6 Cores of Awesome!

Pros: Excellent processor for multimedia applications such as burring, compiling, ripping, etc... Great for gaming and overclocks pretty decently.
Cons: Expensive! No need for the price to be this high Intel.
Overall Review: I wanted a processor that wouldn't be obsolete in another 6 months. Combined with a P6X58D Premium this thing rips. Haven't ran into any issues. Runs everything I throw at it seamlessly.
Problematic board and a disappointment.

Pros: -Lots of features -Aesthetics
Cons: -Expo instability -No Windows 10 support for Wifi drivers -Buggy BIOS and issues with shuddering in windows -M.2 NVME drives dropping
Overall Review: This board may be fine for someone inexperienced but the issues with EXPO, M.2 NVME Drives dropping, and general buggy behavior make it so that I cannot recommend. This board should not have made it to production with such a litany of issues. Days wasted with different troubleshooting techniques, hardware configurations, BIOS versions, settings, and nothing resolves. Disappointed. Asus's support forum is filled with problems with the X870E chipset boards and little to no resolves for the issues being experienced.
Perfect.

Pros: Low heat, Loads apps with a quickness, Great on W7 x64 Enterprise, No issues as of yet.
Cons: Price and size, but that's the majority of all SSD's for the time being
Overall Review: Snappy on a P6X58D Premium, I7 980x, and 12gb ram
Not bad OCZ

Pros: Works great, no bad sticks, no compatibility issues with my motherboard. 12GB for a very reasonable price!
Cons: Nothing i can think of as of yet, give it a few more weeks and we shall see how it holds up.
Overall Review: I've had OCZ memory in the past and have never been disappointed. Great support. Matched with a P6X58D Premium and runs like a TOP.
Excellent board

Pros: Great amount features, stable, really like the layout of this board. USB3 and SATA6 you can't go wrong. Ascetically pleasing to the eye.
Cons: Had to manually set the ram timings on Tri channel memory to get all of it to show up. Didn't bother contacting ASUS, experience in dealing with them in the past i find their support lacking.
Overall Review: Wanted a good board with a lot of features. Express gate is pretty cool but don't know if i will ever use it that much. I see alot of reviews on bad DIMM slots, at first I thought I might have had that issue but after manually setting the timings for my tri channel 12gig kit it was able to fully recognize all 3 sticks. Before bios flash every reboot the memory would randomly show different values (4gb, 8gb but not 12gb). Everything is nice and snappy matched up with a 980x and SSD.
Awesome

Pros: Hands down one of the best routers i have ever used.
Cons: None
