EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 X58 3-Way SLI Core i7 Motherboard
It works great with my new i7 rig and the extra expansion and ram slots allow for greater enhancements over time. I was able to attach all my usb devices in the rear with a couple of spares so my front jacks can be for usb drives and game controllers. I was able to install the board with a massive cooling unit in a coolermaster full tower and the i7 cpu's run in a range of 28-39 c before overclocking. This board's materials definitely help diffuse heat form the rest of the board because it's down in the 22-26 c range regardless of what I throw at it.
I use my system primarily for photoshop and 3D modeling in MAX, and I like to either listen to music or watch a movie on another screen while I work. This beast with an i7-950 and 10 gigs of ram running a 64-bit operating system from a 'raptor hard drive has exceeded all expectations.
I also really like the digital display for diagnosing problems and the key in the booklet that says what the codes mean. I haven't had any problems with it but on my older setup I had to listen for beeps and try to figure out what they meant and what counted as a long beep compared to a medium or short beep and what was a long pause. With this thing it'll tell me with a simple 2-digit display directly on the board.
I can also appreciate the SLI features, can't wait to get a third card hooked up.
All the greatest parts in the world won't help if you don't have a motherboard that is up to the task, this one certainly is and at a good price to boot.
