It's really hard to find LGA1155 boards that have more than 3 PCIe slots of x4 width or better, and this is one of them (you usually have to pay through the nose for them as well, this was no exception.) Flashed the BIOS to the latest (3604) and popped in an i5-3350P and a video card. Worked like a champ. Seems to outperform (based on Memtest+ 5.01 results) both my Intel Z68 mobo and an H77-chipset mobos also with LGA1155 sockets. That's with no real tuning or overclocking efforts in the BIOS - and let me tell you, the BIOS is definitely one of the most configurable ones I've ever taken a look at. Motherboard has a bunch of onboard buttons for power, reset, switching the BIOS it boots from, and an auto-tune button, so for just testing it out I didn't even have to wrestle with tiny little case connections and jumpers - a nice feature for sure. This mobo seems a rare find, but if you're looking for the ultimate LGA1155 mobo you pretty much just found it. Only downsides: P67 chipset, so remember, bring a video card, and there's no onboard legacy PCI slots - zero. So caveat emptor my friends, and good luck with the socket H2/LGA1155 retro-computing!Read full review
Top of the line mobo. Top dog.

If you like to overclock, and you are a real gaming enthusiasts, this is the board for you. I am using a i7 2700k sandy bridge stock at 3.8 ghz, but jacked up to 5.2 gHz. With the right cpu cooling I think I can get 5.7 out of it.
