## Description

Product Description Intel DX58SO Desktop board supporting the Intel Core i7 processors. Support ATI Crossfire Technology, 8GB of DDR3-1600 memory, 7.1 Dolby Digital Audio, 12 USB ports, SATA RAID From the Manufacturer The Desktop Board DX58SO is part of Intel's Extreme motherboard series, and has been specifically designed to harness the power of Intel Core i7-900 series processors. Based on the X58 chipset, the DX58SO supports all processors with LG1366 sockets, and fully supports ATI CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI technology. The DX58SO is an ATX form factor board and measures 12 by 9.6 inches. It is packed with enough PCI connectors, DDR3 memory sockets, and peripheral ports to satisfy the most demanding users. Unleash the Power of Intel's Core i7 Series Processors With the Intel Core i7 processors, Intel engineers introduced a revolutionary new style of micro-architecture. They removed the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- and replaced it with a new technology known as QuickPath Interconnect (QPI). As a result of these changes, only motherboards with the new LGA1366 socket can support Core i7 processors. The DX58SO features the LGA1366 socket, and has been specifically designed to make the most of the Intel Core i7 processor's power. It incorporates special over-clocking hardware, which allows users to push their computer's performance to its limit. However, please note that the LGA1366 socket is only compatible with Core i7-900 series processors. Those with Core i7-800 series and Core i5-700 series should instead purchase a motherboard with the LGA1156 port (such as the Intel DP55KG). Optimize Performance with Intel Desktop Control Center The Intel Desktop Control Center makes it easy for you to do more with your desktop board than ever before. With just one click of a button, this tool automatically tunes the processor, memory, and bus speed for maximum stability and performance. The Desktop Control Center also lets you monitor your system temperature while giving you control over voltages and fan speeds. Multi-GPU Support for Ultimate Graphical Performance PC gaming is more immersive than ever before, but it is also much more hardware-intensive. Behind those beautiful, next-generation visuals are thousands of rapid calculations that the graphics card has to process. The DX58SO fully supports NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFire technologies, which allow users to utilize two graphics cards and increase the GPU output. This added graphical power eliminates frame-rate hiccups and slowdowns, delivering the smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience users have always wanted. Loaded with Memory, PCI, and Peripheral Support With dozens of ports and connectors, the DX58SO gives computer enthusiasts the flexibility they need to build their dream machine. It offers support for 1600 MHz, 1333 MHz, and 1066 MHz variants of DDR3 memory. With four DDR3 SDRAM DIMM sockets, the DX58SO can accommodate up to 16 GB of system memory -- an invaluable resource for heavy multitaskers. The DX58SO also features enough ports to interface with all of your computer accessories and gadgetry. It has 12 USB 2.0 ports (8 external ports and 2 internal headers), and six serial ATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports including two eSATA ports with RAID support. With two IEEE-1394a ports, the DX58SO is equipped to handle all of your audio/video transfer needs. A Consumer IR receiver and emitter are also included, enabling you to use all of the latest remote PC-interfacing devices. For more advanced computer expansion, the DX58SO also features four PCI connectors, including one PCI conventional bus add-in card connector, two PCIe 2.0 x16 connectors for graphics cards, and one PCIe 1.0a x16 connector. Integrated High-Definition Audio and High-Speed Ethernet Whether playing MP3s or immersing yourself in game sound effects (SFX), you can expect crisp sound from the DX58SO. It features a 10-Channel Dolby 7.1 audio subsystem, which means you won't have to spend extra money on a dedicated sound card for top-quality audio playback. The motherboard also includes five analog audio outputs and two S/PDIF digital audio outputs (coaxial and optical) with Realtek ALC889, so you can use your favorite speakers. A Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet connection is also included for high-speed connections to the Internet.

Review: Great Motherboard - First off their is no IDE or PS/2 connections so be ready for that. After I got everything in my computer put together and ready to go I went to plug in my keyboard and it was usb only. So just find yourself an a adapter or get yourself a new keyboard. The price of DDR3 is cheap so its not so much a big deal to invest in. There is one PCI slot and now with the newer BIOS update its SLI compatible which is great since when I read the description it says that its only Crossfire ready. If you want to go with something beyond two way SLI than you may want to go with the EVGA model which has more DIMM slots as well. I was going to go with EVGA but my new case would not allow it and I don't have the budget for three cards. I like the way the board is situated with DIMM slots running vertical and looks like everything is closer to the processor than on other boards I have seen. I guess when everything is moving at light speed a smallest measurement closer makes a difference on a motherboard. Install is a cinch just make sure you take your time and don't rush and make a stupid mistake. I have found that in my experience I mess up on stupid things instead of something big. Overclocking has been a little more simplified on this board which is what you should probably do if you invest in these boards. Overall this board has everything that I need with lots of SATA and USB ports and its super fast with my i7 920 along with my 6 Gigs of Corsair Dominator DDR3. All I can say is I can't wait to get my hands into some overclocking when I get the free time. Keep in mind only 64 bit Vista will see anything above about 3 and a half gigs so if you don't want 64 than just be ready not to see what you put in. One minor issue is the setup of the PCI Express slots since I have an 8800 GTS (one of the fatties) and a Creative X-Fi sound card it doesn't leave room for another 8800 GTS without me having to remove my sound card. Its not that big of an issue though since I plan on getting a smaller newer card anyways. Though if you have a fat card like me and something in the PCI slot and want to run SLI you might run into trouble so that is worth noting in my mind. Is this board worth it though I would have to say absolutely yes. According to Intel sticking in a fourth stick will cause a degrade in performance so since most ram that's DDR3 come in three packs its not so much a big deal. Also when it first came on and I entered BIOS everything was recognized but I could not get the thing to boot my ROM drive and it would just sit there with a black screen and then it would ask me to select cd drive type 1 or 2. After about three hours or so it all of a sudden worked after I selected 1 it booted finally and everything was installed (operating system). The next problem was it would not restart and as soon as my computer would go off and come on again it would be a black screen going nowhere. Then I remembered update your BIOS dummy and I read all the notes and a lot of issues I had was fixed in the BIOS update including my restart problem. There was an issue also with my type of ROM drive not booting when put first in priority and that is the issue I had with trying to get it to boot to install my operating system. Now everything runs perfect and I could not be happier. The reason I put all this in my review was it did not go as smooth as I thought it would and someone else might have problems. If you do have issues just drop me a comment and maybe I can help you out just from what I had to do.
Review: Great performance and it has almost all you need. - I bought this motherboard to use it with an Intel i7 950 processor. I bundled it with 16GB of RAM from Corsair and I am very happy with it. So far, just 2 weeks, it runs very fast with Windows 7 and Pinnacle Studio for A/V editing. Setting up the motherboard is easy. Make sure you connect all the power plugs required as specified in the setup instructions card. It also has one installation screw less than my previous Intel motherboard, so be careful to remove the post from the case before setting the motherboard down. This motherboard only has 1 PCI slot. This PCI slot will be very close to your video card if you got a two slots wide model. I had problems installing a PCI IDE controller (it likely is too slow for this application). I decided to remove the older ATA/133 hard drives I had, but if you need to keep your ATA hard drives, consider getting a PCIe compatible card or IDE-to-SATA adapters for each one of them. Be aware that the the DX58SO motherboard has the memory "above" the processor (above in my case refers to the top of the mid-tower I installed it in). So if you are thinking about buying an alternate cooling system for your processor (like the Cooler Master V8), you may not be able to install a memory fan kit properly (like the Corsair airflow fan system).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a Good moBo. but...
*by D***J on November 11, 2010*

This is a good mother board for the average user. It works VERY nice is simple and good for any one building a new computer. The audio is WAY better than most. It has HD audio and plenty of USB bays and will support a USB 3.0 card. I am using this one currently in an Antec 902 case, intel i7 930, XFX ATI Radeon 5850 and corsair 650W power unit. Together they work very well. I am impressed and would recomend this MoBo. Intel did a good job on this mobo. BUT... While you can over clock your CPU, RAM and GPU you cant overclock them too much. THis MoBo isnt built for EXTREME overclocking but you can overclock them some. For my CPU I went from a 2.8 to a 3.33 with no proble. Any higher the PC wont work. If you want to have a MoBo that you can overclock your CPU to unbelieveable hights this one isnt it. But If you want one that works very well and allows you some overclocking then this is it. Other than that issue i love it. I use it mainly for Photography and some gaming.
