| From our first look we can tell that the DX79SI really isn't a big deal. End users will definitely prefer products from ASUS, Gigabyte or MSI, where they get a lot more features. In fact, if you take the board out of its box, you see that there is something of every but nothing has been implemented consequently. There is a some "design", there is some "overclocking" and there are some "connectors". I looks like the engineers worked according to a checklist where they had to tick boxes what they taken care of and what not. | - Design | ||

Generally the Intel DX79SIs Layout has been very well thought. Once more practical are the angled SATA connectors as well as the power- and reset-buttons. There even is a debug display which is very useful in case you should have issues with a component in your system or the board itself. Furthermore there is another slot between ever PCI Express x16 slot which mean that one can easily setup a triple SLI configuration. Furthermore the last slot isn't a PCI Express x16 one. Therefore you'll be able to access the connectors at the bottom edge of the board even if you should choose to install a dual slot graphics card in the last PCI Express x16 expansion slot. |
