Well..had the EVGA and imo it's a complete POS.

Had the Foxconn Blackops X48 but that was doa, but in hindsight X48 not the way to go with the next gen nvidia offerings.

Stick with the Striker II, luckily mine wasn't doa and i've been more than happy with what it's doing for such an early revision of a BIOS.

Things can only get better with this board i think
