ASUS P7P55D Premium ATX Intel Motherboard w/ SATA 6 Gb/s
Cons:some less than needed features for a high end board

Pros:lots of featureswill run two pci-e video cards at 8x
Comment:
First off, this board helped me achieve a 4.3ghz on my core17 860 cpu.However, the Turbo EVO auto tune will not get you anywhere near 4ghz. It really is a useless feature if you are an intermediate overclocker or better. Beginner overclockers will love the auto tune feature.The turbo-v remote is kind of gimmicky. It is cool an all, but the system because very unstable if you do large base clock speed changes. Which negates the usefulness for other than a secondary power switch for your computer.Careful of cheaper p7p55D boards. Check the manual if you plan on using multiple pci-e gpu's for sli or crossfire. The cheaper models will run one of the pcie slots at 16x times, and the second pci-e at 4x only. The higher end boards, like this premium board, will change the 16x down to 8x, and have the second pci-e at 8x. Only dual gpu cards, and anything better than 5870 will saturate the 8x speed.
