Pros: Price was cheap at the time Cons: chipsets run hot.had 2 DOA motherboards out of 3 thats sub quality manufacturing. New egg was slow to RMA the motherboard and the replacement was DOA as well. MSI charged to repair motherboard when it was a manufacture's defect from Newegg.com I left everything to 'auto' and run an i7 920 cpu, I dont overclock. At any rate - I submitted for a replacement. Other Thoughts: MSI is usually good for me, this was just a bad board... I hope. from Newegg.com Pros: It looks like it has loads of great features if it worked, board sets up and installs easily but thats about where it ended for me Cons: On first boot everything came on and ran for about 2 minutes then powered down exuding the smells of burnt electronics and the board was shot... All other components check out so it has to have been the board. Other Thoughts: My processor got back ordered from intel so my 30 days for RMA from newegg are past before I even got a chance to run the board. Now I guess I have to deal with MSI support. from Newegg.com All the features you might need for an excellent price: 6 SATA + 2 (one eSATA without need of any additional bracket) from Amazon.com Pros: * Easy instructions* Mounted, plugged everything in, turned the power on, it all worked. * Enough said! from Newegg.com Pros: 1. Tweakable beyond my comprehension: definitely a very flexible motherboard for OC'ers.2. Has adapters for attaching individual leads from from case ports (e.g., USB), so you don't need tweezers to place the leads. from Newegg.com Pros: All easy to use, good price and great performance with this i7 and corsair DDR3 ram. Cons: None but wish it had the easy OC that my other P55 from msi has with the + and - on the board:( Other Thoughts: The 16X pci-e are great, im using it with a gtx295. from Newegg.com Pros: Board looks great as does everything included. Can't wait to install her! from Newegg.com Manual is so/so and not very detailed. Other Thoughts: Was really surprised that everything went so well after hearing some of the stories here. I have had good luck with MSI in teh past and it looks like it held. Intel i7 920MSI x58-e pro6 gig triple channel OCZ gold 1600OCZ 900 watt modular Power Supply from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap Cons: When windows went into standby mode, the MB locked itself in suspend mode and would not come back. Purchased the ASRock X58 Deluxe MB as a replacement Other Thoughts: MSI failed yet again from Newegg.com
