    Excellent choice for your Socket 2011 build, May 16, 2012

    This review is from: MSI Intel X79 ATX DDR3 2400 LGA 2011 ATX Motherboard X79A-GD65 (8D) (Personal Computers)

    I spent months doing research, agonising about which board to purchase. I had already narrowed down CPU and video card choices before hand so the last remaining choice to make was the board. I had basically narrowed down my search to the Rampage IV Extreme or the Sabertooth X79.

    One day I came across this MSI and it is as if the skies opened up and a heavenly tune played. Reviewing the board’s layout, built in cooling and colour scheme as well as feature set, it compared very closely to the Sabertooth and even the Rampage (minus the bundled goodies of course)

    Of particular importance was the board’s overclocking features since I was planning to pair it with an i7 3930k. Based on reviews online it seemed that this board delivers and then some. Turns out that they were right. I currently have my 3930k running @ 4.2ghz stable @ 1.180v on the vcore, prime stable @ 12 hours. I am very certain that this CPU can do a LOT more on this mainboard.

    The Click II bios is VERY intuitive and is a massive step up from the ‘blue screen’ bios of my previous MSI x58 Pro . The ONLY issue I have with the BIOS is that the built-in browser and Live Update does not function even after following the included instructions to the letter, but this is a very minor issue. All other features work great.

    One other standout feature is the built in Realtek 8-channel sound. In the past I have had to use a Creative X-Fi sound card to supply my Logitech Z-2300 with decent audio, however this realtek chip has enough juice that I do not even need an additional sound card.

    Here is a run down of my build: (all bought right here on Amazon)

    Case: MYOPENPC DOMA Pro PCI
    CPU: Intel i7 3930k @ 4.2ghz 24/7
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB)
    Cooler: Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E
    Board: MSI X79-GD65 (8D)
    HDD: Crucial M4 128gb, 300gb WD Velociraptor
    Video: 2xGTX 680 Evga

    In summary, this is an OUTSTANDING board. You absolutely cannot go wrong as it performs among the best at a price that is cheaper than the rest.

    Can’t really say much doa and ended up going with the rampage IV formula! But luckily had it shipped back the next day with amazon great service and outstandingly quick shipping for my refund.
