Better than 790i Ultra
Tech Level: high

Pros: Excact same spec's as evga's nForce 790i Ultra except that this board has more sata portsand a lower price. This board is rock solid.

Cons: Some power ports for ext. fans...

Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Good board that posted and installed windows first time. My Coolermaster 120mm cooler fit great with no interferrance with other components. The manual that came with the board was one of the better ones I've seen.

Lessons learned
Tech Level: average

Pros: This board has all the features necessary out of the box to run my intended build - 3x SLI EVGA GTX 280 cards. All of the included components were clearly labeled. Installing the board was easy and straight forward.

Reminded me that the Blue Screen of Death I have not seen since 2002 Still Exists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Pretty box, lots of neat colors to look at while your wondering if and when the New $3000 dollar gaming computer you just built is going to lock up, freeze or restart.
Cons: The worst, most unstable piece of junk I have ever used. I thought EVGA would be a better solution since ASUS has been having so many problems as of late. They don...

Great Board!!
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: New sideway cooling feature, few things added in bios, vdroop works, overclocks better than my asus board.
Cons: When up and running I noticed the MCP temps was 70-80c, this is because the heatsink did not made good contact with the NB chipset.
Other Thoughts: Love this board, here's my sys specs:

NVIDIA 790i BLUES
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

With all the negative reviews on the 790I Asus boards I decided to purchase this one. The installation went very smoothly lay out of the board is well thought out. The bios screen has more options then anyone would really need. Nice sturdy board f...
