StarTrek Technology
- Pros: As stated in a video review (by whom I cant remember) This board is like something straight out of the bridge from startrek...
Seriously - who builds a desktop mobo w/ Built in Wi-Fi??? (and its decent Wi-Fi)
As far as quality this board is excellent - the MASSIVE heat pipes your seeing in the pictures are entierly for real and do a great job (currently running my q6600 at 3.0ghz w/ its stock fan- @ 34-40 C idle - no more than 54 w/ a load...) I was going to go w/ liquid cooling but at this rate the board's builtin heat pipes/sink does a great job...
On top of being a literally cool board - you can use ddr3 on it... I currently have 4gigs of patriot extreme performance ddr3 (1333mhz) ddr3 installed which (although some people seem to think it makes no difference using ddr3 as opposed to dd2) screams... very fast ram and only at the allowance of this board.(again more star trek technology..)
It has two pci-e x16 slots - apparently though im out of characters..this is a great
- Cons: THe first one that newegg shipped me was DOA. This however is expected when your dealing with thousands of these boards that all are made up of thousands of things that can go wrong.... it should be expected.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg was my saviour on this though - I had to have this mobo for my computer that I was building for my senior project - when i realize it was a dead board i called them and they next day'ed a new one too me for free... just in time to make the presentation that evening... (Ironically the first time i booted it up was at the presentation... I was scared sh*tless that something was going to go wrong. funny story really lol)
THANK YOU NEWEGG!!!
Great Motherboard
- Pros: The board is solid and well crafted. I liked the manual. Everything about the BIOS, built-in HW options, heat sink conduit fans for chips that get hot near the CPU, say PLEASE over clock me! The auto instal of drivers in Vista went smoothly, even through the automatic reboots. I had a series of reboots initially when I put it in the case and found out from Asus tech support that it was the mounting bolts. I called 2 other times. All three calls had me on the phone with a live Asus tech within 1-2 minutes. Even when they escalated me, it took less than 1/2 a minute to switch me over to a live person. This is about my 30th build of a custom computer. I really liked the 6 SATA 3.0 GB slots, the 6 built-in USB with board plug-ins for 4 more, 4 memory slots configurable for dual channel or not, 4 chasis fan plug-ins.
- Cons: Came with two 1gb ASUS 1333 DDR3 in the box! not sure if that is standard. I bought it from someone else other than newegg. I had unknowingly bought 2 1bg corsair DDR3 memory cards. Now have 4 gig, except that Vista shows memory as 3326 mb and not 4 gig. one reviewer wrote that they saw 3gb so they were not fully truthful. Well, the bios shows 4gig so I know I put them in right. I guess one does really need to consider 2gb memory cards. I don't mind all that much as the first 2gb were included anyway.
- Other Thoughts: I was happy ordering this motherboard but after reading more and more reviews I was getting terrible buyers remorse. I truly thought I had done my homework in getting a board that met my needs for the right price. After getting it up and running and reading hundreds of reviews on other boards, I really think that I made the right choice despite the CONs I found and read from others. I'm not willing to spend another $1000 to get the best. I believe the rig I've made is at about a 8.5 of 10 for what $1000 more could have got me. I'm a server, network, technology infrastructure IT Director and I do DVD video creations, play high end games. I'm happy with this.

Not a huge fan of this motherboard
- Pros: It's got a lot of cool features. I like the fact that it has two NICs. Some people may consider the wifi to be a good feature.
- Cons: My 8800 GTS blocks three of the six SATA connections. They include 'L' shaped SATA cables, but those cables block two of the other connectors, so I'm stuck with four connectors for five SATA drives. The included software is poorly designed and buggy. I've had numerous times where all of Asus' download servers are full and I cannot download drivers/patches/etc. That's pretty ridiculous for a modern-day technology company.
- Other Thoughts: DDR3 is a pain in the neck to stabilize. Especially, it would seem, when running Vista x64. In retrospect I wish I had purchased a DDR2 Intel board instead.
