In my setup I have a Core i7 920, Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 heatsink/fan, 12GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 MHz memory XMP-1, 2 Sapphire HD4890 Toxic Edition Video Cards crossfireX, Creative Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Champion Series soundcard with the I/O drive 1 WD velociraptor 150GB Hard drive (boot), 1 WD 1TB Black Edition HD, 1 WD 500GB HD for backup, 1 Samsung DVD/RW, 1 LG GGW-H20L Blu-ray burner, 1 NZXT Sentry LX Fan controller, powered by a Corsair HX1000W power supply in a NZXT Tempest mid-tower case with 3 120mm fans, 2 140mm fans and a G.Skill memory fan running WIN7 RTM. Other than that the board is nicely setup and allows you to connect a multitude of peripherals. On to the motherboard itself: The layout is good, I can't say great since you are not able to insert a dual slot video card into the last PCI-E slot a limitation to those that want to run a true Tri-SLI setup. Upgrading from my previous setup of an EVGA 780i board to this board was like night and day(okay so this is obvious 775-1366) there is going to be a difference. This was the best decision I could have ever made.
I on the other hand have always been an EVGA user and was such a devoted diehard fan that it took me months to make the switch. I had my doubts about purchasing an Asus motherboard, although my husband has always used this brand and has never had problems.
