    @olmatenightfox I agree! Intel is making good processors but they fuck you up because of the price. $999 for the i7 Extreme?! the AMD 6 core is only $200

  11. blingster989 says:

    @migoffspring Get the 955, 2gb more RAM and if you are on a budget the a standard 5770.

  12. FRURMELLL says:

    @wiifan62 This board is perfect for the configuration. I would suggest to get 4 GB 1600mhz DDR3 Corsair ram.

  13. Terihan says:

    @migoffspring yea shouldn’t be any problem, though having 4 gigs of ram will improve performance alot

    The heat sinks are a ripoff off their old P5Q mother board :P they look really similar

  18. UseDaForce says:

    you still have to consider that intel is using the 32nm and amd is still using 45nm
    personally I’m waiting a year or two to upgrade, I’m expecting 18nm by then from both companies.

  19. EmptyMellon says:

    meh…I like ASUS and have used AMD in my last 3 machines, but this board is…well, meh.

  21. ASAWProductions says:

    How does it support quad crossfire with only 2 slots? Also, what is the chasis intrusion detector thingy?

  22. ASAWProductions says:

    I agree with Nadrealis, but you should just throw it across the room or something after saying it. Also, bring the “knife” (AKA sword) back! :)
