Besides the little problem I had right here at the end of things, I would say Asus has made another fine board. There are only a few snags I ran into, yet again, like I did with the MSI 790GX. The main problem being RAM slots on the newer AM2+/AM3 boards are just way too close. If I wanted to use any kind of active cooling I would not be able to. Most newer boards on team Red are switching to strictly 16x/16x in a dual configuration that I've seen and this board is 8x/8x. I was trying to run SLI 280's and I'm a firm believer that even though it's on the PCI-E 2.0 bus it still bottlenecks a bit. Of course, I believe the processor is a bigger bottleneck but that's not for discussion here!
