Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice heat sinks on board, Bios has tons of great features, put it all together and it worked fine with no problems!
Cons: Sata ports, hate it when they face the side and not face upward makes plugging things in a real pain in the but.

Only complaint....
Other Thoughts: Great to use with a phenom II 940

AMAZING System Board

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Smooth install, tons of options, plenty of room to work. The power switch integrated onto the mobo is an awesome idea! Saves a ton of time when testing a system during the build. I have built two systems with this board, soon to be three, and I have had no issues whatsoever. Overclocking software is pretty cut & dry, and it works very well. Do not question the purchase of this mobo, you will not be disappointed!
Cons: original drivers were a bit dated.
Other Thoughts: grab latest drivers from asus usa.
