Cons: Missing features from the CH3

Pros: Fast, lots of room, nice design
Comment:
I loved my Crosshair III motherboard for many years and this seemed like a logical choice when purchasing a new build. I am happy with the features and the design of the build. Very glad they got rid of the strange packaged sound cards and built it into the design of the board. The only feature missing that I loved from the III was the LED indicators for temperature on the MB next to the fan imports.

Cons: -(Not THAT important but...) no dual ethernet ports.

Pros: -Amazing bios (well... UEFI).-Amazing overclocking abilities.-Great support.-very good power management.-Overclocking is a breeze.-Comes with a cool ROG crossfire and SLI bridge-SupremeFXIII audio card for great audio.
Comment:
Originally I expected to open the box and a ton of things would pop out if it (knowing asus with their ROG products) but it was subtle, an easy unboxing including what you need and a little bit of fancy things. It comes with good drivers and an above great audio driver. This is the best AMD motherboard I've ever owned/seen.

Cons: The area around the CPU socket is quite tight. No Fan Xpert2

Pros: Tons of features, solid build quality
Comment:
It's an amazing board, and quite possible the best 990FX board on the market. I do love the software it comes with, however I hate how ASUS does not update  it. Mainly with Fan Xpert and Fan Xpert2

Cons: Fan control is okay but not great, three of the six non cpu fan mounts are not controllable without external thermometers and extra adapters. (Speedfan works much better than the asus software but like that software it can only control the cpu fans and three of the six other fan headers) The three adjustable fan headers are all adjusted with one control, severely limiting the usefulness of multiple fan headers. Included software is slow, clunky and way over stylized to no benefit.

Pros: Well laid out. Beautiful. OC's very well. Tons of tweaking options. Lots of fan mounts.
Comment:
Great motherboard with tons of tweaking and OC'ing options to play with. Overclocks like a freaking champion. Two cpu, three controllable (not individually), and three extra fan mounts.
