Great board, I've had it for around 2 years. I bought it as I read it was a solid board, and the RD580 was known to overclock well. The board has seen 350FSB and 1560HT. For an overclocker, this is still an amazing board. Took an old 3600+ X2 to 3.17GHz and currently a Phenom II to 3.78GHz. The board supports Phenom's using the latest BIOS, but has no voltage adjustments for them. You can use the Overvolt setting in the BIOS to give you 1.44v under load though. *Note: Only Phenoms have no multiplier/voltage adjustments. Great board, very recommended!      » READ MORE

This board is a sweet deal for $130 and I am finding it really easy to mod the north and south bridge heat sinks. The only thing you might have an issue with is if you install large heatsinks for the north and south bridge then put a larger video card in, the card may not fit due to the placement of the north and south bridges.

I purchased this motherboard because this was the lowest priced motherboard that I can find, that had AM2 socket and full crossfire (both at 16x) capabilities.       » READ MORE

 Rated by Kyle_N, October 6, 2007

For the ASUS line of Crossfire motherboards, this is a sweet deal. Expandable to 8GB of memory, plenty of options for PCI/PCI-Express. I admit, I read the manual and even the manual makes for easier configuration (of jumpers, plugging in wires, etc). I don't think I could have gotten a better motherboard for the price I paid.      » READ MORE

I'm pretty satisfied with this board. It was down to this board and the dfi that is about equal in price for me. But i went with the asus to me it's a more tidy board with a very user friendly bios. I needed a good board that supported crossfire with 2 pci-e 16x slots. This fit the bill perfectly, I'm not dissapointed in my purchase it all, it's a great motherboard.      » READ MORE

I'm pretty satisfied with the board, it's just like my old a8r32 board. I hope next time asus puts the southbridge away from the pcie slot so my graphics card actually fits nicely. I'm a still alittle nervous that the it might short something out, but it hasn't happened yet!      » READ MORE

 Rated by Justin_T, June 20, 2007

I have to agree with Spartan Innovations on the lack of PCI slots, also the chipset is horribly under cooled. Currently my chipset is +5 degrees warmer than my CPU at idle. I find that a little ridiculous and the fact that the chipsets (North and South bridge) are so close to the 1st PCIe Slot (16x) means that any heat dissipation upgrade requires pre-planning with regards to the dimensions. Other than those two problems the mother board has been good. Audio quality isnt the best but it is onboard audio and I cant really complain.       » READ MORE

Although pci slots are fast becoming a ting of the past I really would like to have more on this board. It is great value.      » READ MORE

I've had couple months to monitor this motherboard, I can safely say it is very stable. Once I flashed the bios to the latest 0804, it runs Vista just as well as XP. The drivers are all in place and WHQL certified.       » READ MORE

 Rated by TheCactus, March 14, 2007

I got a brand new pc with this motherboard. I decided to try Vista as a new OS. The machine never reached full stability, it would freeze for no reason. Finally, I decided to revert back to Windows XP ... every drivers is there, no problem. I used Prime95 and full stability has been achieved.       » READ MORE
