So far the best board I have ever had

Instaled on a new system with 12 gigs kingston ram and an i7-930 and everything worked fine. Dont yet have a use for the USB 3.0 or SATA 6 gig but ya never know. I havent over clocked yet so I cant comment on that. My only complaints so far are the little X-treme phase badge is stuck on the X58 heat sink crooked , the shield padding just gets in the way when instaling the board (had to compress it to line up mount screws) and the padding makes the shield budge out in the middle. The board could also probably use one more USB header. A few hints, make sure your ram will work befor you buy it, check the data sheet! Be aware the SATA 6 gig does not support raid.

sata 3 ports do not support raid

board works except for the fact that the sata 3 6gig ports do not support any raid array. It does not boot as fast as some other boards but I was very dissappointed for the money I paid for this
