 Rating:  - Great product, read this to save yourself some headachesI'm extremely happy with the board. There were two issues that I had, not with the board, but read this to avoid problems. Initially I purchased two sets of OCZ3G2000LV6GK 6GB tri channel kits to populate 12GB on the board. Each kit worked by itself just fine as 6GB, but put in together I would see any random amount of memory from 4GB to 10GB, but never 12GB. Playing with timings did not yields any better results. It looked like there were some potentially bad memory slots on the board, and I had read reviews where other people had jumped to this conclusion. However I went out and purchased more expensive Corsair tr3x6g1600c7g kits. These worked perfectly out of the box at 1600 Mhz with no parameter tweaking necessary. Needless to say the OCZs were RMA'd. The second was a more problematic problem. I installed Windows 7 x64 ultimate and had configured a Raid 10 array with 4 x Seagate 1.5TB drives. Everything worked fine for about a week, then suddenly my system locked up. Upon reboot ... Read More Rating: - pretty nice motherboardThis motherboard is pretty awesome. Its very easy to do overclocking, nice temperature gauge, very nice looking because its blacked out and has some gray as well. The only problem I have with the board is that it has a very slow boot up due to the numerous splash screens. There is not any quick boot option so it is very annoying to restart the computer or even to start it up. Over all this unit is very clean and very nice. my rig i7 920 at 4.2 ghz @ 30C idle evga x58 sli x3 A1 Cooler Master V8 6GB Corsair Dominator at 8-8-8-24 1600mhz 1 x Hitachi 7200rpm Deskstar 32mb cache 1 x Maxtor 7200rpm cache HD 5770 (maybe christmas time) Cooler Master Stacker 830 (AWSOME!) Rating:  - Solid BoardI recently looked at the price and I am glad I got this early. As part of a bundle I got this board for $249. If you want to enable eSATA as a hot plugin make sure you change your BIOS settings before you install your OS as it will cause BSOD if you try changing it after you OS is installed. Rating: - EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1-X58 SLI x 3 Mainboard=Rock Solid Performer!What a name for a motherboard! EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1-X58 SLI x 3 Motherboard....!!! WOW, you'd think that EVGA would have picked something trendy, or KUHL, like "E758 Rocketboard", or "BL-132 Blast Off Board"..oh I dunno, I am failing miserably just like EVGA did, so I'll stop there. No harm in trying to get a handle on it though, right? Well, the review of this thing is long, long overdue, so I'm going to have a go at it, wish me luck in getting all my thoughts about this great intermediate X58 board, and I only write that because it IS an intermediate board to the Classified series of EVGA boards. By itself, the 132-BL E758 board stands on its own merits, and has a lot of good people who have built it up over the past year since its release, but people are always wanting to compare it to Classified...that will NOT be the case here, tonight, I promise you that. I started out with this motherboard and the Core i7 920 series CPU, my 1st i7 920 build this year, and the ... Read More Rating: - EVGA x58 SLIEVGA Great name and lifetime warranty. If anyone has ever dealt with EVGA then they know the meaning of customer service, they are second to none. I have bought their products for years and have no complaints they are excellent in every regard! |
