excellent motherboard!

This motherboard is first rate. The quality of manufacturing is immediately evident when you first take it out of the box. The BIOS setup is very sophisticated, but also easy to understand (with the aid of the well-written manual). There are also many leading-edge features on the M.B. to support the latest technology, such as the capability to use an installed solid state disk as a cache for a hard drive. I am very pleased with this board - so much so, that I will probably buy only ASUS motherboards from this point!

Fantastic!

Excellent MOBO with solid feel, extra fans on board barely make any noise. This board has plenty of fan headers and has enough expansion slots to suit most gaming needs. Will definately go with ASUS on my next build as well!
