This review is from: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
Very easy to set up and plenty of space to install everything. Fairly easy to overclock and extremely easy to flash your bios with the program included. I also like the boot sequence set up. A great board considering you can use fx cpus and i didn't even need to update the bios although i strongly reccommend just because it is always nice to have the latest updates.
Cons:
I am using the fx 6100 and you cannot change the cpu multiplier with it so instead when overclocking you must change the bus frequency which isn't really a huge problem but then when going extreme overclocking you will have to fool around with the voltages which always means lots of heat. I am not sure if it is just me but with my kingston hyper-x 2 8gb sticks i have issue changing the frequency's and tend to get overclock failure messages but i'm sure that can be resolved with some finer tweaking and voltage settings.
Overall Review:
Easy Bios, Helpful pre-installed programs such as the core unlocker and overclock utility not to mention the easy flash for bios.
