Pros: Worked great. I liked having two Ethernet wires working together.

Cons: For about 3 months! First my graphics card stopped working, A new 260 GTX So I put my old 8800 GTS in it & that kept it running for another 2 of the 3 months that it worked. But My 260 GTX card is Good it's the motherboard wouldn't tell my TV to come on though the HDMI wire. I up dated the bios to the newest bios release. Then not long after that but not because of the bios update I noticed my dual LAN was only running off One Then it quit all together Saying bad wire or wire not connected. Then it said the express gate stopped working & started taking around 15 minutes to boot. Now the picture constantly roles.

Other Thoughts: I had the core i5 quad core bumped up to 3.05 GHz Water cooled. Ripjaws Series Dual Channel DDR3 1600 7-8-7-24-2N @ 1.6 V. 260 GTX With windows 7 64 Bit. Maybe I'll flash the bios with something a little older & see what happens.
For now I've put my 260 GTX card in my old computer With my old lan wires Actually they're new & everything works just fine. Like I said this motherboard only lasted 3 months

Pros: Stable, good for overclocking (though it's hard with an un-airconditioned house right now). NEVER had a crash whether I'm set to stock or OC'ed. I have seen this board overclock to 4.0 ghz stably (w/ i5-750). Audio is better than my old ECS as well but...

Cons: ... my mic port died. Im sure it was an isolated incident (could have something to do with the 14 speakers chained into the onboard sound). USB3.0/Sata6 would have been nice. With that said...

Other Thoughts: ...at this point, if you are building a system that you plan on using and upgrading over the next 4-5 years then perhaps a different board would be a better fit. With the new Intel chipset coming out in less than 6 months the 1156 mobos will start to fade away. If you ware planning on a your build lasting 2-3 years this board will do a very good job.

Pros: This build went together easy as pie. I chose the Core I5 and G.Skill 2x2gb ram with my old 650 watt psu and 8800GT. The ram slots are slightly tight but I reckon that is a good thing. Just make sure you get the sticks seated properly.

Cons: I cut myself on the i/o shield thingy in the back dang.

Other Thoughts: This was an effortless build and my rig screams! I was on a budget and this satisfied my needs...
Played BFBC2 with everything on high for like 2 hours and not a core went over 43 degrees C.

I like it!

Pros: Easy installation. Easy Setup. Lots of Features. Clip Locks on included SATA Cables. Foam Cushioned Backplate! Two Realtek Gigabit Lan Ports (Teaming capable) Great Layout for PCIe slots (x16 x1 x1 x8 PCI x8 PCI) Remote Controlled BIOS for case closed BIOS Profile administration. Single Ear Memory DIMM sockets so that you dont need to push down two ears to remove or "double click" to seat the RAM modules properly. when the ear snaps up you KNOW its seated.

Cons: No FDD port. ( I know I know its a dead medium but Im an old guy and I hate building a pc without a FDD) but with the advent of booting from thumb drives I suppose its time to finally retire the FDD's for good)

Other Thoughts: Core i7-875K @2.93GHZ (for now till burn in is complete)
Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2 HS/Fan
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156
8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill Ripjaw Series 1600 RAM

Pros: When functioning correctly this is a very good board. It has 3 PCI-e slots which I need. One for the ASUS Nvidia ENGTX465 and two for Adaptec SAS disk controllers. It overclocks easy to 3.36Ghz when water cooled and runs very stable.

Cons: The memory slots don't always work. I have purchased more than one of these boards and 2 came in and worked with the G.Skill DDR3-2200 (PC3-17600) memory perfectly. One board will only see 4GB or two slots out of 4 for 8GB. I sent it back to Asus support. They didnt fix it or anything just sent it back to me. Still with two bad slots saying nothings wrong with the board. It wont see 8GBs with 4 chips only 4GB with 2 chips. This is my third build with this board and ASUS claims its not the board. I have two other computers running perfectly with the exact same memory and hardware but this one wont work. I hope you dont get a board with bad chip slots because Asus support will not fix or replace it.

Other Thoughts: Asus support is terrible. I cant tell you how many hours I have wasted trying to get this board fixed or replaced. I send it to them and they send it back saying nothing is wrong with it. I tell them that this is only board that is having this problem and they claim it is the CPU. Give me a break. This is the third computer I have built with this board. The first two did not have a broken or malfunctioning memory chip slot. I don't know what to do but try to find a different board manufacturer with better support. I hope you don't have broken memory slots.

Pros: Everything installs nice.
SOME good and useful software.

Cons: Had to manually turn off on-board lans from bios. Without this they interfered with PCIe LAN card. Win7.

Other Thoughts: I wish motherboard manufactures would not even include junk lans.

Pros: * Motherboard's layout is perfect for Cosmos 1000 if you are not overclocking. My cables do not run all over the place.
* Lots of USB ports
* EPU-6 Control is definitely a plus for managing power and heat

Cons: * I'm not even sure if the EZ Backup feature is actually mirroring my drives.
* RAM Slots are really tight which may be good. kept getting blue screen of death and "Memory management" for first two days. Found out RAM was not seated correctly. Moved RAM around and reinserted, no problems since.
* Doesn't detect GTX-295 under EPU-6
* Didn't come with installation disc. A request from Asus will cost you $11.95. NewEgg didn't want to help either.

Pros: Great manual Easy to install. Information not included in the manual easy to find on the net. This build was easier than my previous build w/ P4C800-e Deluxe. I do not Overclock I just want a durable premium system. I am a photographer ... I value redundency available with RAID 1

Cons: Would like to have used Intel RAID but did not want to dedicate 6-SATA 3.0 for RAID 1 exclusively. Used JMicron RAID seems ok. will have to see. Very easy interface

Other Thoughts: My Build P7P55d-Deluxe; i7-860 processor; 4GB Corsair 1600; BFG 1Gb Green 9800 ... 500 Gb Green WD SATA drive for OS; 2x - 1Tb WD 7200 Black Caviar drives for RAID I; Antec P160 Case Antec TP 750 PSU; Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate; Sun Microsystems Virtualization

Pros: overclocking made easy for those who want to. 9.1 surround sound. instruction manual was very easy to understand and computer booted up first time no problems and has run great since.

Cons: mail in rebates suck to fill out and send

Other Thoughts: i haven't got into overclocking very deeply but if i were to get into it it even has a remote to instant change clock speed w/o restarting or powering down machine.
