ASUS P8Z68-V PRO LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: -Clean good looks
-Great Asus Software
-The EZ bios setup is nice feature
-Great spacing layout of componets

Cons: -Almost owned 2 years and no issues or problems.

Other Thoughts: Not much to say a great mobo if it fits your needs, have had 0 issues or problems, unless your building a very expensive or extreme machine this is all you really need.

Pros: I bought this product more than a year ago and I have not had a single problem with it. It comes with a very consumer friendly BIOS, that you are able to use a mouse with, and easy to follow options. The BIOS program even has a dashboard feature accessible from the desktop that you can use to monitor and control all of the fan speeds, temperatures, etc... I had plenty of ports for all of my case fans, and sata cords.

Cons: none

Pros: Great overclocking ability
Supports 32 GB of ram for the sake of things like Photoshop and video editing
Pretty much everything except the couple items in the cons section, neither of which has much of an impact on performance.

Cons: slow bios.
Takes 15s just to post, and can take more than that(up to 25s, maybe more) if I change some settings.

Fails to post if I set my 1600 MHz ram to 1600 MHz instead of 1333. Could possibly be the ram, and this isn't all that important to me. After all, 1333 ram is around 20-30 GB/s.

Other Thoughts: The slow bios is a really annoying problem for me. I paired this with a vertex 4 256 GB ssd which can boot windows 7 in less than 10 seconds. Because of this extra slow bios post, my boot time is now 28 seconds which is highly disappointing seeing as I can get faster boot times from slower SSDs paired with cheaper motherboards.

My motherboard does have the latest BIOS, hopefully asus will come up with a fix for this issue, but I highly doubt they will.

2500k @ 4.4 GHz
H80 water cooler
4 x 8 GB 1600 MHz ram
Radeon HD 4670
256 GB vertex 4 SSD
Fancy 9 TB nas (4 x 3TB, raid 5) for all other storage needs

Pros: As far as I am concerned it is a great MB.

Cons: The Bluetooth died in it.

Pros: Not the most fully featured board, but rock solid and stable for OCing with a 2500K. No complaints.

Cons: none

Pros: Perfect, get one, just, get one.

Cons: None so far

Pros: I've had this board running in my machine for over 9 months. As an IT professional this board has surpassed every other system I've used and built. Asus is known for stability and functionality AND this board performs both extremely well.
I'm running this board with an I7-2600K (3.4-3.8GHz) processor, 16GB CORSAIR Vengeance (4X4GB), (2) Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD drives in a RAID 0 and (2) AMD 6850 (Black Edition) video cards in SLI. WITHOUT any over-clocking this set-up achieves 7.9 on Windows Experience Index

Cons: none

Pros: I have had this motherboard for about a year now and have not had one problem. Any problems I did have with this motherboard was user error. With its Asus EZ mode getting into and using you Bios is simple. I have my cpu overclocked at 4.10Ghz and it was done using this motherboard, it even tells you if the overclocking you tried will work or not. It makes it so easy to do it. Another great thing about this motherboard is the fact that you can control fan speeds, cpu clock speed, gpu clock speed, blutooth capabilities,...etc its just awesome. I would recommend this motherboard.

Cons: Has a weird POST beep, and it is difficult to setup RAID with the Sata port setup.

Other Thoughts: I have 1 years experience under my belt with building 2 computers. I purchased this motherboard for myself and it is awesome.

Pros: Installed and setup in less than an hour. Straight forward.
Bios-cool GUI with Basic and Advanced options.

have had since December without a glitch. have not tried overclocking yet.

I like that Asus keeps updating and improving BIOS (going home tonight to update, in fact)

Cons: None to date.

Other Thoughts: wish I had pre-thought the whole PCI-Express 3.0. Bought this in December. It's 6 months later and the same version of the board is out now, but as "GEN3". Guess I can only blame me for not waiting. Wish ASUS offered some sort of 'step--up' program like EVGA

Pros: Easy OverClocking
Easy CPU install
Easy period
Performs Great

Cons: I haven't had anything come up to be wrong with this board.

It does have one USB3 header on the mother board, as well as 2 rear usb 3 ports. I was able to hook up from front side USB3 ports to the usb3 header and leave the external ports (external).

Other Thoughts: A lot of people complain about the SATA III ports. 2 Of them are on the Intel Controller, and 2 of them are on a separate Marvell Controller. This means only two sata III ports can be included in the boards built in raid controller during raid configuration.

The other two are controlled by the OS.

I actually found this to be preferable, because 2 of the Sata III ports I have plugged into a 5"1/4" SDD Dock bay I use for running Virtual Machines for sharepoint development, and I hot swap the drives in that bay, so it's good that they are not bios controlled or part of the raid configuration.
