ASUS P9X79 PRO Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E

review by kizwan

It's no doubt in performance/price ratio, P9X79 PRO is among the best motherboard. With XMP profile DDR3 modules & i7-3820, I can easily overclock the processor to 4.5GHz. This motherboard features 8 DIMMs which can support up to 64GB of RAM. I'm running virtual machines (VM) extensively, at least 5 VMs at the same time. The 64GB of RAM will definitely help me running more VMs & this will increased my productivity. It also support multi-GPU; 3-way SLI (including Quad-SLI configuration) & Quad-GPU CrossFireX, where dual x16 or x16, x8, x8. If you're in the market for X79 platform, please consider P9X79 PRO.

ProsCons
Very good performer. In term of performance, it doesn't lag behind the R.O.G. boards.PCIe x1 ports are inaccessible if running 3 GPUs
