Best AM3 MB Hands Down:)
05/27/2010
This review is from: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
Future Proof, Extremely Stable, well built, looks awesome in my Haf 932 Red Case. I have used Gigabyte, MSI, Biostar, & DFI for other AMD builds & this is by far the best board for AM3 system. I have my AMD six core BE 1090T overclocked at 3.95GHz Rock stable, with over 10 hours all six cores tested 100% in a 80F room in Florida, USA using prime 95. Can also run at 4.25 GHZ just running Windows 7 64 Ultimate without cores being fully stressed. The board has excellent features, and the bios updated very easily. Asus comes with Turbo V software that lets you overclock in windows in real time, Really cool. There is over voltage protection warnings if set up in bios correctly, plus Asus has plently of software goodies like the AI Suite to monitor CPU Speed & voltage in real time. Came with the best handbook I ever read. Buy One, Just get it already!! And there are leds that change color when monitor voltages in specific spots, they can be turned off in the bios individually.
Cons:
None So Far!
