Cons:
No SATA3 or USB3
Pros: Nice board for the price (cheapest one yet) Comment:
I like this board. I bought heatsinks for the MOSFETS because on the pic and from others reviews I thought there were none but mine came with the heatsink and my board was black. Took me a while to get a proper stable OC (3.5 Ghz using GSKILL 1333 memory). |

Comment:
Could never get this motherboard to run correctly, it kept crashing windows after about the 25th time I gave up, Windows reported a memory problem, but memory checked out okay. I Rma'd this one in on an Asus motherboard, which I am very happy with. |

Comment:
Everything was as advertised. Solid construction. Nothing felt flimsy or like it was about to break. -The temperatures seemed fine. The computer would not POST unless I put the RAM in the black RAM slots. Otherwise, it would beep at me and throw a fit. The side SATA ports didn't work well at all in an Antec 900 case. My whole cable management scheme fell apart when the SATA ports took up the designated spot for the mobo power cable. If they were in a different spot, the idea would've been genius. It works just fine, and this motherboard is pretty much what it is. I stress tested it and there were no temperatures out of the ordinary. Good motherboard; I would buy again. |

Cons: For my uses, a built-in video interface would be good.
Pros: Trouble free installation, nice performance, Good cable / port collection. I like the front panel plug mechanism. Comment:
I used this to put together an audio workstation with a MOTU PCI-424 / 2408Mk3 interface and I like it.Setup was straightforward. Construction quality looks good. I like the passive chipset heatsink. Feature set and i/o port set has everything I need.With 6 GB Ram, i7 920 CPU, WD 1 GB Green drive - performance is sweet. Windows 7 64-bit came up without a hitch, the MOTU interface has 64-bit drivers. The system hasn't crashed at all. This system got to a useful state more quickly than any of my previous Sonar machines.Running Sonar 8 Producer my existing projects barely dents the CPU meters.Now to find that free video card link... |

Cons: Issues with S3 Resume with Bclk settings above ~150. Fan header placements may be in the way for double slot video cards.
Pros: Great value in a small form factor. Comment:
Offers all the benefits of an X58 motherboard. Great stability, performance, and overclocking, all in a microatx form factor. Great for an SFF or a small PC for LANs. |

Pros: Good Cheap PriceFree Video Card With Purchase Comment:
I was looking for a cheap entry into the world of the i7 and this board fit the needs perfectly from all the reviews I've seen on the web. MSI's promotion of a free videocard with purchase helped sweeten the deal immensely.Will update the review when I have more experience with the board.

Cons: should reserve more space in slot section
Pros: SLI~ I love it Comment:
I Like the board! It can perfectly fit my case.The performance is exactly the same as I expected for a X58 Core i7. not bad ~ |
price was just incredible, couldn't believe itit's a micro ATX card, with 6 slots of dimm, space is precious, overall the design is good.quality is average, a budget x58 board.
