Great motherboard. Bought with the AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1Ghz Black Edition AM3 CPU board unlocked the cpu and ran 4 cores. Great buy.

this mother board is great! I bought it for my first build (i'm 15)

This mobo is very bad. The features and the price are great, but neither of the two i ordered will boot wile the 4 pin cpu-fan connector is connected. i can still connect the cpu fan to cha-fan so it runs, but there is no way to control the fan speed. i also have to press f1 to ignore the hardware monitoring error every time it boots.

maxed out a 16 gb of RAM!!! Nice

This is my first dual core MB, and I bought it as part of upgrding my old kt600a system. The board was easy to install, easy to connect the case wiring to. What I found difficult was upgrading the bios and such without a hardwire connection to the internet. I have to use a wireless system so I added a wireless card, and only then was I able to upgrade the flash bios and software. The graphics are a little slow for any kind of serious gaming.

Asus is the best, haven't had a failure yet

I have been using this motherboard for about a month, and I love it :). lol I bought the bundle, which came with the CPU and man, this board is just amazing! Cant go wrong with Asus. Did a little overclocking.. an everything is just running smooth. Cool n Quiet, is a neat design. it works, but shut it off if you want full performance.

This board lives up to its rep and works great for the app I have employed it for.

Came as part of a kit, and worked great out of the box. Paired with a quad-core processor and 8gb of RAM, this baby smokes. The on-board video is weak, but its only temp till I can get a better video card for her.

I purchased this motherboard as part of a barebones kit and I am blown away by the performance of this board. I have been building PCs for over 15 years and the ASUS Motherboards with the Express Gate are the best I've ever owned. I am using it with an AMD Phenom chip and it is lightning fast and very stable.

I upgraded to the barebones system,and purchased a ultra x-wind cpu fan with adjustable speed.... WOW.... stays very cool and quiet. I bought another mobo for my wife's computer. NO problems,very happy so far!!!!

This board works great but remember when buying memory for this, you must install it as dual channel. I thought I could save some money upfront by buying only one stick and popping it in. The board started behaving erratically and went into recovery mode. Did not want to wait for shipping time, so ran out and got another identical stick. A lesson learned the hard way. Highly recommend board.

Works just as described. Only challenge was that I had to put my ram into blue1 and 2 instead of blue1 and black1. This board has been running nonstop for over two weeks straight with no probs. Great Deal

Comment:
First ASUS MB I have gotten, and wow, what a difference! Works well, unlocked the 3rd and 4th cores on my Phenom II x2 processor, stable, good drivers, nice board!

Great quality motherboard, all the soldier joints are clean and the connectors fit well. Has a lot of features that anyone would want on a motherboard. Great combination of manufacturers, I ran diagnostics on it with a software application. The combination did very well together. Overall great product.

Comment:
Has all the slots I need for RAM, USB and the HUGE fans for AMD chips fit well. My avg temps for this board are 35C.

Comment:
Easy to install and so far runs great!

Comment:
Easy to install. Runs almost the top CPU. overclockable memory. It does just about anything you could want it to. Great price, great value, great buy!

Comment:
this board was perfect for what i needed it for. got in a bundle with an athlon x4 620. i do some gaming and it works just fine. did not want to boot from a usb device but that isn't to big of a problem for me.

Comment:
like I say, if you are running xp,drivers present a problem unless you get the latest from the asus web site

Comment:
i'm very pleased thus far with the performance and features of this board. if i had a beef, it would be the lack of two ps2 ports for the mouse and keyboard, but that's really kind of minor considering the number of those devices that will also work fine with USB.

I built a gaming PC with my current PC setup. I liked the value and quality of the board and is easy to work with. Only one IDE connector which caused me to buy more components and make the switch to SATA. Would have been nice to have two so I could have had to option to keep my current components.

i have had it for over 2 weeks now, fired right up after install, running windows 7 with a 1 tb hard drive, amd phenom x4 9850 and 3 gbs of ram, very fast
