5 out of 5 eggsGreat motherboard!

Pros: This motherboard has the ability to host four ATI videocards in Crossfire mode. It also supports AM3 AMD processors and up to 16 GB of DDR2 memory.

Cons: If you are using a SATA hard drive with this motherboard, do not jumper it in any way, shape, or form or you will receive an error concerning the drive during POST.

Other Thoughts: None. I purchased this motherboard off of an online auction site and it was hardly used by the previous owner as he never finished his computer build with it.

5 out of 5 eggsI like ASUS

Pros: My build using this board was easy. Everything worked the first time. I've been running this board for just over 7 months now with no problems. This is my second ASUS board that I have ever used, and my experience with both have been great.

Cons: If you use the 1066 memory, you have to manually set the BIOS to make it work properly. I had to do a little reading to understand what settings I should use. I like to plug and play, so that was a little annoying.

Other Thoughts: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz processor
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked Edition
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066
Power Supply: XIGMATEK MC NRP-MC851 850W modular PS
Hard Drive: WD Caviar Green WD5000AADS 500GB
Operating System: XP Home
DVD Burner: Lite-On 24X Model: IHAS124-04

4 out of 5 eggsGreat Board, Easy build.

Pros: I have nothing bad to say about the board. Fired up first time w/ Win7.

Cons: I knocked off 1 egg because the enclosed CD and utilities were not up to date (the loader identified the OS as MCE and wouldn't go any further) ASUS support refused to ship out an updated CD. OK, a minor anoience but for 180$ american they could afford a stamp.

4 out of 5 eggsoverall good product

Pros: tons of features, and OCability...holds lots of RAM and 4gpu's

Cons: for the people having boot and lock up issues. i had probs also..no signal, or mode not supported on startup...also the fans just running full blast for minutes....the auto settings in your bios do not set right. my cpu and ram voltages were too high with auto on...i had to manually set cpu to 1.3125volts and my ram manually to 1.8 volts...no more boot issues

Other Thoughts: i do get display driver crashes with my 5770 with up to date drivers. i dunno if its the drivers or the mobo...kinda iffy about spending $ on a new mobo and not resolving the issue

1 out of 5 eggsNO Drivers

Pros: 4 pci express, large heat sink, 4 fan headers

Cons: NO DRIVERS, if you have a 64-bit operating system don't get his motherboard the drivers dont come on the cd/dvd and the way to download them from asus is not in English

Other Thoughts: why no 64 drivers

1 out of 5 eggsTech support stinks

Pros: Runs great when it runs....

Cons: Board ran fine until it stopped booting up. It will start and go into BIOS but when you save & exit, it won't boot into Windows. It just sits there with the fans spinning. Have to then clear cmos and unplug PSU to get it to restart into BIOS again.

Other Thoughts: Explained in detail to tech support about this issue and twice I sent this board to them for REPLACEMENT and they returned the SAME board to me with nothing resolved!!!

5 out of 5 eggsBest Mobo so far

Pros: This board is really nice. Installed easily.

Cons: The bag of screws that came with it had no parts list so I have all these leftover screws that I don't really need but I would love to know what they are for.

Other Thoughts: Wifi would have been nice.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Motherboard

Pros: This board runs like it should. I have been buying Asus for a few years and have always been happy with the product I get from them. Newegg also rocks.

Cons: First board was DOA, but Newegg got another board out to me and it works fine no issues.
I won't even deduct an egg for the DOA board. This happens with every company you buy from. It just has to be made right.

Other Thoughts: I wish that Asus had put DDR3 and USB 3.0 on this board with the current CPU configurations. It would have made this board perfect for my situation.
