Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓ Dual gigabit LAN: separate Intel and Atheros GbE controllers for teaming or two networks
- ✓ Five video outputs onboard: HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI-D and D-Sub from Ivy Bridge graphics
- ✓ Nine SATA ports total, five at 6Gb/s, plus an eSATA 6Gb/s and an mSATA slot
- ✓ Runs 2-way SLI and 2-way CrossFireX with PCIe 3.0 x16/x8 lane splitting
- ✓ Dual UEFI BIOS with onboard power, reset and Clear CMOS buttons for bench testing
Cons
- ✗ LGA1155 is end-of-life: only 2nd and 3rd Gen Core chips, no upgrade path past 2012
- ✗ 32GB DDR3 ceiling at 1600MHz officially, well behind modern DDR4/DDR5 platforms
- ✗ Third x16 slot runs at only x4, so a triple-card setup is bandwidth starved
- ✗ Only two native USB 3.0 ports; the other eight route through VIA VL810 hubs
