AWSOME!
Pros: great features, very stable, ultra durable!, fast....great looks too dual bios
Cons: the layout of the pcie 16 slots is a little odd but no big deal
Overall Review: I hvae a amd x4 955 in this board just until the new zambezi is out and i am very impressed. It took literally no time at all to get it overclocked to 4Ghz. All i had to do was increase the multiplier and the voltage a small amount and i was there and it is stable. Have run prime 95 for 18 hours without a problem and IntelBurn ran smoothly as well! Lot of people are making a big deal that it still uses BIOS and not a UEFI but i personally like the simplicity of the BIOS myself and even if i didnt I wouldnt see it as a con to the product....
Couldnt get it to post
Pros: Nice feature set. Nice build quality
Cons: could not get it to POST
Overall Review: I couldnt get this board to POST at all to save my life. The boards led status notifications said it was a problem with the ram. I tried clearing the CMOS, changing the ram from Kingston Genisis DDR3 to some from corsair. No success. I changed the sockets they were in, tried only using one stick....NOTHING. I finally gave up and looked on the asusrog.com forum and saw that there were others having the same problem so I am sending it back.
first diamond paste used
Pros: It seemed to set really fast. My temperatures are staying around where they should
Cons: none so far but i dont have the greates knowledge of thermal paste
Overall Review: I am very happy with this thermal paste and they give you a full tube...not just a small amount like so many other companies do. I am happy with this product but I am not sure how it compares to the competition
Pros: great job at cooling!
Cons: little hard to get on for the AM3 socket. Cut my fingers a few times trying to get it in there with the fins...
paired with amd 955
Pros: great build quality! Very solid, fast, couldnt be happier
Cons: heat spreader may get a little hotter than others but i havent noticed any problems at all.
Overall Review: works out great will buy again soon for father-in-laws computer
