6 Months and going strong.

ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Stable, fast, overclocked i7-970 to 4.2ghz Solid. CM Storm Scout case with plenty of airflow. Average (forgot which) Dual 120mm Heatpipe Heatsink.

Cons: I have literally zero complaints.

Overall Review: Coming from a respected service technician with 16 years of building experience. I would definitely recommend this motherboard.

Rock solid

Pros: Fast, stable, and great for my I7 970/ Asus Sabertooth motherboard. I'm a power user/gamer and this 6gb kit has treated me well.

Cons: Not positive on this but I think it is limiting my overclockability.. but this isn't a huge con as six cores at 3.8ghz runs just about everything just fine. I don't mind paying higher prices for good products, but I think the price point is a bit high considering the limitations on speed from this ram.

Overall Review: Wish I would've bought two 6gb kits, but I'll wait for the price to come down more.

awesome board

Intel BOXDP55WG LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Very solid motherboard. I bought it virtually new from a friend and it's been running like a champ ever since. It's not known to be a great overclocking board but I have a core i5-750 @ 3.8ghz no problem. That's a 1.2ghz overclock. Not too shabby. Another thing worth noting is the on-board RAID does a pretty good job considering what it is.

Cons: Fried my network port... I have that problem a lot. I think it was me more than a defective board.

Overall Review: Great board, but better performance boards out there for the buck.
