“Overall, this motherboard was exactly what I expected from a high-end LGA1366 motherboard. It had a plethora of USB ports, SATA ports, multi-GPU support, and DDR3 triple-channel support. After getting a replacement motherboard, we can safely say this board is definitely a great overclocker too. The price point might be a bit high for some to pay, but for everything that’s bundled, it’s a decent deal for those who can afford it.”Here are some more Motherboard articles from around the web:

MSI eclipses the competition
The MSI Eclipse SLI X58 LGA 1366 is the top of the line board from MSI, with a long list of features to make enthusiasts green with envy. Three PCI-E 16x slots for whatever SLI or Crossfire setup you could wish for, 6 DDR3 slots, a Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme H/W Audio Card, support for 10 SATA drives and a lot more. Once Steve had unboxed it and easily hit 4GHz with a Core i7 920, this board can scream and it doesn’t take much effort to do it. Check out the review at the top of the page.
