I didn't have high expectations for presentation; but I got the first one, it was missing accessories and the I/O shield plate. Then when I installed it, the SATA controller started barfing almost immediately. Hung my O/S install partway through. RMA'd it, and the replacement was in great shape, had all parts and A PRINTED MANUAL!!! (Those are rare these days) Working great ever since.
Love it

Ive had my P6N Platinum for about 2 weeks now and I must say that I love it. It is running all 6 gigs and vid cards flawlessly, I did have some issues with the Ethernet port but after I found the correct drivers from Nvidia it was all plug/update and play. Great boards so far. A+++
Great Deal for Great Quality

I actually own three of these boards. I've been extremely pleased with them thus far. No issues or concerns. I've been running two of them for 1.5 years now and they continue to go strong. I felt this board offered several features and supreme quality while keeping the price within reason.
