Best board I've ever had!

I bundled this board with an Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3Ghz Unlocked LGA1155 CPU... Fastest PC I've ever owned!

Good Intermediate Board

Good value for board with many features. Issues setting up; no manual, so if you need to do any tweaking you will have to go online. If all you need is to plug and play the board sets up easily. Read several online setups prior to building with this board and it will ease your build. Still have issues with board showing errors for drivers. Marvell91xxx and 3.0 USB driver. I have installed latest from Intel, and all work correctly. System view shows no faults on any devices but I still get the popup that board wants errors fixed. It will also display that board does not support this version of Marvell91xxx, but do not have any issues with XFX 6970's in Crossfire config.

Best In Class!

I bought this board with the intention of having it last me a while. With 6 slots for memory and 3 PCI-E slots, it's hard to top. Be warned though, this board only works with I7 and Xeon processors. It DOES NOT work with I3s or I5s.

This board manufacturer bites me again

I selected this one because of the feature set. From the moment I got it I had issues with setting it up. It was very difficult to get the raid - 6g controller setup that I wanted (small SSD boot drive on 6g controller, with a raid on the 3g controller for speed for where i store my profiles). It's performance was good once i got it set up, but not what I expected. 3 months later I did a firmware update. The board started giving me errors and will no longer boot. After days of attempting to reflash the board and change settings to allow it to boot, I am now RMAing the board. My last board (from this manufacturer) gave me fits getting it set up as well. I am never getting an board from this manufacturer again, great at making processors and chipsets, lousy at applying them to a product.

Memory Issues

Would be a nice product if you could load the memory profiles without it locking the computer up. I went to Intel's website and made sure my memory (Kingston Hyper X 1600) was supported and it is but every time you try to load the memory profile or adjust the memory speed from stock it randomly locks the cpu up. ASUS Rampage III here I come.
