Fixed Sleep mode BSOD's

Ixad, Newegg
17 February 2013
  • Summary: Failure indicated is a 0x00000101, which generally means you need more power to the CPU.
  • Pros: This has been a great board: with one caveat- the extreme tuner software it comes may have some issues.
  • Cons: BSOD almost without fail coming out of sleep mode.

Ramladon, Newegg
8 February 2013

  • Cons: The x 79 fan that is built into the board does not seem to work. It might be because it is ran by a heat sensor. There was no indication in the book or anywhere else t...

Great Mobo

ultraboy, Newegg
16 October 2012
  • Pros: I am a video editor and decided to go the Xeon route for my next edit system. I'm using this Mobo because it has the PCI-E3 which I just enabled with my new GTX-680. M...
  • Cons: Like others, I immediately had a problem with freezing. No BSOD's which I thought was really odd. I was pulling my hair out trying to solve it because it seemed so RAN...

good, but change bios settings

ed, Newegg
29 September 2012
  • Summary: The fan speed controls can be adjusted, but even at 1 (of 10) they will run a fan pretty fast.
  • Pros: Works.
  • Cons: I had an issue for the first several months where the computer would freeze without warning, nothing in syslogs. It seems to have been caused by a very aggressive sout...

Average board

Newegg
19 August 2012
  • Summary: Ended up pulling out a random SATA cable and plugging it to another random port. Worst part is that I forgot which one, so I'm doomed if I get a new case.
  • Pros: Took a while, but somehow managed to get it to work.
  • Cons: I think one of my SATA ports is broken? Plugged in 3 hard drives, 2 SSD, and 1 optical drive. Board wouldn't post. Monitor stayed blank (didn't even see the bios scree...

CPU Fan Too Big

Choubacca, Newegg
24 May 2012
  • Pros: I love this board, but didn't know that I couldn't use the SATA 3 ports on the very top, no big deal figured that out. Other than that, been a very nice board, the Cle...
  • Cons: Bought a Noctua DH-14 before and is reusing, problem is that the heatsink is so massive that it covers the top PCIE 3.0 port so that takes away tri-SLi
