junk
- Pros: utilizes ddr3, lots of options, looks cool, water ready, supports crossfireX
- Cons: locks up a lot, doesn't like several different kinds of ram, once it shuts off it wont let you turn it back on for about an hour, lots of other problems(see asus forums)
- Other Thoughts: i bought two of these because i was going to build two pc's. same problems with both boards. i've tried swapping out everything but the processor(which is fairly new), so it's definitely the board.
I'm definitely contacting ASUS and trying to get a different board that supports crossfireX
Cooling setup
- Pros: Good board. Had some issues with corrupt data if you don't hook up water cooling to Fusion block
- Cons: Get rid of the plastic couplers for tubing, especially the 1/2 to 3/8 reducers. They fall apart after a few days. Get nylon reducers at ACE or Home Depot, get decent hose clamps and you won't have any leaks.
- Other Thoughts: Using Swiftech cooling system. Runs cool and very quiet with this board and temp sensors let you choose where to monitor. LCD probe is worthless.
blame vista
- Pros: i got the motherboard in december running quad6600 cpu and dual 3870 vidio cards and 2 gig cosair ddr3
ran great for 6 months no problem with vista64
added 4 gig patriot ddr3 had problems flashed bios
easy worked great untill auto upgrade vista
- Cons: vista sp upgrades will screw up mobo
- Other Thoughts: beware of microsoft if you allow vista to upgrade the system will not boot the only fix thjat i found is to reinstall the vista and not allow it to upgrade and the system is stable and works great.
