EVGA X58 SLI LE Motherboard
The EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard is ready for extreme gaming and multimedia performance, taking advantage of powerful Intel Core i7 processors and SLI, including 3-Way SLI technologies. If you’re looking for massive data storage capability, this motherboard is exactly what you need. That’s because the EVGA X58 SLI LE’s six SATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 gives you an abundance of storage options, using high-speed, enterprise quality hard drives. Overclocking is easy with the onboard clear CMOS and RESET buttons. Other high-end features include solid capacitors, gigabit LAN, and 8 channel High Definition audio with coax and optical outputs.
The EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard supports up 6 DIMMs of Triple Channel DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600MHz *. Although the EVGA X58 SLI LE’s Super Hybrid Engine delivers world-record breaking performance, it can also radically reduce your power consumption. With the bold X58 motherboard chipset, Intel brings back Hyper-Threading technology, and combines it with a native quad-core design. This enables the EVGA X58 SLI LE to support 8 separate threads in the LGA1366 / Socket B CPU interface. The Intel QuickPath Interconnect provides a system bus speed of up to 6.4GT/s, while the three PCI-Express 2.0 slots take full advantage of either 2 or 3 graphics cards. For next-generation performance at today’s affordable price tag, order the EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard.
Note: A BIOS upgrade to version SZ1A may be required to use 1600MHz. The new BIOS, as well as upgrade instructions can be located on the EVGA website.

Pretty solid design, only problem I saw was that when I installed my Wireless card in to the PCI slot it covers the front audio port, so I have a front audio jack but i just cant use it, oh well, the back port works so not too bad

I did not buy this for heavy overclocking or heavy gaming, though it certainly gives me plenty of headroom to grow. It looks great and seems very heavy duty. I like the warranty length that EVGA includes. About the only thing I might wish for is one more USB header on the board. However, there are alot of ports on the back.
Good MB

I have experience in BIOS of another MB maker and this one is OK to figure out, as to adjust the overclock a little. One has to read a lot about that before doing it. So I just bumped up the BUS speed to 150 and with a stock cooler ,it keeps close to my default temp, and went to 3.1 GHz.
Good motherboard

Good motherboard to work with. Plenty of options in the BIOS, black always looks good and it's well laid out. Plenty of useful ports in the back and lots of future expansion. Definitely worth the money if you're going to be keeping the system for a long time. LCD on motherboard for CPU temp and error codes is a nice touch.
Before you buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this memory. For example, DDR Memory won't work with motherboards designed for only DDR2, SDRAM or RDRAM memory, and vice versa. Only use the memory speed recommended by your motherboard's manufacturer. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.
Know Your BIOS! With today's rapid pace of
design advancement, new product updates come fast and furious. This is
especially true of board-level products, like Motherboards, Video Cards, GPU
Processor Cards, and other main edge connector products. The good news is
that manufacturers have designed in the ability to easily update your
product BIOS, which is sometimes important for full compatibility. So before
installing or combining components, it is always a good idea to check your
product's current BIOS revision against the manufacturer's website, to
determine if an update is needed, or advisable. The manufacturer's
documentation will guide you through this process if it is necessary.
However, remember that most products are designed to be plug-n-play out of
the box!
But
What Is BIOS?
Most electronic devices,
from computers to MP3 players have software embedded in their hardware.
These are programs that tell the device how it will function - from basic to
advanced functions - so that it knows how to start, and perform the most
simple and complex tasks it was designed for. We call this software the BIOS
(sometimes also called Firmware). In computer jargon, BIOS stands for "Basic
Input/Output System", but in reality, there is very little "basic" about it.
In your computer's motherboard for example, it tells your computer how to:
start up; communicate with hardware components, such as hard drives and
video; how to move data in and out of memory; and even talk to your USB
connected devices. Without your BIOS, your device is JOOL (just out of
luck!).
Keep in mind that changing a PC's BIOS
settings incorrectly can cause the PC to malfunction. If this happens, a
BIOS reset is usually available, and will need to be performed to return the
BIOS to the default "factory settings." This is usually activated by a
jumper on the motherboard. [Warning: always read
your motherboard or system manual thoroughly, before upgrading your BIOS, or
making BIOS setting changes!] Though normally, most incorrect
settings should have no negative affect on your PC, but please follow each
step explicitly since some can.
Remember: It is recommended that you reboot
after each individual BIOS setting change to ensure that your system
functions normally. If you make numerous changes before rebooting, and your
system will no longer boot, you won't know which change is responsible for
the failure.
Updating Your BIOS
Before you consider updating your BIOS, be sure you need to - not every
update will be needed or even benefit you. Also be sure you are up to
the technical challenges you will face. Changing the version of BIOS
stored in your computer or motherboard is not the kind of activity
recommended for novice users. To perform this successfully, you need
to be comfortable and familiar with your BIOS settings, and be able to
download and apply the BIOS Update without issue. For this reason, it
is best to let professional computer technicians do this work for you, if or
when it is needed. However, if you know what you are doing, it is a
fairly easy task.
Before Updating BIOS, consider the
following:
The reasons for updating your BIOS -
frequently, updating is unnecessary
Identifying your BIOS chip - if
replacing is the approach required
Replacing your BIOS chip - this requires
significant care, and can void your warranty
Locating your latest BIOS version -
required for any update
Flashing your BIOS - make sure you have
a UPS!
Live update - great for minor or quick
updates - again a UPS is vital - a partial update can make your system
inoperative
Configuring your new BIOS settings -
read the manual! twice for good measure!
Upgrading Your Memory to Improve Performance
As programs get more complex, you’ll discover that your trusty PC may not
be working as quickly or efficiently as it used to. While your impulse might
be to purchase a new, more powerful computer, you can dramatically improve
performance simply by upgrading your memory. For far less than what you’d
pay for a new computer, a memory upgrade will often have your PC working
faster and more efficiently than ever before. Plus, it’s relatively easy
to install new memory and only takes a few minutes of your time. For our
step-by-step guide to simple memory installation click here.

Understanding
Computer Memory
Because memory is such a crucial element of our computer's performance,
we all understand that we need it in generous supply. However, questions
remain about what kind of memory is best, what functions each memory serves
and which memory is used for notebooks and PCs.
Click Here for more information
that will answer your many of your questions.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
* The above
values are for physical, not usable memory.
The amount of
