This board is on sale right now at the egg. I'm not sure if its because its a pos but it is by far the cheapest x79 board I've ever seen.
this chip is a thread monster. But if your not using any apps or software that is taking advantage of those threads it's a waste of cash... As most games don't max out the threads of a quad core.

4 dimm slots I see but unless I'm missing something there are 2 PCIE 3.0 x16 slots and 1 x8. The board says SLI in its name lol. Still not saying it's a good board or anything.Only 4 dimm slots for 32GB max and only one PCIE 3.0, so no SLI. That's why the price. If this board is attractive to anyone, they are really miss-shopping for Z77.

If you don't know, you don't need it.
...because you would never, ever, ever again need to upgrade your pc...
meh....$499 now.
I keep talking myself out of getting it because i'm cheap. I could use it but I can't see spending the $ since I already have a 3820. I'm debating on holding out for the 8c/16t or 10c/20t chips.
Same here, got the new X79 system late Sept and was thinking of the 3930k at MC. $499.99 vs. $229.99. Perhaps I'll just wait for the i7-3970K to go down in price. ^_^
These are X79, not Z77. Big price difference right there.
