Great Board So Far.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Setup was pretty easy. It worked right out of the box, and I got it to POST correctly on the first try.
This is my first new build for quite a while, so that may be the reason I think this, but still; the BIOS settings are amazing. You have control over *everything.*
Cons: Just one: The "optional" fan fo...

780i F-T-W
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Great EVGA tech support & 90-day step up ****
8-phase power & solid state capacitors promise to give it better overclocking stability that the nVidia refrence 780i (132-CK-NF78-A1)
If anything like the 750I F-T-W this should be an awesome OCing MB
Cons: ****step-up excludes stepping up to another F-T-W product
This F-T-W version d...

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Solid State. setup for 45 nm 775 intel chips. Easy to overclock. Great tech support. Great community boards

780i with Vista does not work
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: 3 way SLI - not sure why?
Cons: I have been working with this chipset for many months. The Sata drivers in Vista causes constant BSOD (irq is greater or less than). The IRQ error makes no sense, because I only have two video cards and the PhysX card installed in the computer. In addition, the sound card causes BSOD with the error code 0000124. EVGA support, were helpful, b...

Beware of Windows Update.
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 3 way SLI, which is why I bought it, I have 2x8800GTX cards and am thinking of adding a third.
Can Raid0 two sets of drives.
Cons: Windows update will update nvidia RAID (and other?) drivers that will corrupt RAID0.
Other Thoughts: I bought this knowing about various problems with 780 SLI.

Pros: Great looking board with many nice features. I'm using an E8500, 4GB Mushkin XP2-8500 Ascent, and 2x XFX 9600GTs with the board (@ stock speeds). Not a single compatibility problem with these components.
Cons: Manual could be a little more detailed.
