For the price, performance and features, I wouldn't go anywhere else. MSI really impressed me with this board and you notice how well thought out it is when you just open the box and see the little extras they throw in (I' wont ruin the surprise). It is the most affordable x58 board and I was able to overclock i7 920 @ 2.66 to 4.0 easy. The software they provide will set all the voltage settings for you. With the i7 920 price drop to 199.99, this board goes perfect for an affordable, yet extremely impression piece of hardware. I completely recommend this!! I looked at other boards my friends have (which they paid almost 2x for) and this board with an i7 920 overclocked out performance the i7 940 maxed overclocked on his Gygabyte board.

In order to maximize the performance and provide a stable power supply, MSI X58 Pro is equipped with the 2nd generation true 5-phase DrMOS power design and APS (Active Phase Switching) technology, which is the only OS independent power saver on the market. Recently Tom�s Hardware proved (in its P45 efficiency test) that unlike other solutions, both MSI DrMOS and MSI APS really help to save power. MSI X58 Pro is equipped with three dual-slot PCI Express x16 graphics slots
