This socket 1366 mainboard has two USB3 ports but lacks SATA3, three PCIe x16 slots support both SLI and CrossFireX. Two BIOS chips make updating the BIOS very safe, besides that this board has good overclocking options and a great construction quality.

Overclocking:

The reviewers did not perform any overclocking, they elaborate on the six-phase voltage regulator circuit. Of the six available phases, four are used to generate the CPU main voltage, this mainboard has a 4+2 configuration. On their overclocking page they have a summary of all thew BIOS options ansd some BIOS Screenshots.

Compared To:

This mainboard was not compared to another board.

Benchmarks:

No benchmarks were tested.

Test Setup:

Unknown.
