Outstanding MOBO,
Building a gaming rig? Want a mobo with a lot of room, SLI capability, etc? This is the one for you. Temperature readout right on the mobo. Everything is labeled so even the novice computer builder (read me) can easily find where to plug things in. Have been running this now for about 2 months and it’s a dream. Boot time with Win 7 on a hybrid SSD is about 10 seconds (the only thing that slows it down is when I have my two externals turned on). NO ONBOARD GRAPHICS so make sure you have a video card. The onboard sound is EXCELLENT and sounds great thru my Klipsh THX surround system. No need for a sound card.

|Great board!,
Great service, amazing board. What more can you ask for? Installed it and bam! Turns on fine. Easy to overclock, and the design is great. Love the evga light breathing. I definitely would recommend it to anyone upgrading to a z68 board.

|Nice!,
Great upgrade from my old EVGA board. So far it is running smoothly and has a nice little glowing EVGA logo on it. Only issue I have had is with the SATA 3.0 ports. First you have to update the BIOS to A05 to get it up to date. After that, be sure you do not put any SATA 2.0 devices into the SATA 3.0 ports or they will be unrecognized or give you random issues. This appears to be undocumented and an issue other users are experiencing. Also, after the BIOS update be sure to do a CMOS reset to ensure the settings are not corrupted. Aside from those initial issues, it is running smoothly with my other components!
