Pros: Great new Overclocker from AMD !! Took it right to 2.8 on default vcore .. Paired up with the Biostar TForce 550 .. Incredible price/performance value...

Cons: none

Overall Review: Looking forward to getting it to the 3g + Range with some tweaking .. HSF that comes with it shouldn't be a problem at default vcore, but if you are going to run it up, you might think about an HSF upgrade..

Pros: Newegg RMA process

Cons: Only one memory socket would work

Overall Review: Great features at this price-point, but meaningless if it doesn't work.. Spent $20 more for the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and not having any problems

Pros: Research showed that GeIL has very good reputation, while not getting much attention. Timing on these sticks is better that other sets that are priced higher.. They booted at rated numbers ( well, almost - see comments ) in Asrock X99 Extreme4 with 5960X...

Cons: None at this time..

Overall Review: I added these to my new 5960X build using Asrock X99 Extreme 4.. The frequency & timings defaulted to the listed specs except tRAS shows 36 instead of the published 35... I don't think that is a big deal, and am not going to worry about it.. I would have preferred blue spreaders ( .. or even black ) to go better with the Asrock board, but the red and blue mix give it what I call the " Captain America " look, so I can live with it...

Pros: Just read the details on the product page and compare with other boards.. This board has more features than other so-called premium boards that can cost $100 or more than the price for this board. I won't name names, but you can easily see for yourself.. The Sound card is worth at least $50 compared to the Realtek integrated sound of other boards.. This board is not getting the attention it deserves, but maybe that is a good thing in that it keeps the price down.

Cons: Hard to find any, but here is a nit-pick .. I think it is kind of lame for them to include two molex-SATA power connectors in this package. If you are putting together a system with this board, you should have a premium PSU with all the SATA power connectors you will ever need .. ( LOL )

Overall Review: I left a 1-Star review on another X79 board where I couldn't get RAID to work .. As it turns out, it may have been my fault, but I got ZERO help from the board maker, which I am now grateful for, since Newegg gave me a full refund and I was able to buy this board for a few dollars more and with far more features.

Pros: Good Idea

Cons: Cannot set up RAID during post or in OS with Intel RST drivers. Yes, SATA mode in BIOS is set to RAID ! During POST you should get a prompt to press CTRL + I for the Intel RAID or CTRL + M for Marvell. Neither of those options show during POST.

Overall Review: This is clearly a crippled BIOS. I can't believe they are shipping this board in this condition. Newegg should be confirming this, and working with ASUS for a fix. If they cannot fix soon, they should offer full refund, no questions asked. I Have always had great results with ASUS, and have a P8Z68 with no issues.

Pros: Terrific mounting solution.. Best I have ever used. Relatively small size makes for great case and mobo compatibility .. ( Asus P8P67 Pro ) Running P95 with 2600K at 4.5g/1.3v - Temps in high 60's

Cons: Fan a little loud when running P95 @ 4.9g ...
