Lots of Features and Easy to use and Easy over clocking

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

Lots of Features, Nice to look at, Easy to overclock. Over the years I've used ASUSTek Motherboards for the majority of my builds because they have been the most reliable and the warranty worked when I needed it.

For this build:
Asus Crosshair IV Formula
8GB Corsair XMS3 1333mhz RAM
AMD Phenom II X6 Six-Core Processor 1090T (3.2GHz) AM3, HDT90ZFBGRBOX (Black Edition)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler, RR-B10-212P-G1
HAF 922
Corsair Professional Series Gold High Performance 750-Watt Power Supply CMPSU-750AX
LightScribe DVD+/-R
MSI ATI Radeon HD6950 2 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/2x Mini DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card R6950 TWIN FROZR II/OC
Crucial Technology 128 GB Crucial RealSSD C300 Series Solid State Drive CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1
ASUS VE278Q 27-Inch LED Monitor
Windows 7 Ultimate 64

The overclocking was easy to 4.0Ghz from stock 3.2GHZ. The system detected the CPU, memory, and SSD drive without any problems. I did set the port hooked up to the SSD to AHCI The board was easy to install and I didn't have any problems with the memory and the bigger CPU cooler. I'm using the 6Gbs/s SATA interface with the C300 SSD. What was important when building this system was longevity. I can add another GPU or upgrade to the next gen CPU if the system needs more power when newer processors come out. In the rare event that applications need it, the memory can be expanded to 16GB. Lots of USB ports to handle all of my USB devices ~10 devices. I no longer need a USB hub.

The installation was a breeze after putting the computer together, loading up windows 7 was fast and then loaded the driver disk and I was online in < 45 minutes.

The only bad thing I can say about the board is that when using an oversized heatsink, choose a low profile memory stick or at least one without the tall memory heatsinks the 1st slot will be unusable.

On top of all the expandability, the motherboard looks sexy with the black and red color scheme.

Bottom line, The system is fast and sexy.

Very Nice MOBO!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

This motherboard is well built, but only for the diehard overclocker. Don't let me scare you away, but you must know what you are doing to set this thing up. For example - the bios will not recgnize you memory timing and voltages, you must set them through the bios on your own. Well Asus will walk you through it and their CSR' are very good at dealing with the customer. I was having a problem and could not figure it out. They sent me a second board to test for troubleshooting. It turns out that my old PSU as going and popped some capacitors. After installign the a new PSU (Ultra X4 1050 watt) all is well. I have my AMD 1090t chip water cooled and have had it overclocked from 3.0 GHz to 4.2Ghz stable. It took some research on the overclock sites to get the information on proper settings through the bios. Sure you can use the turbo software that comes with the board or AMD overdrive, but that is not true overclocking to me.

There has been concern over the NB and SB standoffs, but I am not having and heat issues as a result of that problem. I must have gotten lucky with that. Probe is the only program giving accurate reading on the temperatures, but some are saying even that is reading lower temps than what it should be. Right now mine is at 34C CPU, 32C MB, 44C NB and 41C SB. My Nvidia card was causing the NB and SB to heat up pretty bad until I downloaded Rivatuner and up'ed the fan speed.

The options on the board are absolutely ridiculous. You can overclock at the push of a buttong on the board, reset it, power it up and unlock the cores right from the board. For the tech type, it has the ability to test voltages right from the board. It has LED lights on each important part of the board that go from green to yellow to red for troubleshooting. Obviouly the CPU LED is always yellow when overclocking.

Beware, if you ask for a replacement, they will send you a used board!!! So either be prepared to fix the board your self if you have NB and SB heat issues or lump it with what they give you...

I definitely ecommend this product, but do your homework if you buy one. Be careful if your OC!!!

One important thing to note: this board is not meant for more then one Nvidia board. You can run multiple ATI Radeon cards but make sure you get the right cards to do so. I will be trading in my NVidia 260 Nvidia BE cards for 2 ATI Radeon 6850's thanks to XFX who helped me out on that one. I was also told not to bother going with a 3rd and fouth GPU because scaling goes down, but I am still curious what four GPUS all at x16 will do in this board.

I can tell you that I am loving the board, its capability and gaming has a whole new meaning after coming from the M2N SLI Deluxe.

Amazing MOBO for price relative to features...

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is an amazing MOBO for the features, specs, BIOS bonuses, and quality of manufacturing. AsusTek makes fantastic products and their ROG series is top notch. I too purchased this with the 965 Black edition and am nothing short of amazed and blown away by the capabilities of both. Given I am new to OC'ing this MOBO makes it so easy. The buttons are life savers (reset and auto OC, plus core unlocker). Seriously I do not see the advantage of Intel and the premium they charge. AMD makes exceptional products and given the cost savings I truly see AMD/ATI as the superior choice.

One interesting note is.... I pulled my HDD from my HP p6510f that has Win7 Home Premium; once the machine POSTed Windows failed to load, it would reboot and attempt to repair. After scouring the forums it appears that this is a pirate-prevention fail safe from MSFT. Given that the OS recognizes all of this new hardware as a new machine it prevents the OS boot due to hardware changes. I cannot recover using my system discs because it is not an "HP product". Thus I will need to purchase a new HDD and a copy of the Win 7 system build OEM. It is a small price to pay given how awesome this MOBO and CPU pair is.... But it is pertinent to those who wish to upgrade their MOBO on their machine.
