The labels made me thing I didn't have a proper connector from my power supply. This caused me some delay. EVGA tech support resolved my questions here. The connector auxiliary power for graphics is just the standard 4-pin connector that all power supplies have.
It would be nice if EVGA would post an errata sheet for their manual. It would help many people out and probably reduce their support volume a bit. Pros: Excellent overclocking options and capabilities. Excellent packaging, cabling, accessories. Running stable at fsb, 3. Cons: SATA ports are numbered wrong in manual and not in order on board. Since SATA ports are grouped in twos by controller chips, color coding in pairs would help a lot. Don't buy a Maxdaspeed 6 if you can't afford the premium gas.
Because this board uses cheap electrolytic caps instead of Solid Aluminum Caps it is more likely to fail under hear. It has excelent airflow. NForce chipsets get hotter than Intel chipsets allot hotter and they need better cooling. Bottom line is good PSU and good Cooling is necessary if you want to keep this board. Cons: Wish it had all aluminum caps. We are more than willing to pay extra to get a better board. Overall Review: It's an excelent overclocker, not as good as some P boards, but really good.
But it makes up for that with the ability to run most types of RAM, plenty of TWeaking options and performance second to no other Intel board at this time. Then again the Gigabyte DQ6 has the same issue, but that one costs two times and a half as much as this.
Or if you ever bought a rebated product from EVGA before, you'd get zero rebates. Only workaround would be to have friends buy the 2nd and 3rd components for you.
Asked Newegg to highlight EVGA's thumbs-down policy on their product blurbs and Newegg agreed it might be a good idea. Only other way to get the info is to read the fine print on rebate forms before buying and who the h is going to do that?
Other than me. HD audio is noticeably better than typical onboard solutions. Easy to set-up bios with an extensive manual. Cons: PCIE slots are not 2. The caps should all be solid state but instead are a mix. The RAM and Chipset run hot so a cool case is a must.

Overall Review: this board will do some major overclocking in the right hands. Cons: You have to install the chipset fan, else you'll get ridiculous temps.
Pros: This motherboard is awesome, worth every penny. It overclocks magnificently. Intel 2. Not just the chipset, but the networking, on-board sound which is surprisingly very good etc. They stand behind it, and used it as a the demonstration board when they first debuted their new chipset and GTX video card. The layout of the board is excellent!
A good CPU fan will pull warm air off the memory and off the CPU blowing it right into a mm fan blowing out of the case.
Cons: There are minor quirks with this board or the manual. Do get one of the high end CPU fans like the Zalm You will need to modify its bottom plastic not metal brace by completely cutting out a couple of small holes in the brace. I used wire cutters and a file.
Its easy to do, but if you don't, you will smash two areas of protruding circutry on the bottom of the motherboard. Simply reverse the cable,they do work. The CPU fan connector has 4 pins -- this is not a flaw.
But, my Zalman fan has a 3 pin connector. Just make sure with a 3 pin connector, the blank pin on the motherboard you do not use is the control pin.
Your fan will simply run at full speed which is fine. If you hook it up wrong the fan won't work. Shut off fast and fix. Check memory speeds. It should be The manual tells you how. Pros: I've been building servers, workstations and gaming rigs since before the 1st Windows. The processor was super, but the motherboard sucked. I could always sell the E and motherboard in a system for more than I paid for them, so there would be no out of pocket cash loss. I kept reading the reviews and noticed common threads in the majority of negative reviews.
Folks were using sub-standard components for a high performance gaming rig, they didn't read the manual, they didn't up-date to the current BIOS, etc.
Cons: Continued However, they seem to be responsive to customers with RMAs and fixes. Every i has the same type of reviews. I am thrilled with the easy installation and fantastic performance of this product.
