eVGA 141-BL-E757 intel x58 SLI LE was it worth the buy?

Just ordered this board
[S=eVGA board]http://[L=eVGA board[/url]

Saw some good positive reviews, hoping some one would fill me in, here on Anandtech, if this board is pretty alright, based from experience with the board or from other solid accurate sources.

is anyone using this board? or know anything about it other than what is on eVGA's website?

I'm using one, I haven't really pushed my system though as its summer and too hot w/ no A/C. but it tops out pretty much where the EVGA X58 SLI non LE does from what I've seen, and it looks cool only real issue I've had is the northbridge runs extremly hot, I'm trying to find a good solution for that but haven't really yet, might end up trying to replace the NB sink with something else, but overall I've been very happy.

edit: check the EVGA forums they have the bigest resouce on the X58 SLI LE that I've seen, not to may other places have to much info as the board was just released 3 months ago in May.

finally! =P thanks for the tip Arcanedeath! I was aware of eVGA's forums regarding the boards but just thought someone aside from myself would have the same board as me, on Anandtech.

you should have researched more (preferable on EVGA forums) before you have bought. just my advice. from what i've read, it's not a bad board. it's like the 'basic' of the evga models.

eyi526 - I have read about it, i was just curious to who would have the same board like me, here on Anandtech, and yes I had done my research, I basically wanted a basic x58 board for my new i7 rig
