Runs smooth
Pros: Pricing is perfect for what I need. So far it's blasted through whatever I've given it without a hiccup. Happy with my purchase of this processor. Coming a long way from my last desktop CPU AMD K8 processor. Perfect paring with my Coolermaster Nepton 280 L.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: Intel Core i7 4820K Ivy Bridge-E Asus x79 Deluxe MB 32 GB of Corsair Vengence DDR3-1600 Samsung Evo SSD 120 & 250 GB Evga GTX 770 DUAL Superclocked 4 GB GDDR5 RAM Evga SuperNova 1300 W PSU Coolermaster Storm Trooper Windows 7 Professional
Nepton 280L
Pros: Very solid. Looks great. Relatively quiet.
Cons: The way the fans are mounted in the picture, the fan blades tend to sag downwards and the blades were actually hitting my CPU power cable/clip and hindering the blades from spinning. Had to flip them around and have fan house guards up against the clip so it wouldn't block it from spinning. So far so good. Definitely a tight fit even in my Cooler Master Storm Trooper.
Great Board
Pros: Great Features on X79 Chipset. Futureproofed for next couple years. Includes Wifi AC. Easy to set up. Great looking MB.
Cons: Not enough native SATA III ports for HDs but that's the natures of the X79. Had to disable legacy USB in BIOS to get the board to start up without blowing a code on the MB LED readout on boot up.
Overall Review: So far so good. First build in several years. Have always owned an ASUS MB. Hasn't disappointed yet.
