WOULDNT Actually KNOW!!!!!!! bought this board and cpu combo. got a x6 six-core AMD. according to the newegg site this board supporded DDR3 1333 and DDR3 1066. bought 8 gigs ƒ X 4gig)...my computer system would not start. immediately after many hours of cursing and reading the manual over and over once again it turned out that the 1066 ram i purchased...will can go any larger then 2 gig sticks. but on 1333 it ill help up to a eight gig stick. isnt this some thing that ought to be posted?!?!?! board nevertheless sounds promising. cant wait to get in new ram and test this baby out!!

Wonderful price tag, SATA 6Gb/s and USB three.. Lots of USB ports and expandable to far more. Good expandability. Layout is questionable. In order to run just one particular graphics card, you need to run the bottom slot and have a spacer card (for lack of a better word) in the other slot. That gives you x16 on your one particular card, but if you don't place that card in or if you run crossfire you can only get x8. The "spacer card" is offered.Obtaining to use the bottom ports can lead to some wiring headaches. Many plugins are all along the bottom of the board, so if you have a big graphics card, watch out.

Fantastic instructions, effortless to install began correct up. Replaced an old 939 Pin MB that died, never ever replaced a MB prior to. Once again, it was effortless and no challenges at all. None at this time.

A Extremely Fantastic MOTHERBOARD NOT Too High priced. NOT Locate Anything Bad However.

Good board no challenges so far! None

Slow POST. As in noticeably slower than prior ASUS motherboards I have owned.Accepted the AMD 1100T processor without having a hitch along with the Mushkin memory. None truly. This motherboard has a lot of characteristics in the BIOS you can function via if you like tweaking.

Boot time is a small slow, I can deal with it even though. One particular of the greatest boards I've owned.

Don't count on to obtain a 955 processor and overclock it to an 1100T with out major troubles. Stock settings are fine for each day use. Overclocked my CPU a little bit, triggered it to go well above 50C. I extremely suggest not messing with any settings unless you know what you are doing; you could burn this thing up in a second with the quantity of manage you have. Only overclock if you are experienced and you should have no troubles at all.No BSODs, USB, Memory, CPU troubles at all. Great, so pleased with my investment. ALSO, purchase memory suggested for your board, not some knockoff brand and it'll boot up fine. Lookup the manual on the net to see what memory is supported for the board.

Tons of bios functions (as to be anticipated with ASUS boards), good expandability and stable in OS overclocking tools are good. As many five star ratings as I've seen this board get, i can't believe there are not additional complaints on the boot time! This board posts incredibly slow... in reality its the slowest posting/booting board I've ever owned ASUS or not. I tinkered with multiple settings and I've updated to the latest CMOS but to no avail. Sometimes it will take a complete eight-10 seconds prior to I even see a post splash screen! I suppose for some this is a minor situation, but when you are seeking to get the most performance out of your machine it feels like a genuine kick in between the legs to drop 赨 on a good SSD and being able to boot into windows faster than your motherboard can post. :(

SATA 6G, USB three., HDMI. The passive chipset cooler is considerably much more sturdy than the cooler that came on my Gigabyte AM3 mainboard. EATX12V connector is quite tall to clear the MOSFET heatsink. Although not necessarily a con, it does make the connector feel a bit flimsy. Had some difficulties with my initial boards, that turned out to be my PSU failing. Extremely poor timing on my (or my PSU's) element.

Wonderful capabilities on spec sheet. Haven't tested any given that motherboard got damaged in shipping. I received Motherboard with bend corner. It was poorly packaged and ups is becoming blamed by newegg. The box motherboard was shipped in, not robust adequate to defend contents. Now I have all computer components and have to wait two weeks to get a replacement motherboard. There appears to be problems packaging and sending items by newegg. I have under no circumstances had any concerns with the other on-line giant. Newegg also place heavy energy provide on top of 赼 CPU in the box and it almost got crushed in shipping. The CPU tower box looked like it went by way of a war zone. Luckily the pricey coolermaster minitower wasn't damaged. I'm extremely disappointed by the whole expertise. I'll be looking at buying in retail shops or other online retailers in future.

Same as last post Identical as last post Just posting in reply to compuwsrd's post about the realtek onboard NIC. I ended up installing Windows 7 Pro on my build and I couldn't use my Linksys wireless USB NIC so I installed the drivers offered for the Realtek and as soon as I plugged in the cable windows detected by network and I was on the Internet. Have no problem employing onboard NIC and I am also making use of on-board sound card till my X-FI titanium arrives at the end of the week. Played Borderlands on Computer just fine, needed to reduced resolution to 1280x1060 but I'm suing the Radeon 4290 on-board chip. This motherboard with all the features and on-board options is fantastic for building or testing, have had no difficulties at all and would hugely advise this board to any person.

Has All S.A.T.A three., six.. Nonetheless has IDE helpUSB two., 3.Many OC choices in BIOS (expected from ASUS)Good Build in graphics, Plus Hybrid technology to function alongside your graphics card. Slow to Postthe S.A.T.A ports are to close to the PCIEx16 slot and therefore placing in a major graphics card makes it a tight cable method. Its a good motherboard for a heavy OC person or just an easy upgrade from any old Computer given that it nonetheless supports IDE and 1066 RAM (only con from that upgrade is that it only supports AM3 Socket)

Comment:
Fantastic board, simply capable to unlock the other two cores of my Phenom II 555 processor. I have no cons about this board at all. Only thing I have not been in a position to do is get the front LED lights for energy & HD activity to work, I know its almost certainly something I'm over seeking but if anyone knows something please feel totally free to post or send me a message.

SATA three, USB 3, Overclocks nicely The layout for the PCIe 16x slots is moronic at ideal. I would of never ever of purchased it if I had recognized that in contrast to just about every other motherboard on the planet this a single has the main 16x slot in the middle of the board so my 6870 is rubbing suitable up against the SATA connecters. If I had identified this i would of just purchased the ASUS 890FX board... If your going to be using a tiny reduce end card or the built in one particular this is best for your use but if you going to be running a mid-higher end card like the 6800 series don't bother buying this board get the 890fx or a diverse brands board with a much less moronic layout.

Operates flawlessly with G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL.I'm operating 16GB at 1600 no dilemma.Function set & computer software are So cool! This was my very first make. Overclocking my X61090T black up to four.2GHz was enjoyable & effortless. If you get skeered you can return the program back to normal with the click of a mouse. I can see exactly where MemOK can be extremely beneficial though I had no isssues myself. Turbo important lets u assign a important mixture for a preset overclocked mode for max. performance when video processing or energy saving functionality when just surfing the web. Mine shipped with Bios version 1703 so I had no front panel connection difficulties.Accepted Coolmaster Gemini II S heatsink & Memory with substantial heatsinks with minor mods. IE: had to turn heatsink around to heatpipes had been on opposite side of memory Dimms. The owner's manual is uncomplicated to realize. None. Do your study & get familiar with some of the quirks of this board like the front panel connection concern. Easy repair with Bios update. Get an SSD for your OS & other components to take advantage of this MOBO's capabilities. Like I mentioned this was my first create & Newegg created it an definitely hasslefree practical experience. ASUS took it more than the top rated. Fan management, overclocking, CPU & memory monitoring are accomplished through Windows & seem on the process bar. It's so uncomplicated, as soon as you fiddle with it & get Computer Probe,Ai Suite, Fan specialist,EPU, & the realtek audio manager set up.

MemOK, and other simple features with 1 button to make it occur. Lots of tools on the disk. None that I noticed. I haven't had the USB issues anybody else has, I don't know if ASUS fixed it, or I got fortunate.

Overclocking is easy, and I was capable to very easily get my 8 Gigs ƒ x 4 GB) Patriot Viper Extreme 2000 Mhz RAM operating at complete speed with just a couple of tweaks in the bios. Operating a Phenom II x6 1100T at three.75 Ghz very easily, strategy on tweaking it up to four Ghz soon.I have 4 160 Gig Seagate Sata 3 difficult drives in a 4 drive RAID zero configuration not as very good as having a SSD but it is an improvement from a single difficult drive. WEI with a single drive was five.9 with the four disk RAID it improved to 6.three and is definitely a noticeable improvement in information transfer and method response and boot time. Exactly where to begin? I began out with problems finding the RAID set up, and I was wrong in my last critique about getting solved it the way I mentioned I did. The RAID was seriously quirky immediately after being set up and would not constantly boot soon after restarting. I also ran into the challenge other people have noted about the front usb ports from time to time causing technique lock up and or shut down when you plugged anything in to them. Following spending days attempting to steer clear of having to return this board back to another on-line outlet I purchased it from(newegg was out of stock at the time) I realized the supply of this board's problem was the on board Graphics. Although the quality of the graphics was excellent for an on board set up but after I disabled it in the bios and uninstalled all the associated AMD/ATI drivers/software and installed a affordable video board I had lying around everything became stable and the technique restarts and boots just about every time with no issues. Also I haven't had an problem with the Front USB ports since then either. The only bug or quirk I have still noticed due to the fact solving the majority of the issues and quirks this board has is that there is an annoying hiss of static more than the audio channel when shutting the system down for like 5 seconds. I feel I can live with that.I wouldn't advise this board to any person specifically these arranging on setting up RAID and employing the on board Graphics. I have a need for speed but I don't need to have crazy graphics so that is why I bought this board in the very first place to save the expense of getting a separate graphics card.

USB three eSata DDR3AM3 socketCrazy amounts of on-board USB slots plus expandable to several moreEasy operationRelatively straightforward highly adjustable BIOS settingsFantastic on-board GPUI could go on No updated QVL for RAM or for devices This MB is Great. I am sorry to hear that so a lot of folks are having challenges with it. I did have some troubles adjusting the RAM at first but I easily reset the BIOS settings (CMOS reset) and I basically rebooted. I love the small POST diodes that inform you what is wrong. I quickly knew what was incorrect and worked to resolve the concern. I would advise this board to every person. As for graphics it can't actually deal with shadows well. I played WoW on ultimate settings with realistic water and ultimate shadows and had to turn down shadows and water becasue of some tearing but I still had about 30 FPSI am operating it with a unlocked AMD II X2 555 Black Edition (unlocked to x4 using the MB) and a couple sticks of G.Talent Ripjaws ƒ x 2GB) DDR3 1600. In BIOS you require to tell the MB to use the RAM at a 1600 setting even though (seems to be common process everywhere)Quite PLEASED SO FAR GET IT.

Good price, wonderful overall performance, and wonderful stability, specifically what you anticipate from ASUS. Paired this board with the 1090T black edition, 8GB of Corsair XMS 1600, XFX 6950 1GB and an antec 750watt power supply and this machine has been rock steady. No BSOD, no locks, no restarts, does what it is supposed to. None as of yet. I have had some poor luck with Asus chipset fans failing on previous motherboards, I am glad that this one is passively cooled...

Comment:
Good Board with all the fantastic functions. I should have stayed away from this board as recommended by numerous others on ASUS forums and here at newegg. This MOBo has a design flaw with the onboard USB ports for the front panel. Each and every time I attempted to use a usb flash drive, computer would freeze/reboot. If you don't plan to use front panel I/O ports, go for it.

Comment:
* as well a wide range of to list * ASUS has me so loyal to them I have no notion how their competitors compares Initial an A7V, later an A7V8X-X, and now this beast. It taught me how to overclock. The AMD chipset is impressive, in particular the 4290 video portion, which gives me time to plan any future GPU upgrades. The multi phase power circuitry gives me peace of thoughts, which is relatively valuable to me.

Comment:
USB 3., SATA three Ɩ.), and each and every other choice you could ask for. The whole make went with each other without having a hiccup. Strong drivers, except the one important problems in which I'm guessing could be fixed with a BIOS update if ASUS ever listened to their client complaints. As every person has pointed out, the front USB issue that is seemingly becoming ignored by ASUS to repair. When you plug specific devices in it seems to place the personal computer in a suspend/sleep mode if you will, but won't come back out of it till you reboot, then on reboot BIOS says that overclocking failed and wants you to either enter BIOS or carry on with boot. If it wasn't for that, it'd be a rock strong and rapidly motherboard! The new RAM slots are actually goofy, but workable, not also a lot of a con I guess. As of proper now, I'm not recommending this board to any person simply because of the USB dilemma. It's a major hiccup that ought to've kept the board from ever being released in my opinion. Hopefully ASUS will retain their clients happy by figuring this problem out prior to I completely lose hope in their prior customer practical experience/support.
