Pros: best board on the market for these lga 1555 sandy bridges. I have the 16gb kit of corsair vengance and a i7 sandybridge overclocked to 4.7 in 10 minutes with a click of a button INSIDE windows7. asus put a lot of effort into their new bios and it shows. I don't use the ez mode but having a mouse in a standard bios setup helps a ton! runs cool sata 6gb/s is awesome and usb 3.0 is sweet too. says its capable of new pci-e 3.0 to future proof it a tad, but we have yet to see.

Cons: wish more asus led's lit up :P

Pros: Amazing ram. Best corsair i have used. Even with these high timings due to the 4gb/stick kit i oc'd to 4.74ghz on an i7 sandy bridge with ease. Best ram I have ever used! matches a asus p8z68 beautifully!

Cons: Non

Overall Review: others mentioned high heatsink fins, but i put them next to my corsair dominator xmms2 ddr2 sticks i had from another build and they are only slightly taller. not bad.
