(More customer reviews)This socket 1156 motherboard is the best value full featured board you can buy if you got a Core i7 860. I installed Core i7 860 along with 8GB of Corsair XMS3 RAM and had no problem booting up and installing windows7 64bit. I installed the latest bios 806 by downloading the latest Asus updater utility from Asus website very simple to use from windows no DOS B.S. I set the "CPU level up" in the Bios to the highest setting and kept my ram running very close to its rated 1600mhz and everything else to auto also enabled the "Intel Speed Step" and Turbo mode and CPU/RAM voltage was still kept stock automatically by the BIOS. Booted to Windows7 then went to ASUS website and downloaded ASUS EPU utility and ran the calibration. Now when I am just browsing web and doing normal stuff my CPU runs at 1.4Ghz when I encode videos all four cores run at 3.63Ghz!. It has all the connections one could ask for USB 2.0, USB 3.0, SATA 3Gb/s, SATA 6Gb/s I think it has more than 8 SATA ports an IDE port and if you happen to own one of those unsupported RAM then just hit and hold the MEM OK button on the board and it'll boot to the BIOS for you to manually set the RAM a very useful feature which I didn't need since my Corsair RAM was compatible even with older BIOS. I am powering this board with a OCZ Mod-X 700Watts power supply, Corsair H50 Hydro CPU Liquid Cooler and Zotac 240GT 512MB DDR5 video card.
