Pros: So far, this has been the most exceptional mainboard i have ever purchased, i have purchased many many high end/ mid end boards before for many systems, some include asus, gigabyte, abit, soyo, msi, chaintech etc. recently, i had a gigabyte agp 939 board go dead and decided to upgrade to sli, the difference just for non-graphics based apps is incredible! I had the gigabyte cpu and bus slightly overclocked and have found this board to be noticably faster without overclocking! Even with the same processor being used, and same ocz memory, same drives and all. I recommend evga boards to anyone who has purchased the high end/ high cost boards and are tired of not getting your money's worth!
Cons: no firewire, which i can do without anyways, also, i feel the temperature sensors fluctuate incostistantly and do not provide accuracy, although, i have no proof except i used the same cpu and cooler and thermal paste in another mainboard which gave lower settings, i tried reinstalling and cleaning the paste to see if i got improper adhesion but it still shows to be incostistant results
Overall Review: Excluding petty cons, this board has been great, just have to see if it passes the test of time (knock on wood)
