Member Reviews: Asus P9X79 WS SSI CEB Intel Motherboard with USB BIOS

Well, I've had the pleasure of owning this nice motherboard for about 6 months. The board itself is really well made. Nothing feels flimsy, and nothing feels about ready to snap off. It is a SSI CEB board, but it is able to fit into normal ATX cases, and will fit snugly in a mid tower with room to spare for cabling. The board itself is very good at overclocking. I have been able to get my 3930K to 5GHz using this board-and its not even made for overclocking. DRAM overclocking is quite nice too, I was able to attain 2200MHz on my Blackline Ridgebacks at cas9 thanks to the dedicated 2 phase power for the DRAM. Which brings me to my next point. There is 10+2 Phase power just for the CPU...

I absolutely love this board. I got it from Newegg open box for $260. It came with every thing except the original box. Best alternative to the Rampage IV extreme. I wanted Rog performance without the limited colors (Red & black). Great over-clocker, I recently got my 3820 to 4.5ghz on air (will go higher once I get the chip on water).
