SLI Enabled

Good documentation, good price for SLI board, very easy overclocking menu, essentially everything.

None as far as I'm concerned

My setup did not require an SLI bridge to use SLI (which is good because the mobo does not come with one). Make sure you get the proper drivers from nvidia. The first time I downloaded them, I accidentally got the XP 64 bit package and couldn't understand why the nvidia control panel would not open.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Good, but HOT!

Great price and features! Loaded up first shot and has everything I needed.

The chipset cooling is in adequate. I had to purchase after market products to get the IOH chipset to a reasonable temp. At idle the chipset was hovering around 68c and the chipset is only rated to handle 80c!

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty it's a decent board. For the horrible cooling i'll take 2 eggs away.
