Wow!! This board is truely amazing! Easy to install, setup was a breeze! So much OC software with so many tweaks you wont believe. In my eyes asus has taken the trophy on this board. Runs everything smooth and quiet. Looks good to in the dark with the lights on the board its self. Your CPU & RAM have their own special lights on this board to tell you how much power your pushing your system. Just amazing thinking done by ASUS. I would highly recommend this to anyone! |

Cons: Lot of stability issues with DDR3. The overclocking software included is pointless, most people prefer a manual option.
Pros: The board looks cool and has lots of Bios options. Very easy to update Bios. Comment:
Not too happy with this board. I'm getting constant BSOD's with memory warnings, but it's not the memory itself. I've used four different memory sticks and they all have their own quirks, even if they pass Memtest. Dual channel is impossible, and my board exibits cold boot issues and others on the Asus forum are having the same problem. Think my board is a dud and I'll need to RMA to Asus since I'm past the 30 days.I would have rated 1 star, but this rating system kept saying my order number was invalid, and I tried every number on my receipt :( |

This board is just amazing, overclocks like a champ. Currently have a i7 860 at 3.6ghz and running perfectly. There are so many tweaks in the bios for this board its unreal. And the software included makes overclocking easy even if you have zero experience overclocking. Might want to take the time to read the manual as there are too many features to cover here, or in most reviews. Zero complaints, close to perfect as you can get. |

I've owned a couple ASUS boards and this one is by far the best I've owned. Plently of ports and tons of versatility. Software included is very user friendly and works well to OC the board. It's pretty expensive compared to other boards but you get what you pay for here. |

Cons: None yet
Pros: setup is a breeze, overclocking is a walk in the park, board runs extremely cool Comment:
With in 4 hours I had my i7-860 running at 4.2GHz stable, this board is a beast. Anything you toss at it it smiles and ask's for more. Comming from a socket 775 the bios was a little over whelming at first but once you learn the new bios language its a easy go. The ROG connect switch allows for overclocking in real time, you can connect a laptop or another PC to the board and overclock without rebooting.I cant say anything bad about this board, Asus has done ther homework this time around. |

Great motherboard, overclocks like a charm.Has my i5 750 at 4ghz with no troubles at all. Updating the bios brought my cpu temps from 45 to 35, so I would recommend that to everyone.Looks good, is nice to have onboard on/off restart buttons when working on the board.Has tons of features I have yet to try!
