Pros: Very well laid out board. The sata connectors aren't covered by the GPU(s). The CPU power plug lies closer to the PSU so it's not as far a reach as some other boards. 6 dimm triple channel slots, 8 i/o sata connectors, 2 yr warranty, well built/sturdy i/o panel, 2 way & 3 way SLI bridge, OC for dummies setting, gig Ethernet, cmos clear switch. I love ths board. Quality is much better than an MSI i7 SLI mobo I purchased and returned.

Cons: No really a con, but no mobo standoffs if your case doesn't come with them. Some manufacturers do, some don't. The 6 dimm slots are a little close together.

Overall Review: Great customer support from EVGA, replaced 2 missing sata cables w/ out blinking an eye and also registered my board for me- have serial # ready. 2 YEAR WARRATY. CS was very friendly and helpful, SPOKE ENGLISH!! The OC for dummies setting, OC's your system and adjusts all the necessary system settings for you. OC'd my Intel 920 from 2.67 to over 3.0 and was stable with no high temps. Sweet board. i7 920, 6Gig GGsill, Radeon 4870, stock cooler, 700 watt PSU SLI- modular, CM690 case, 4 -120 fans.

Pros: Great board all around but the one thing that sets this board apart from those made by other manufacturers is the customer service. I recently purchased all the parts to build a new system from scratch. Included is this MB and the 295 vid card. Before buying it I asked around for advice on a good configuration of parts then I called EVGA and asked them a few questions. Their recommendations not only work better than what I was about to buy but saved me almost $300. Reminds me of Miracle on 34th street where Santa put the shopper ahead of the company and subsequently the comapny prospered. When I got the parts there was a cable problem with the power supply hooking to the motherboard. I called EVGA on a Saturday afternoon and the guy I spoke with sorted it out, I had to split a cable, it worked great and I'm up and running. I've never seen customer service like EVGA gives. They'll always have my business

Cons: not a one

Pros: * Nice BIOS - very tweakable * Pretty good physical layout, with only a few minor gripes (see cons) * Looks nice - pleasant physical design * I moderately overclocked a 920 to 3.2 with absolutely no trouble on this board. It's running Linux under moderate to heavy load about 8 hrs/day rock solid. It might have been possible to push it further, but I wanted to err on the safe side. * I took a chance on this mobo before it had many reviews due to EVGA's reputation for good support, and I'm pleased so far.

Cons: Only fairly minor cons in the global scheme of things: * I wasn't a big fan of the edge mounted SATA connectors. I'd have preferred vertical ones, but I suppose it's a matter of taste. I had a slight problem plugging in SATA cables due to a conflict with other things in my case, where a normal straight up mount wouldn't have been an issue at all. * For some reason, turbo mode will not stay on in the bios. I can set it, get out and right back into that menu, and it's off again. There might be a valid reason for that, but the manual didn't provide one that I could find.

Overall Review: Some things to be aware of - I'm not listing these as cons, but you should know them when considering this mobo: * There's only a PS/2 keyboard connector, but not mouse. It depends on having a USB mouse. * As others have mentioned, no legacy connectors. (Serial, parallel, IDE, floppy, etc). When I first installed the system, I had a brief scare with the mobo not recognizing memory in the second slot. However, after I reseated the CPU, this went away. The mem controller is on the CPU on a I7. Just be aware, if you have this issue, you might solve it with a reseat, and the mobo could be just fine. With the massive # of connections on an I7, I suspect this is not a rare thing.

Pros: This was the first time I used an EVGA motherboard, and I was very impressed by its performance and presentation. 1. Motherboard looks sleek with nice heatsinks 2. The instructions that come with the mobo are very adequate, have nice drawings, and explain things thoroughly. 3. Booted up right away and OC utility was easy to use 4. The I/O shield is padded

Cons: I'm using Windows 7, so some of the drivers on the CD weren't compatible. Just go to EVGA's website and download the compatible ones

Overall Review: My Build: Windows 7 Professional x64 RTM i7 920 3.0ghz OC - Idle: 40C Load: 60C EVGA ATX x58 SLI LE Mobo Corsair CMPSU-850TX 850 Watt PSU Corsair XMS3 (3 x 2 GB) DD3 RAM EVGA GTX 275 Superclocked 1792mb edition Scythe MUGEN-2 CPU Cooler WD VelociRaptor 300GB HDD Cooler Master HAF 932 ATX Full Tower Case

Pros: Fantastic board. On-board CMOS reset and power/reset switches make troubleshooting your system a breeze. No problems with booting up the first time. Temperature displays correctly with the on-board temp. gauge.

Cons: Not cheap, BIOS moves slow. (I probably should update the BIOS, so it's not a real con.)

Overall Review: If you're looking for a simple gaming rig, this is for you. -Intel Core i7 920 -EVGA 151-BL-E757-TR X58 motherboard -EVGA 01G-P3-1158-TR 1GB video card -Antec P193 chassis -Antec CP-1000 1000W power supply -Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit -WD 160GB Caviar Blue -G.Skill 1600 F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ 6GB memory

Pros: Great Board for price, versatile (AHCI, DDR3...), comes with pretty good tuning utility to monitor and for overclocking.

Cons: Not really a con to affect ratings, but seems slow to boot up and does not support Ms Bit Locker that I was planning on trying with Win7 ultimate.

Overall Review: Recommend highly.

Pros: I have a 920 OC'd to 4.0GHz at 1.3 core and running stable. I am running 3 GTX 260s in Tri SLI and have great performance with the upgrade from a Core 2 Duo e8200 OC'd from 2.66 to 3.8. There is a review online that has a guy OC'ing a 920 to 4.5GHz with 1.3 core.

Cons: If you're going to run Tri SLI you're going to want to run the third card on the very last slot and most Tri SLI capable cards are dual slot cooling solutions. Make sure that your case has that extra slot for the last card's second slot or else you'll be forced to run the third card at x4 PCIe rather the x8 offered by the last slot.

Overall Review: This is my first i7 motherboard and I installed the 3 memory dimms in the wrong slots and the PC wouldn't even post, I was worried for about ten minutes before I examined the huge sticker that is on the dimm slots. I am running water cooling on my 260s so the last slot was not a big deal since the water blocks make the cards essentially a single slot cooler. I switched out the dual slot retainer bracket that holds the card to the case with the retainer from a fried 9800gt.

Pros: Works great, and even looks nice. Fast start ups for me, using i7 930, 6Gb Corsair triple channel

Cons: Not really a con but more of a peeve, the keyboard (and I would assume everything else) plugged into the board stays powered even when the computer is shut down. I know this can be a feature used to charge devices and such but its not really what I'd need. I've tried looking online and seeing if there's a BIOS setting to stop this but no luck so far.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this board
