I like it!

Pros: This was my very first build... I was scared to death to build my own system from scratch, and knew it would be very different than just replacing parts here and there.

Everyone I spoke to threw out all these other brand name mobo's, but what sold me was the fact that just about every negative, nutral, or even questions people had, Jacob always responded. It's usually not the typical response. He tries to answer all your questions.

This mobo is everything you could want from a good solid company. I was scared to buy such a fancy mobo for my first build, but... I did it, and im not sorry. I did have to call customer service twice while building, but they figured out the problem within 5 minutes and I wasn't on hold forever. My first thought was "Oh great, I have to call customer service, I mideswell have bought a pre-built PC from one of those cookie cutter PC dealers!" but I was 100% wrong. They were pleasent and even took into consideration that it was my first build.

I am very happy I picked EVGA. I knew (and still know) I am not much of an OC'er. I would love to learn how to tweak my i7 up a notch, but no matter how many people (who are also very nice) try to explain it to me on EVGA forums, I just see a bunch of numbers. But I love knowing the option is there, and that its a great quality board. I am now telling all my friends to go with an EVGA mobo and to get out of the rut of those other brands.

EVGA's Step-Up program is pretty neat too. Just today, I shipped back this mobo to get the X58 Classified. Was not expecting an upgrade so soon but love the feeling that I am getting a whole new mobo and feel that I am building a whole new system again. Gave me a reason to buy a second graphics card and a sound card while I wait.

Cons: NO CONS, only PROS! But heck, I have more space to write, why waste it?
