Overall Review: Running on a MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI motherboard with G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series AMD EXPO 32GB at 6000 MHz without any issues. PBO MSI ehanced profile boosts to stable 5.5 GHz without issues.

Overall Review: Used with MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI with EXPO loaded and running without issues at 6000 MHz.

Overall Review: All of the features needed for a high tier board. Has 4x M.2 NVMe slots with beefy heat sinks, 2x gen5 + 2x gen4, for future proofing upgrades. Includes 6 SATA ports without disabling any of them when all 4 M.2 slots are populated, great for maximizing any storage needs. Has 2 temperature sensor headers for confirming coolant temps on custom watercooling builds. Compatible with all major brand water cooling blocks. Only problem is their Mystic light software for RGB is rough. Not the easiest software to use and doesn't reliably change the RGB for connected devices. Performance is great running Ryzen 9 7900X with PBO and enhanced MSI profile topped out at stable 5.5 GHz during benchmarks. 32GB of DDR5 with EXPO at 6000MHz using GSkill sticks from their QVL without any issues.

Pros: Great stability with OC to 1600 Trimmed timings down to match the XMP profile (speed at 1333) of 7-8-8-23 but at higher speed, 2 passes of Memtest no errors. Incredible set manages low timings at more than 20% higher than the XMP profile speed.

Cons: Could use some more surface area for the heat sink fins for better cooling, but it's adequate.

Overall Review: EK Waterblock watercooled system Gigabyte X58A-UD5 Rev.2 Intel i7 970 @ 3.2, OC to 4.2 (EK Supremacy watercooled) PowerColor 2GB Radeon HD 6870 X2 (2x EK VGA Universal Supremacy watercooled) XFX 2GB Radeon 9870 (stock fan cooled) Samsung 840 SSD 500GB (OS + most played games) OCZ Agility 3 128GB (Other games) Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB (Most used software)

Pros: Very fast load times Reliable within the first year Overall with routine maintenance (see cons) it is still reliable, going into 17 months.

Cons: Even with a listed confirmed compatible MB, after about 10 months the drive started to have corrupted files including the file system causing Windows to not load. 16 months of use I had to repair Windows 3 times due to the corruption. I have found that this is avoidable with monthly chkdsk on the drive to fix all the corrupted files.

Overall Review: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) - OCZ listed as compatible with RevoDrive Intel Core i7-970 @ 3.2GHz G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) Crossfire 3 GPUs: PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 x2 2GB & XFX Radeon HD 6870 2GB NZXT 1000W PSU Windows & BF3: OCZ RevoDrive 120GB PCI-E x4 Drives for other games & software: Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB SATA III OCZ Agility 3 120GB SATA III General Storage: Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA III

Pros: 2 GPU crossfired on one card Heat piped heat sinks and large area fins Temps are good under heavy load, typical at idle Considering there's 2 GPUS on one card the fan noise is pretty good

Cons: A long card and heavy heat sinks makes the card sag downward towards the end. I don't like seeing a card bending, maybe could have put something to make it more rigid. Using the power cables at the end to prop it up so not that big of a deal.

Overall Review: 3 GPU crossfire with XFX 6870 2GB memory for total of 4GB, runs smooth and no problems with compatibility between 2 different brands. GPU above the XFX card runs 10C higher than GPU at the front with open space. Having more open space for the fans really helps it cool better but can't do anything about that.
