In short, this board is all you'll need. Do not hesitate...buy it now! And if you're still not sure...check out Tom's Hardware site.
However, once I installed the replacement, it functioned flawlessly (including the USB 3.0 onboard), and I've got my i7-3930K running at 4.2GHz, with 32GB of 2133 MHz RAM, H80 water-cooler, and assorted and sundry other goodies. It never goes above 70C degrees, even when running flat out (6 Cores x2 Hyper-Thread = 12 Cores @ 100% utilization) while recoding video for more than 2 hours at a clip. I've never been able to consistently maintain that type of heavy load on a board without some problems in the past. I'm sure that I could push this higher, but 4.2GHz is quite sufficient for me. Make sure you flash the BIOS to version 3101, it's the best version. Enjoy!
