Strengths: Top of the line - easy overclocking, plenty of features, handles the fastest processors, the latest and greatest.
Weakness: It ONLY supports DDR3 ram
Great board. I was looking for a "future proof" motherboard that will last year. This is the one! I found it from a website that review motherboards and this one was ranked #1. Great board - I'll do anything you want!
Strengths: SPEED.
Weakness: Read below...
I read a lot before my recent build and actually used EVGA Stepup to get here. But my main reason was SLI. I planned on gaming and read the merits of SLI. this board support triple. While I may never fully utilize that, its nice to know I can! Its also nice knowing that future compatibility is near with FSB speeds and 45nm product support. This board will recognize the E8400 Wolfdale and of...
Strengths: Very fast, plenty of options
Weakness: Random crashes on games, all sorts of problems with users on the forums for EVGA, tech support lacking from EVGA....hmm what else.
This board has been said to have many many problems. Lots of instability and general shoddy production values from what I have seen. Good luck if you buy it.

Don't Buy If Ever Want to Populate all Dimm Sockets...
Strengths: For EVGA's sake I hope their updated revisions of this motherboard now on sale don't have this problem.
Weakness: I only bought it since memory performance matters greatly to me. It's advertised as capable of running dimms at not only 1600mhz but 2000mhz. Disappointment.
I’m a 3 yr tech support mgr & tried everything one can try to get these to run at advertised specs. The mobo won’t POST when running the dimms at advertised specs & all 4 dimm sockets are populated. I have 2 identical PCs. Same w/ both despite dimm swapping. I called EVGA & immediately they directed me to Corsair’s FAQ page stating the following:“Question: I have 2 Corsair dimms that work...
