Buid report, list of components,
My build:
– this mobo
– i7-9630x
– Corsair H80
– 32 GB of RAM (2 of 16GB kits of Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB PC3-12800 1600mHz)
– Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold (SPG) 800 Watts Modular Power Supply
– Cooler Master HAF X
All fits together 100%. The space is just right: cables are right length, the H80 clears the RAM heatsinks by about 1/4″ . Overclocks to 4.4 with 0 effort, temps are very reasonable, pretty quiet as well. It throttles back to 1.4GHz when there’s no load.
On the whole 2600k vs 96xxX debate. Think about this way: a 2600K with H80 is $200 less than a 9630x/H80 package deal. The top of the line mobos for both are in the same price range. For a performance freak in some of us the $200 is well worth it. But for most other folx it aint 🙂

|How to get this Board up and running….,
First off i was not impressed with this board. It actually took me hours to get it up and running. On problem was I used a Intel Core I7 3820 Chip which is way newer than the board itself. 2 things you should consider up front. Don’t waste your time with ASUS Techsupport they have no idea what the hell is going on.
No.1 you need to upgrade the bios via USB Stick. Its pretty simple follow this link […] and you are good to go. However it took me a few hours to figure out that my USB Flash Drive didn’t work even though it was formated FAT ect… If you run into the problem that it doesn’t flash switch the USB Flash Drive.
No.2 the board has 2 SATA Controller one is Intel the other one is Marvell. I only use 2 Hard Drives and 1 SATA DVD Drive and got constant problems while installing Windows 7. An somewhat easy solution is to no use the Marvell SATA Ports and disable Marvell SATA Controller in the Bios of the board. That should make it easy to install Windows 7 and have a running computer System.
Lots of people say the Board is DOA ect… that is not the case the problem most people have is that they need to make a bios upgrade. So after a headache i got this Board up and running and share this information in order to save the one or other a headache as well.

|Fast, stable and easy to work with,
I build all my own computers and have tried many motherboard manufacturers. In my humble opinion, ASUS makes the most stable and feature rich boards. This one is no exception. I’m using an Intel Core i7-3930 CPU, 16GB of G.Skill RAM and four drives, three of them are Crucial M4 SSD’s, and one WD 2TB hard drive. This ASUS motherboard supports SSD caching for the hard drive, which I’ve turned on and it works great. I’ve also tried the included ASUS AI auto-tuning overclocking software and it works flawlessly as well. Nothing to tweak, no complex adjustments. It automatically adjusts clock speed, voltage and everything else to produce a stable, overclocked system. If you’re looking for high performance and reliability, you won’t go wrong with the ASUS P9X79 Pro.
