Amazing board with lots of cables and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module.
This is an amazing product at the current going price and is a well built feature packed board that offers something for everyone. 2 way Crossfire and SLI capable, it includes a Bluetooth and Wi Fi combo module, 4 SATA 6GB cables and 2 SATA 3GB cables. The first thing I noticed was how heavy the board is compared to others I have owned and I will say it is amazingly well built and a top tier product for anyone but the most extreme user.
I was able to easily get my i7 2600 to 4.2 Ghz with no voltage changes on the turbo core which you can increase on non K chips if you want to be able to overclock base frequency you must have a K series chip.
IMPORTANT :
If you plan on using this board with Ivy Bridge 3rd generation core processors make sure you have a Sandy Bridge 2nd generation processor to install first in order to update the BIOS to enable Ivy Bridge support.

Amazing sound, low ping and overclocking abillities for the money.
This is an amazing product at any price. The Intel Gb LAN is amazingly fast and bests the solutions in my two high end systems when it comes to low ping and less lag while gaming.
I easily overclocked my GSkill RAM to the 1600 Mhz it is supposed to run at and the Intel Core i3 530 I am using has easily been overclocked to almost 3.8 Ghz on the stock cooler. I have no doubt that this board with a high end cooling solution could easily take my Core i3 to 4.5 + Ghz effortlessly and it is not even an unlocked CPU.
Final thoughts in 20 Yrs of building PC's for myself and others this is not the best one I have built by any means however it is my favorite to date as the performance I have been able to get out of this relatively meager platform is astounding while remaining ROCK SOLID.
Did I mention the onboard audio is among the best I have ever used for an onboard solution as well
What are you waiting for if you are thinking about it BUY IT!

Great value it's a lower clocked 390x with 4GB of RAM for much less money!
3 of 4 found this helpful I am gaming at 4K (Just make sure your display has a Display Port if you want 60Hz) and doing it in lower to high settings depending on the title and using less than 3GB of RAM. The card runs around 70C while gaming in a well ventilated case NZXTZ Phantom. It also overclocks well and can easily be taken to near 1100 Mhz while also overclocking the RAM.
