(More customer reviews)Well I was looking for a good X58 motherboard for my Core i7 950 cpu and decided to go with this one. It's got a great layout, especially the Sata ports, usb 3.0, Sata 6gb, 6 RAM slots, Dual Lan. Error codes and LEDs also help a great deal. It's very easy to update the BIOS with @Bios utility. This motherboard utilizes a 24-pin and 8-pin power supply. So be sure your PSU has the right connectors. No onboard video, so you'll need a video card. Be sure to put your RAM, and sata cables in before you do anything else. Never know what might be blocked, but all in all this layout is great and I didn't really have those problems. This motherboard also has an onboard Power and Reset switch for open case testing of components. I love that feature! I actually had to use the buttons when I had issues with my heatsink being loose and my RAM in the wrong slots. lol. If your PC shuts down shortly after booting and you get an error message saying "Recovering lost DRAM something or other, try switching the ram to different slots. And if you're going to use the stock heatsink that comes with the core i7, be sure its on tight and correctly! I could have gone with a cheaper board, but I'm glad I settled for this one. It's feature rich and I am very satisfied with it. Also, the XMP profile to auto set RAM to the correct timings and speed worked fine for me!
