I'm thinking I might be calling EVGA soon... unless someone else can recommend a good X58 1366 board... I don't want to switch teams because I have always had very ood results with asus products but this thing is aweful.
I could have sworn I saw some bench tests of the SATA3 controller used on the asus boards. The intel chipset SATA2 controller is faster. I'd just use that and not bother with it (assuming you have no problems with sata2 controller).
