Cons: mATX
Pros: USB3, Sata3, quality, core unlocker Comment:
Just picked up this board, hadn't gone with Asus in awhile - not since they used garbage chipset fans... anyway, I had been buying gigabyte lately- no complaints, saw this board and paired it up with a quad 925 cpu and 4gb of cheap ram and what a great little system for $400. easy setup. has the core unlocker feature, guess you could get an x3 and turn it into an x4. box says it supports an x6 and at first I thouth who would put an x6 in this? overkill? no, it is a quality board with lots of connectivity - 6 sata's, usb3 and at just under $100 pm'd, I think a good buy. |

Cons: None thus far.
Pros: Lots of features, solid capacitors. ASUS quality. Comment:
A great board for the price, paired with a 955 BE and 8GB Mushkin Silverline. SATA 6 is a nice feature, although I am using a Corsair F60 which is only SATA 3. USB 3.0 is a beautiful thing, but only after updating the Renesas drivers AND firmware. Before the firmware update the speed was nearly the same as USB 2.0, now it positively flies!I use ASUS almost exclusively and have never had an RMA or outright failure. I can't say the same for MSI. |

Cons:
i guess Asus AMD mini/micro ATX boards only support Hybird-CrossFire(means only 1PCIE*16 GPU + 1onboard GPU)
Pros: only few dollars higher than MS or Gig boards,but much better quality guanranteed Comment:
was looking for crossfire supported AMD-m-ATX,but found out only gig or MS make those boards. Asus only do hybird-crossfire for its AMD-m-ATX boards.but guess its good enough for my budge gaming. since if i need more boost i'll just get a better card instead of 2 low end ones.good board with G.Skill ram |

None
Pros: SATA 6 / USB 3Ports, Ports, PortsLooks Good Too! Comment:
Another great mATX from Asus. Price matched to $100 it's unbeatable for USB 3, SATA 6, HDMI out for htpc, 880 chipset, etc. Built up with 4 gig of G Skill DDR3 1600, and an AMD Athlon 2 X4 640 this made a kick-a$$ desktop for under $400. Runs Win 7 perfectly on a 24" monitor. |

Cons:
Some of the bigger heat sinks will block the RAM slot
Pros: Small, built-in graphics card, HDMI, 6 sata, ez-flash, usb 3 Comment:
Great little board with a lot of features. I bought this for the purpose of a file server/htpc thanks to the built in HDMI. USB 3 is great for future proofing. Also comes with 6 sata ports. EZ-flash makings upgrading BIOS a breeze.The location of the IDE port is great as I can use it for my DVD-RW without the power connector being in the way. This will free up a SATA port for another hard drive. |

Cons:
No USB 3.0 Header for front panels
Pros: Excellent features for a mATX board Comment:
I bought this board for an HTPC build and it is GREAT! This board has nearly equal features to some ATX sized boards - all packed into mATX size. Installation was a breeze and I was up and running without any issue. Been using ASUS since I started doing PC builds and they've always exceeded expectations! |

Pros: SATA3, USB3.0, DDR3 Planty of features for mATX board Comment:
This is a great low budget motherboard and works awesome in an HTPC machine hooked up to a 50 plasma tv. Paired with G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL and AMD Athlon II X4 640 running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64BIT with out a hitch. |

None to me.

Cons:
mATX form factor
Pros: Wide range of features. Comment:
This board was one of the first that I found on NCIX with USB3.0 and SATA6 from Asus. The setup that I currently have has benefited from the MekOK! feature as I have two brands of memory on board. The HDMI output is really great to have. The only problem with this microboard is that it can't run multiple vga cards. |
Amazing mATX motherboard, with so many features, and cheap! This board has been tailored for AMD users, and it pays off. This board is great for the low-mid ranged gamers, or anyone who wants the most bang for their buck.
