Nice review Sioux....mobo very strong......
you can do jumper modding near fan 4 pin. Vcore will be up to 2.3V at bios option.
MickeyMouse did the mod:

DDR3 Mobos......P5E64 WS EVO > P5E3 Wifi AP > Blitz Extreme > Maximus Extreme > X48T-DQ6 > Bonetrail > Blackops > X48-T3R > Any 790i/780 :)
I believe the blackops is in the same league as this board;)Quote:

Can't see how anyone can pick this board as a foundation on which to build a rig that will last you 3+ years... many guys here can either afford to change mobos like underwear or don't pay a cent to play around with hardware. ANd some guy even said the BIOS "may be a little different from what you might be used to" which is a clearly a red flag to me :)Quote:

What about NB temps? Is it O.K. with the stock heatsink ensemble?
I miss the NB & SB temps in BIOS............:(
:welcome:
:D UPDATE: Just purchased one......... - will get it next week.....:woot:
:up:
you rate the blitz better than the maximus?Quote:

the bonetrail board???? its terrible! :D
and while i really dont like 790, i dont think they are the worst boards for ddr3
SIOUX, do you have a SAS hdd? :D
whats the max fsb you managed to get stable with your 8500?
i'm vaguely interested in this mobo - where can u buy them from?
:rolleyes: In Europe...........;)Quote:

I am 24/7 stable at 560 1.6v. could proberly run 570 1.7v, but i wont do that for 24/7 with normal nb cooling :)
Thats what i love with this board. when its stable, its just stable. no fine tuning for 24/7 use. for an example.......if 572 is very unstable, then 570 can very easy be 100& stable. it have a sweetspot, and when you find it..its steady as a rock :)
yeah, thats why i prefer intel chipsets over nvidia chipset as well :)
570 is really nice... i havent seen a 790 retail board reach a higher 24/7 fsb oc so far
1.You should see what eva2000 can do with his p35 based Asus boards.Quote:

whats taking so long @ available?
