Pros: 1. Great packaging 2. Great OC softwares and features on board. This is the first time I OC a CPU; on my first try, it is running 3.813GHz stable and only took me 1 min by using Asus ROG's Turbo V. All the ROG softwares are very easy to use. After a day's try all its OC softwares, I got to 4.025GHz stable. Also, ROG's overheat programs, COP EX and Loadline Calibration, really does its job to protect overheated CPU/MB. By the way, "Memory OK" button on the motherboard is extremely useful. For any reason, you can't boot up while OC'ing, just press the button. Everything will go back the original setting unless you set the OC profile in bio.

Cons: Absolutely NONE!!

Overall Review: AMD Phenom II X4 965 OC'ed 4.025GHz 4GB Corsair Dominator GT (OC 1600) 2 x Sapphire Vapor X OC HD4890 CrossfireX Corsair Hydro H50 ZALMAN VF1000 Scythe Musashi

Pros: 1. Great stability 2. Great MOSFET and chipset cooling heatsinks 3. Comprehensive accessories (seriously, it is more than enough.) 4. Great look!! Much better looking than my ASUS Striker 2 Extreme!!

Cons: 1. Definitely need to do heavy research and time on fully extending this mobo's capability.

Overall Review: Many people can't eve boot up the mobo; it happened to me too. I had 4 x 1GB Kingston HyperX 2000MHz memory originally; it did not boot. After I took out 3GB and placed 1 x 1GB 2000MHz, it did not boot up. Then, I use my slowest DDR3 memory, OCZ 667MHz, it booted up!!! Then, I immediately go to the bio to quickly change the memory/FSB settings to Linked, Sync and raised the FSB to 400MHz. Everything seems OK until I started to watch online movies; after 2 to 3 hrs of watching movies, it will crash. Then, I raised all default voltages to 1 level higher; everything has been fine since. Stability after OC is great! This board really wants you to OC it. Don't be afraid to raise any voltage level. During benching, I rarely faced blue screen; after each unsuccessful try, it will still boot up without problem. However, I did spent over a week on researching advices from many forums. After hours of testing and researching, I would just sum up: the mobo loves to be OC'ed!!
