This is the best motherboard i have ever used. Every single option you can think of is in it for overclock. Every thing can get adjusted with voltages. There is absolutely no Voltage droop when under stress which i love. You can run it at any frequency and still be stable. its one board ill not be upgrading from for like 5 years!!!


Score

Features/BIOS: 10/10
Appearance: 10/10
Functionality: 9.5/10 it has a long boot time but i heard its normal for X58 boards
Stability: 10/10

Not a very good review IMO. Atleast show some pics of the board and bios pics. And post overclocks and things.

lol i would give it a 7/10. its a great board and all, but they did a few things wrong, first they chose the IHS temp over the NB temp, it was one or the other. and my IHS temp is 3c lower then ambient. second, NB runs hot when using 3 video cards, 3rd, the MOSFET heatsink is on the weak side. and bios can be confusing. and the board is Eatx, which is not a problem for me at all. but you never know.

lol go look at eleet, it gives you CPU temp, that is the IHS and will report lower then ambient. the sensors are there for NB they just chose that over the NB, put a fan on your mosfet heatsink, it will drop almost 10c, and you dont have the NF200 version so the heat isnt really an issue with you, but im using 3 cards and stressing the piss out of the NB area and when i was on air, it got HOT!!!
