I got more than what I paid for....

Reviewed By: Game On on 2/8/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Let me overclock and unlock my x3 720 to an x4 @ 3.8Ghz. More features than you can think of, very nice layout, beautifull colors. ROG logo is nice n bright!!

Cons: n/a

Other Thoughts: I got this board for 189.99 when it was on special about 3 weeks ago. This board is worth more than what I paid for IMO, in other words I feel like I ripped ASUS off =) and that is a VERY good feeling....

Kudos to the Egg for the redonculous shipping !!!

Best Motherboard I Have Ever Owned

Reviewed By: on 2/8/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I have built many computers and for people and for myself. I consider Asus the best brand of a motherboard they always have BIOS updates throughout the life of there products. I use watercooling and was able to reach 3.9Ghz Prime95 Stable running corsair memory at 8Gig @ 1600 Mhz. Using Phenom II 965 @ stock 3.4Ghz. Best Motherboard and components I have ever owned. I prefered Nvidia chipsets but since Asus isnt releasing any very high end boards using nvidia chipsets. I decided togive AMD's chipsets a try. Now after using this board to GAME and being 100% stable while overclocked. I play MMO EQ2 might not be the most popular game but it rocks with this board.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If you are looking at this post buy this board I gurantee you will not be sorry.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This board has a great layout, Voltage and ROG LED's are a nice touch. This Board is an overclocker's dream with the Asus CPU level up feature for novice users and their Extreme Tweaker BIOS menu for advanced users.

Cons: The price point for this board is a little high and included driver and utility cd doesn't support 64 Win7. These can easily be downloaded from Asus support
