Pros: Update Cons: Update Other Thoughts: UPDATE - The SM C7X58 MOBO seems to have issues with DDR3s that are rated above 1.5V. Found the MOBO to be completely stable with 3 CORSAIR 1.5V TR3X6G1333C7G DIMM chips - The 1.65V TR3X6G1866C9DF were NOT Stable as noted [BSOD] in the 1st Bank, but OK as Bank 2 addons for 12G in short term testing? from Newegg.com Pros: Seems to be well made and setup and intergrated into the NZXT case without issues. Cons: Would NOT Boot with 3 2G-DDR3 sticks 1.65V that were OK per SM TS prior to purchase. Loaded new "B" BIOS to get to boot with the CORSAIR PC3 15000 Dom. from Newegg.com With the current offering of x58 MB this one stands out for several reasons. It does not sport any of the bling-bling you see on "eXtreme gam3r" products like crazy heat pipes (moving "teh heatz" whole 3" away!) and overclocking widgets. from Amazon.com Pros: This is my 5th SuperMicro board (P6DNF, P6DGH, X6DAE-G, C2SBX) and this one does not disappoint. This board has none of the minor quirks that I have found in the past. from Newegg.com Pros: Ok, I wrote the last 1 star review. I have new information that will help people make their decision. from Newegg.com Pros: I have been a patriotic supermicro man for 8 years now. I have only used intel or supermicro products. I love supermicro. from Newegg.com Pros: Good price, from research I did, great for people that do other things then just games on their computers (MS Visual Studio, Video editing) Great customer service from SuperMicro Cons: The reason I'm returning it, there's a senselessly placed diode type thing sticking out of the board on the corner of the CPU holder closest to the RAM Slots & the IO panel that prevents installing an upgraded CPU Cooler, I've tried the Thermaltake and the ZAaman 9700 with the 1366 Adapter. The adapter won't fit to the board due to that stupid thing being in the way. from Newegg.com Pros: This is an installation note for all x58 motherboards.. It is strongly suggested to check with the motherboard manufacturer on tested memory. Intel QPI specifications for both the 920 and 940 is 133mhz. from Newegg.com With the current offering of x58 MB this one stands out for several reasons. It does not sport any of the bling-bling you see on "eXtreme gam3r" products like crazy heat pipes (moving "teh heatz" whole 3" away!) and overclocking widgets. from Amazon.com Cons: The reason I'm returning it, there's a senselessly placed diode type thing sticking out of the board on the corner of the CPU holder closest to the RAM Slots & the IO panel that prevents installing an upgraded CPU Cooler, I've tried the Thermaltake and the ZAaman 9700 with the 1366 Adapter. The adapter won't fit to the board due to that stupid thing being in the way. So unless you plan on using the stock Intel cooler, make sure your cooler fits with this obstruction. Other Thoughts: Waited all week to set up this bad boy and when the CPU cooler wouldn't fit, I died a little inside :( from Newegg.com
