Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like the color scheme. More importantly, I gave it a C7 i930 cpu, dropped it into my Lian Li PC70B case, attached a Hyper 212 cpu cooling tower (pictures and details at cosmic-pearl.com), added 6GB Mushkin DDR3 RAM, and have one flawlessly operating computer on hand, be it games, photo editing, or computer graphics, it gives me what I need and then some. I am using the onboard audio with the Logitech Z2300 speakers and realtek driver, and that is perfectly fine for my ears. ASUS provided the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility on the enclosed disk, but I have yet to enable the OC feature in BIOS. For now I am happy as a clam. I am even running the RAM at default speed. I ran 3D Benchmark and got 7.5, 7.5, 7.2 results, and until I need more capability, I am quite fine for now. UPDATE! I am still happy with the mobo over all, but meanwhile my audio output curcuitry went dead. Spent literally hours on the phone with ASUS to get an RMA set up. In the end I decided to take a chance and get an ASUS Xonar DG card, rather than to deal with their time-consuming cumbersome RMS process. It fixed the problem perfectly and the sound is even better now. My expense, I know, but I just was not willing to tear my computer apart, send them the mobo, and then wait for however long to get a replacement X58 from ASUS. While the ASUS people were friendly enough, I suggest that there has got to be a better way.
