Well im maybe the only person who thinks this, but they make far too many boards in any given range. I dont know why they just dont stick to 3 boards in every platform.

standard
luxury
extreme

Look at the Z68 range right now, must be 30 boards available. very confusing.

As an owned of this mobo i can vouch for its brilliant performance and bios. I have no experience in overclocking but using the auto tuning feature paired with a 2500k i have achieved 4.630gz though i am using the Corsair Hydro H60 cooler. The temperatures while gaming are amazingly low. The weird thing is that the mobo reaches about 28 degrees Celsius and the cpu around 26.

As this is the first rig i have ever built i’m glad i didnt opt for any other mobo within that price range.

Just built a new computer with this motherboard. So far no problems. Works great. The Intel SRT technology is great.
