I really like the motherboard, has 12 SATA ports and more USB3 ports than you can shake a stick at.


With the CPU determining the OC these days and pretty much every thing controlled by the CPU except sound the Deluxe is a good looking addition to the range, just for the SATA ports and looks alone.

Just got mine and waiting for the rest of the parts for my entirely new system!

I'm thinking we should get a thread up for OC'ing, support, etc. Yes?

Just finished putting mine together:

The 4 way tuning utility overclocked it to 4.5 out of the box - stable after 24 hours and after lowering the vcore a little to 1.38 has temps of 55c under load.

The clock speeds jump around a bit and I still haven't figured out how to get the MB to boot via usb 2, but so far so good.

Clock speeds jump about due to Speedsteep and that is a good thing.

EIST was one of the reasons I got the 4930k over the 3930k however I'm struggling to get a stable 4.6 overclock with a vcore under 1.5 - considering turning it off, though I'm such a begineer at manually overclocking that I wouldn't really know what to do from there.

4.6GHz is quite some OC for that platform, heat generation is quite intense at those voltages
