Is the intel DX58SO good?

[lt_dan_zsu]

My old motherboard broke and now I am looking for a new one. I have found a new one for auction on ebay. It is the intel DX58SO. I think this motherboard looks good. The seller told me that it has a three year warranty that began in July. The board has 4 stars on Newegg but there are a decent amount of 1 stars for the board. So can I trust that this board is reliable or is it not good?

Its a decent mobo. Intel makes good quality.

K. Thanks. I a little sad because it's a downgrade from my last board but it's only in places it doesn't matter. I'm fine though as long as it's reliable

That's what's known about the Intel, stability and quality mobos.

The market is small for your CPU these days.

Yeah Ik. That's why I have to get it on ebay. I wish I could get it off of Newegg, but that's not gonna happen unfortunately.

Hopefully its the last mobo that u will buy for that socket : )

Yeah I'm hoping I can get the next socket that intel comes out with. I'm pretty sure they are making a new socket next year. I'm hoping I can make this one last me at least two.
