and yes it is .. that's why you buy a big case ! Other Thoughts: I'm a big fan of Asus .. its very reliable. from Newegg.com You get what you pay for though. Other Thoughts: When installing, make sure to plug in the LCD Poster and Rear I/O Panel in BEFORE screwing your board down, it will save you a ton of hassle trying to get fatty fingers in there to plug them in. System:Antec 1200ASUS Rampage II Extreme w/ X-Fi Audioi7-920 w/ XIGMATEK Dark-Knight heatsink(2) Sapphire Radeon HD 5770's in CrossfireCorsair Dominator 6GBCorsair HX850WWD Raptor 74GBWD Black 640GB from Newegg.com with a i-7 965 Cons: None at all. Perfection!! Other Thoughts: asus gets a 10 frome me!! from Newegg.com Fired right up with no problems, Windows 7 had the the drivers for me to not even need to run the enclosed software disk. There are a ton of OC options and a boat load of fan connectors which was exactly what I needed for my NZXT Tempest case. Recognized my Mushkin Redline DDR3 1600 6-7-6-18 setting with XMP profile 1. Cons: Not much of a con but some of the connectons like the backlite I/O board are a pin to plug in if the MB is already in the case. from Newegg.com I've only had the board a day and already achieved a benchmark stable 4.42 ghz overclock on a 920. The bios throws a lot at you at first but after you familiarize yourself with the settings, it's really easy to navigate and figure out what you need to see. I struggled for weeks researching reviews on every x58 board and I finally decided this was the one I wanted. I am completely satisfied with my decision. from Newegg.com the board is stable with my i7 920 oc'd to 4.2ghz w/ turbo and all cores enabled @ 1.35v. this board is expensive, but worth it if you like to squeeze out everything to the max. from Amazon.com Pros: This board is rock solid. With the last 2 bios releases, the board fully supports the W35X0 Xeon i7. The bios also allows for selecting the x21 multi without being forced to run SpeedStep (EIST and C1E). from Newegg.com Pros: Rampage 2 extreme and Intel 965 [co] cpu, easily clocked to 3.940 Ghz [base clock 140, multiplier at 28] on Swiftech water @ 1.41 volts. CPU temps in the low 30's, MB/NB/SB in the low 40's. from Newegg.com Pros: Kind of works Cons: Peace of junk worst board Ive ever had nothing worked right switched to a gigabyte extreme and every thing worked no prob never buy asus again Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,We are sorry for this inconvenience. If you still have the motherboard, we would like to assist you in resolving your problems and get you a working replacement. from Newegg.com Pros: None because it fried on startup. Cons: I agree with ProPilotB6 earlier comments that this board eats Core I7's. I have been avid user of Intel and Asus for my MOBO's for years; unfortunately I purchased in March, but due to circumstances couldn't assemble the Asus Rampage II Extreme LGA 1366 & Core I7 Extreme 965 until September. from Newegg.com
