This Asus LGA 1156 motherboard is just incredible. 2 USB 3.0 ports at the back. 2 SATA3 6GB/s ports. These features were really really rare on LGA 1156. And there is still 7 SATA2 3GB/S ports left. So there is 9 SATA ports in total. I've never seen this. I use it for an http server for my personnal use and all my HDDs can be plugged in internally. I overclocked a little i5-750 from 2.66 to 3.8 GHz with my eyes closed. I just put all the voltage settings in the red and it ran Prime95 for 12 hours without a problem! Runs really cool, boots quickly. I gotta say it's one of the best mobo I ever owned. Be aware, video outputs are useles if you don't have integrated graphics in your CPU, which was a flaw for many LGA 1156 CPUs. For example, the i5-750 and the i7-875k that I own need to be paired with a video card to get video. Just buy a cheap Radeon HD5450 or some random 5 years old video card with HDMI output and you're good to go!Read full review

I replaced a closely related ASUS board in a aluminum case I love and had for 15 years. Not super fast but not slow. The boards have many connections for peripherals, which is what I needed.

The board has a full system diagnostic before posting, has sata 6G on a separate sata controller while sata II is on another controller, 2 pcie x16 expansion slots, 2nd slot is a full x16 but locked at x4 speeds, crossfire capable (sli is not supported but possible on any board), a lot of expansion and has a lot of extra fun features, I myself upgraded from a P7H55-M Pro so the design is very similar and functions the same way, many fan connectors (thank you asus) has legacy IDE connector on its own separate controller, has USB 3.0, super charged USB 2.0, thunderbolt, no USB 3.0 expansion (disappointed but not really necessarily required, just use the USB 3.0 ports on the back silly), I had this setup since 2009/2010 and I really wanted to reach the highest possible limit from this generation architecture and with this board I can finally do that, LGA 1156 started everything that we have now and it shouldn't ever be forgotten, the Nehalem series is in my own opinion the most reliable cpus that intel has ever released.Read full review
