They are great boards, but I seemed to be one of the few people that sticked around with these EVGA boards and I will tell you, I wouldn't swap it out for any other board. I've done 223BLCK just like any other board at 4650 MHz or somewhere around that clock. Memory issues, well I haven't had any. The BIOS releases really helped this board mature a lot and honestly if I needed another x58 board, it'll be another EVGA
