Pros: Is well built, has a nice look to it, many overclocking features and it comes with a nice suite of tools, software, and utilities. Boots so fast I cant even get into BIOS I have to do it through the software suite and it has the awesome options of going straight into BIOS after your next restart which I think is a great option. Was able to set my ram to its native speed of 1600MHz Has an "OC Genie" button on the board that will automatically OC for you. Also features a multi bios switch that works great to help you get back on track with your settings just in case the OC settings you chose are not stable enough to boot into your OS.

Cons: I cant overclock my CPU to save my life, I am not a skilled over clocker and I am new to it but my last board was a Gigabyte Z77 UD4H mobo and I had zero problems overclocking my i7 3770k to 4.6GHz on air with no over heating issues and it was completely stable but with this board I have tried many different variations of CPU ratio and base clock and of course I know enough to know that you should try to make small upward increments in voltage if you cant find stability with the OC settings you have tried. Though I do like how you can flip a switch and go into different BIOS in case you get into a jam and can not boot correctly. *** I don't want to take away any eggs because the reason I cant overclock could very well be because of my lack of experience. Therefore I must give it 5 eggs though it would have been great if I could have given it 4.5 eggs. Not too many Sata 6GB/s options for Raid

Overall Review: MSI please let me know what I need to do to overclock my i7 3930k I was able to OC no problem on my last Gigabyte board with an i7 3770k but I cant overclock to save my life on this board. There could be one factor that is not making this possible and it could be that I have a 600 watt Rosewill PSU and I am running an i7 3930k which requires 130 watts and I also have a single GTX 780 which requires either 230 or 260 watts of power but I don't know I do plan on upgrading to a Rosewill Lightning 1300 watt PSU cause I will eventually be running 3 GTX 780's in SLI and I will absolutely need the extra juice at that time. MSI if you are listening please let me know what I need to do overclock my 3930k to at least 4.2 if not 4.6GHz like I was able to with my 3770k. ALSO I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING TO THE REVIEWER "ANTIGEN" who gave this board such a bad rating because it didn't have an IDE option!!!! Seriously dude? You buy an Enthusiast Class X79 board and you need an IDE option??? How on earth did Newegg make you an Eggxpert and you don't know how to research a board enough to know before hand that an IDE option was not there? Before I buy a board I pour through the reviews over and over and I read through all the details and review til my eyes get blurred just so I know that my HT Omega eClaro will fit in along with my plans for an SLI setup so I can make all of my options and plans a reality. So come on man please don't give a product a bad rating cause you didn't do your research before hand to know what options this board has. And seriously man you can buy a top rated 24x DVD Burner by ASUS for 18 dollars no taxes with free shipping and then you dis the LGA 2011 socket because you lock yourself into an expensive class of CPU's well duh that is to be absolutely expected with the LGA 2011 socket, its the "Enthusiast" class of sockets and you should be expecting to spend a good chunk of change on the LGA 2011 category of things. On top of all that you are using an Engineering Sample of Xeon series CPU? How on earth did you get your hands on that? Please forgive me for the criticism I just hate seeing bad reviews because the shipping wasn't good or because there was no IDE support or because the LGA 2011 socket locks you into high priced CPU's all of those gripes need to go into the other thoughts category and you should not take away from the rating of the actual product because that is not fair. If your going into the LGA 2011 Enthusiast class you should be ready to spend some money and to upgrade to SATA connectivity for everything. So please in the future do not take away eggs for stuff you should have researched and known before ordering.

Pros: Quality Made Has 2 Adjustable - Antenna USB Cord acts as an extension cord Has a good solid feel to it WiFi Software is included that is a cool feature

Cons: Absolutely None

Overall Review: As soon as I took it out of the package I could feel that it had a nice weight to it and that it was made well. I went from a Netgear A6200 USB WiFi Adapter to this and the signal quality and strength doubled and I am showing 5 bars. I am thoroughly impressed with this device. And what is even cooler is that I have 2 outdoor antennas with a wifi cable that I can attach in place of one of the antenna to go outside and get a greater range of signal. I must say Rosewill is a good brand and honestly it may seem generic but to me Rosewill makes some really good products. This is my 3rd so far and I don't have any complaints.

Pros: Has beautifully detailed graphics Is a well thought out game with a well thought out environment Has a really beautiful ambiance to the game The game is immersive and hooks you in for a nice ride

Cons: To truly enjoy this game you need an Intel Core i7 3930k or above CPU with at least a GTX 780 to truly enjoy the graphics that this game has to offer.

Overall Review: I've got what some would consider a high end gaming PC and I am only getting 30 frames per second with setting maxed out. Ive got an Intel Core i7 3930k stock with an Nvidia GTX 780 by Gigabyte and I have this game maxed out on settings and I can tell that this game is challenging my system. Im only getting 25 to 30 frames per second. Though I will say that this game has some awesome graphics and is extremely immersive. I will post an update once I have purchased another GTX 780 to go into SLI and I truly hope for a better frame rate cause this game makes me sad cause I have invested my hard earned money into some high end parts hoping to be on top of things and this game challenges my system very much.

Pros: Leaves a small footprint in my case Sounds are very crisp and clear now Small yet Powerful Feels solid and well made, definitely does not appear to be cheap The software allows me to adjust the volume of each speaker independently. Has a single D-Sub connector which then splits off to multiple I/O which is a nice touch.

Cons: None I am not an audiophile I don't have a lot of music industry experience so to speak so I can't identify any cons though I do have two good working ears and I can honestly say that the sound coming from this card is clear and is powerful. Like the other reviewers have stated the software seems like it was from the 80's or 90's but honestly I would much rather have rock solid, consistent software than new buggy software that always requires updates so in that sense this card and its manufacturers are great and the software is very functional which is all that matters to me.

Overall Review: I've had the Creative X-Fi circa 2006 and then I got the HT Omega Stryker 7.1 and the creative had some good sound it was good for gaming but the software was a bit buggy at times and it was almost to crisp sometimes. The HT Omega Stryker I had owned had great mid range sound and it was good but not for gaming but this card sounds really crisp and clear and feels powerful. I love how I plug in a D-Sub I/O and then I plug in all of my side rear and subs into the cables that then come out of the D-Sub connector. Overall I happy with this sound card I had an Asus Xonar DX 7.1 and that was great but it didn't have that rich, powerful, crystal clear quality to it that this card has and I am so glad I gave it a chance. I wish I had a PCI slot so I could add the HT Omega Claro Halo card so I could have a dedicated headphone card but this card should do the trick as far as the headphone department is concerned. Again thanks to Newegg for all of the products you guys carry I swear most of my paychecks go to you guys cause I will never be content with good enough, I must upgrade and get a bigger and badder system!!!!!!!! My Current Baby!!! - Intel Core i7 3930k @ 3.2GHz - 32GB of G. Skill DDR3 Ram running @ 1600MHz - Gigabyte GTX 780 with 3GB's of GDDR5 Ram - HT Omega eClaro Audio Card - Logitech G500 Laser Gaming Mouse - Microsoft 4000 Ergonomic Keyboard (w/ the front handrest tilted all the way up for extra comfort) - Rosewill USB 3.0 Multi-Card Reader Front Panel - Dual G. Skill Phoenix III Solid State Disks running together in a Raid 0 Configuration - Asus 24x DVD Burner - MSI X79A-GD45 Motherboard with the LGA 2011 Socket - AOC e2752Vh 27" LED Monitor w/ 2ms Response time and Full High Definition @ 1920x1080 - Rosewill 600 watt Gold Rated Power Supply - All wrapped inside a Corsair Graphite Series 600T "Steel Silver" Computer Case

Pros: -Is basically a Titan with about 90% of the performance!!! -Has the cool green LED of the GEFORCE GTX on the side of the card so it adds to the ambience of my case -I am seeing approximately 20% to 30% performance increase over my Dual GTX 660 SLI setup. -I must admit this card is extremely silent especially coming from my last setup where you could hear the fans go up and down all the time this is an extremely quiet card. -Is built extremely well and feels solid and has a nice weight to it.

Cons: It does require a bit more juice compared to previous cards other than that there are none that I can think of this is an awesome card and some would say that the price is a con but when you see the performance to price ratio this card is a decent investment thus making the 649 dollar price tag justifiable.

Overall Review: I am not going to take away any eggs for this but I came from a Dual GTX 660 SLI setup and I am only seeing about 20 more frames per second on BF3 and Black Ops II and I even upgraded my CPU from a 3770k overclocked to 4.6GHz to a 3930k and I am only seeing 20 more frames per second? Honestly I was hoping for better but honestly I wanted this card just to say I have it and I really really wanted the GK110 Architecture GPU cause I am amazed at how they packed 7.1 billion friggin transistors on a 28nm CPU. This card in and of itself compared to a single GTX 660 is double the performance and it is quite impressive. I plan on getting a second and third GTX 780 and I will write another review to let you all know how many more frames per second I get with the 2nd and 3rd GTX 780. Nvidia please please make a GTX 790 with two GK110's on it please please!!!!!!!!!

Pros: Hexacore CPU Has the best performance/price ratio as far as I am concerned Is fast and is a rock solid performer Is one of the fastest CPU's on the market!!!!!!

Cons: None that I can think of for what it is and how it is advertised and priced there are really no cons to mention

Overall Review: I bought this just to say I have it!!!! I went from an i7 3770k and I haven't run any benchmarks though I have played BF3 and Black Ops II and I am noticing about 20 more FPS with this CPU though there is one other thing I went from Dual GTX 660's in SLI to a single GTX 780 along with this CPU and I only got 20 more frames per second? I was hoping for much better performance but oh well once I upgrade the PSU to the Rosewill Lightning 1300 watt and I get a second GTX 780 then I will see where the performance increases are at. Until then I am going to say that I am happy with this purchase regardless. I love Intel CPU's and I simply cannot wait until they come out with the next generation "Enthusiast" line of CPU's for my to gobble up into a new system. COME ON INTEL ITS BEEN A MINUTE SINCE YOU RELEASED THIS PLEASE RELEASE THE NEXT ENTHUSIAST LINE OF CPU'S AND PLEASE PLEASE ADD MORE USB 3.0 AND MUCH MUCH MORE SATA 6GB/S CONNECTIVITY LIKE YOU DID WITH HASWELL!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Intel!!!!!!!! And Thank You NEWEGG for all the Awesome Products!!!!!!!!!
