Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Biostar products have not failed me yet. I take it out of box fire her up and BAM i'm running my system that has msi drivers loaded i didnt even bother to redo the system. I am going to but im lazy. over clocked my I7 to 3.2 and the system is running my corsair mem at 1333. life is good. going to push the DO stepping 920 higher but I'm waiting on my megahalems with noise blocker fans. all my temps are fine in my HAF. Try the board.
Cons: if one decided to throw a sli into the system with this board may want to think about space looks to me things could get cramped after sli and maybe a sound card or something for physics. Color Scheme! biostar could do better here (much better!)if they opted for a look like something from foxconn, and what they have done with the blood rage, and combine that with the OC ability biostar has shown with the x48 and x58. I think they could be really on to something.
Other Thoughts: I used to be Asus man all day every day; then my asus boards would come standard with problems such as: pci slots falling off,faulty mem slots and bad usb ports. One man can only take so much before you decide enough is enough. I chose biostar cause I have a couple AMD boards still running after almost 2 years, and I like to root for the smaller guy.
Core I7 920, Biostar X58a, Corsair cheap memory (soon to change to Mushkin redlines) Corsair 750Tx, Evga 260, coolermaster HAF Full tower and a soon to be in my case Megahalems in a push pull config with 2 noise blocker 1800 rpm fans. and generic harddrives (for now) Biostar x58 eye of terror edition!

Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: I was a little worried about buying this since I never heard of Biostar before but I would definitely buy more of there products.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price is OK and booted right up... IOH Temps are around around 50 degrees C, compared to around 60-65 degrees for the MSI X58 Platinum SLI.
Cons: All the USB ports were faulty... would not run my Corsair XMP RAM at 1600MHz... even though the MSI does. Compared to the MSI board, the documentation is a joke... hardly any BIOS details are explained so if you have no idea what certain things mean, then stay out of it! The MSI board explains every detail and feature of the BIOS. USB controller was defective.
Other Thoughts: This was my fourth Biostar motherboard and I swore by their products... until this one came along. For some reason, everytime I started my PC and booted into windows Vista 64, it would not recognize any of my USB peripherals. I had to restart the computer each and every time to get it recognize them. Even while using my PC, it would randomly disconnect my USB keyboard, network adapter, etc for no reason. I tried updating all the drivers, including the Biostar motherboard/chipset drivers, and nothing worked. I went to "small" Center and picked up a MSI X58 Platinum SLI board for much less and it works perfectly.

I really had no problems ever with Biostar on my 3 prior boards, it's a shame to have to send this back...
