Pros: Great looking card, solid and built well. 2x in SLI gives me a solid 60fps in Skyrim on Ultra at 5760x1080 (AA and AF off). AA and AF at 8x, medium graphics settings gives 60fps also. AA and AF off, medium graphics gives 100-120fps in Skyrim at 5760x1080.. playing at 120hz is a whole new experience.

Cons: Fans can get loud. Running Skyrim with 8xAA and 8xAF on medium I have had a few crashes where all video out stops but computer seems to be running as I can hear sounds and register key presses. Probably overheats the cards since they are really working at 8xAA and 8xAF in 5760x1080.

Overall Review: Save your money. Get the GTX 670. It overclocks higher and is able to beat the 680 in benchmarks for less money plus it's in stock!

Pros: Very well packaged in an attractive box. Plenty of cables, screws and accessories. Really like the switches and LEDs on the board. Will never miss the parallel and serial ports. Fired up first try.

Cons: When I took the board out of the static bag I immediately noticed that it was sticky with residue left from manufacture. I noticed the cheaper electrolytic caps (some were bent over even) on the board except for the power caps. SMT resistors were not lined up straight, neither were the chokes (old, cheap looking chokes too). Some of the solder spots were gray instead of bright indicating poor soldering. Overall the board had a cheap feel unlike most motherboards I've used in the past. It screamed "made in china" as it looked just like a lot of the low quality stuff I've seen coming out of that country.

Overall Review: Immediately after taking it out of the static bag I wanted to return it and wished I had. I've been trying for most of the day to get Vista 64 installed without success. Removed one RAM stick, removed all but one drive, upgraded the BIOS to P03, cleared the BIOS and still I'm getting blue screens on install. Installed XP without any issues so I know the hardware works. Overall I am not happy with this board and wish I could return it.

Pros: Just an update after about 2 years with this board. After I got all the little issues ironed out this board has been rock solid. Gaming, photoshop, surfing.. what ever I'm doing it just does it. Never a blue screen or hiccup. Just flashed the BIOS last week for the first time in over a year and it went flawless. Like the new BIOS a lot. Easy to navigate. Resumes from sleep in less than one second. Easy to OC. Setup RAM in XMP and it just works. My first ASUS board and I'm happy with it and ASUS parts.

Cons: No cons to talk about. Works perfectly at this time.

Overall Review: i7 3630K OC to 4.2ghz 32G RAM (G Skill 2133) 2x GTX680 2x Intell 520 SSD 1x WD Black 2TB watercooled using fan header to control PWM pump. Works great.

Pros: My second ASUS board. Impressed with both. (P9X79Asus WS is first) Installed easily into the case, all components installed easy. Booted up first try without issues. Already familiar with ASUS UEFI bios so it was a breeze to setup Raid 0 on two 250 GB SSD. Many features that I like on this board. All case and CPU fan headers are PWM capable. Voltage test points, buttons onboard for Start, Reset and CLR COMOS. LED BIOS status indicator. Onboard HDD LED and much more. Seems to be up to ASUS quality standards. Flashed the BIOS on second day. Couldn't be easier. Very happy with this board. Black case, black board with red accents, black Corsair fans with red accents makes a very nice look

Cons: Sticky No-Rinse flux residue on back of board. SATA ports are backwards. Typically they go from right to left, 0 to 5. This board goes left to right. 5 - 0 in Intel sockets then two ASMedia sockets. Separate Sound card is a pain and sets very close to 1st PCI slot. Had everything running great and already updating my Windows when the board quit and would not reboot. Went into a reboot cycle, rebooting before it would get to BIOS logo. Cleared CMOS twice, removed all cards and memory. Finally it stopped doing it for some reason. (wasn't tied to anything I did as far as I can tell) Installed all drives, cards and memory. Booted as normal. Nitpicking but the back panel is not the best. Too thick and too glossy. Hard to read even with a flashlight.

Overall Review: Build: Caselabs Mercury S3 i7 4770K 2x Nvidia GTX780Ti 32gb HyperX 2x 250 Samsung SSD in Raid0 1x WD Red 2gb data drive Air cooled for now, going watercooled soon. Waiting on GTX780ti backplates to come back in stock.

Pros: For ninety bucks you can't go wrong. It's heavy.. made of steel. Drive bays are a little flimsy but they got the job done. Power supply was not going to work. 6 pin CPU plug wasn't enough for the MBD-X9SCL-F MoBo. Needs 8 pin so I dug in my stash and found a new 500 watt that worked perfect.

Cons: Power supply. Screws were a little on the cheap side. Replaced with good ones from my stash.

Overall Review: I think it's a great value. Fits the SuperMicro MoBo very well. 4 slide out drive bays. Went together very quick and painless. Small size. Have it on it's side in my entertainment rack. looks like any other piece of equipment. Fan is very quiet but moves lot of air.

Pros: Easy to install. Worked flawless out of the box. 6 SATA cables included. Intel NIC's work perfect without drivers in most OS. IPMI is the bee's knees. Booted first time without monitor or keyboard. Just plugged in the network and used the utility to set bios and booted to the USB with FreeNAS loaded. Simple I've used SuperMicro since the 90's and never had problems with them when using quality components.

Cons: Not sure if this is a real con but the CPU power plug is 8 pin.The power supply in the supermicro case that fits it so well is 6 pin. Other than that I can't find any yet.

Overall Review: Making a NAS with this board, CSE 731i case, 3ea. 1TB drives was about as simple as it gets. Worked flawless from first boot.
