EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 X58 3-Way SLI Core i7 Motherboard with Tri-Channel DDR3 and Tuning Utility

PROs:
- Solid board. Very heavy compared to most other mobo's I've worked with (heavy being a good thing, due to the heatsink material,which you want in a mobo that will be running an i7)
Easy install
Easy setup.

I ordered one for a client and it operates fine. It was built for a business environment, so it is built as a desktop PC, NOT a gaming rig.

-cables - EVGA includes like 5 or 6 Sata cables, about 4 molex-to-sata adapters.
-adapters - evga includes the video connectors for multiple video card operation.
- onboard reset and cmos reset buttons
- 2 digit display on mobo, as a troubleshooting tool

- Warranty - register within 30 days and you will get the lifetime warranty on this mobo.
Otherwise it is only 2 years.

- Advanced RMA options:

NOTE: When you register this mobo at EVGA, you get ONE OPPORTUNITY to upgrade to an "Advanced RMA" program.
If you pass on it during registration, you will NOT get a second chance to order the advanced RMA option.

......During the registration process, you will be asked if you want to participate in the EAR program. After the registration process is complete, customers will no longer be able to participate in the EAR program.....

-Advanced RMA program:

"Quote"
The EVGA Advanced RMA (EAR) Program is a program to protect yourself and your product in the case of product failure. If something was to go wrong with your EVGA product the standard RMA process will be accelerated by prepaying for your shipping options with one of the plans available. This will cut down the amount of time your system will be down and save you money on shipping. Customers can choose to not participate in this program and if anything does go wrong in the future they can still apply for a standard RMA. Cross-Shipment on standard RMAs are not available and customers will be required to pay for shipping the product(s) back to EVGA. "Unquote"



The basic, free, RMA service requires customer to pay S&H, then EVGA will return ship it via standard ground. There is NO CROSS-SHIPPING.

Plan Ship In Ship Out Cross Ship Price
Standard RMA Customer Pays Free Ground No Free
Standard EAR Customer Pays Ground Yes $10.99
Premium EVGA Prepaid Ground Yes $14.99
Ground
2nd Day EVGA Prepaid 2nd Day Yes $21.99
Ground
Overnight EVGA Prepaid Standard Yes $29.99
Ground Overnight

Saturday Priority EVGA Prepaid Saturday Delivery Yes $39.99
Ground

If you think you'll need expedited service for any possible RMA, then even the most expensive option, $39.99, is not bad.

CONS:

- Requires an EPS 12volt (8-pin) power adapter, in addition to the standard 24-pin ATX.
If you plan to use an EXISTING POWER SUPPLY, make sure it has an EPS power connector.
The EPS 8-pin looks "similar" to the PCI-e 8-pin but is KEYED DIFFERENTLY.

You can buy a "Molex-to-EPS12" adapter for about $3 to $5 bucks.

NOTE: if you will be gaming with this mobo, then plan on buying a new power supply.

EVGA did NOT include the molex-to-EPS adapter, because it seems they don't want you to use a non-EPS power supply.

So if your power supply is a couple/few years old, plan on buying a new one.

Zotac IONITX-A-U Atom N330 Dual Core 90-Watt PSU WiFi ITX Intel Motherboard

this board is AWESOME! just got it after waiting for a month and a half for amazon to stock it, and it was definately worth the wait. I am running XBMC (XBMC.org) on it, the live version (9.04.1) and it plays every 720 and 1080p MKV file i can throw at it, using VDPAU acceleration. If you want a low power, low cost media center, definately grab this board!

System specs:

Zotac ION-A-U
4GB Patriot PC6400 ram
40GB Fujitsu 5400rpm laptop drive (for OS)
Universal M350 case
XBMC Live 9.04.1

MSI 790FX-GD70 SocketAM3/140W CPU/AMD 790FX CrossFire/4DDR3-2133(OC)/ATI Quad/Triple CrossFireX/2GbE/R/A/1394/ATX Motherboard

I purchased this board on Amazon after doing some research on the web, Mainly the tussle between Core I7 and Socket Am3. Core I7 is definitely faster but more expensive plus difference in performance is negligible UNLESS you're doing a Dual or Quad Crossfire gig.OK let me give you my full specifications:-

1. MSI 790FX-GD70
2. AMD Phenom 2 X4 955 3.2GHz, 6M L3 Cache
3. Zalman CNPS9700
4. Sapphire Radeon HD4870 1GB
5. Thermaltake Armor+Mx
6. Antec TPQ 850
7. HP 2159M HD Monitor
8. Corsair DDR3 1333 2x2GB (4GB Total)
9. Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB x 2

Folks I have this system up and running for about one month now with no problems. Some more specifications on the board as that is the main focus it has 4 DIMMS DDR3 2000+ up to 16GB, Four(4)PCI-E, Realtek 8 Channel bluray Ready Audio, Dual GB LAN, IEEE 1394, Raid, SATA2 , ESATA, Overclock Dial, Live Update, ATI Crossfire Technology, Express Cool (Eliminates noise), Rapid Boost (Stable Overclocking), AMD 790FX Chipset , ATI SB750 Chipset.Even has a Coaxial S/PDIF out jack /Optical S/PDIF out port. You gamers need to know though if youre going Quad there's not going to be much room to add anything else (the two PCI slots and the PCI-E X1 ) my card covers the PCI-E X1 the monster takes up two slots!! You'll also have to boost your power supply probably to a 1000 watts. Please note also that Socket AM2+ processors WILL NOT work In Socket AM3 boards, whilst Socket Am3 processors will work in socket AM2+\AM3 motherboards.
