So far so good!
Pros: Onboard Bluetooth, Sata III (6G). Working like a Champ.
Cons: Didn't detect memory timings correctly until specifically setting XMP in UEFI Bios. Onboard audio doesn't work using the analog outputs. Not a big deal, I have a decent audigy card that I've been using anyways. Haven't done any additional testing to see if it works. Using GPU on chipset with a PCI-E card doesn't seem very intuitive, haven't spent the time trying to get it working more yet.
Overall Review: Replaced a blown out nForce 680i with this board, i7-2600k CPU, G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), and OCZ Vertex 3 SSD.
Works great at standard settings
Pros: Works as expected, passmark scores close to 4000 when benchmarking. Standard timing settings weren't detected by ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 until setting the mobo to XMP.
Cons: None so far.
Smokin Fast
Pros: Put this on an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 with Core i7-2600k and 16 Gb ram. Boots windows 7 to desktop in around 10-11 seconds (after POST).
Cons: None that I am aware of yet. We'll see how long it lasts!
