Cool Review!

This is the board in my new HotHardware/Cyberpower Rig

I am getting used to all the features and how to set them up! I am unfamiliar with this whole overclocking thing to begin with. Like the review said, I have run into instability issues if I go above certain Hurts:P

I have all the BIOs settings set to auto. When I run the Turbo V, and the EVO6, it then turns into a balancing act. It seems to go crazy if the settings get to high. You tend to have to keep adjusting until it goes wrong, then go back and set those to what worked right before the shutdown. The Auto tune feature seems to work on a lower end, if you let it go to long, it then starts to crash the system. There never seems to be a problem of getting it back, that is a good sign!

once I have things set to Turbo, I have noticed that things like HD video plays Alot smoother! The Viewports in Max are smoother as well. Yet with the 8800, it becomes difficult to know what to attribute to the board or the GPU. The whole system is a whole lot faster with DDR3 and with this awesome board it is hard to tell because everything is working faster and more stable than before!

I'll let you know if I figure out this Overclocking thing! Since I am supposed to be able to do it with the GPU, CPU, RAM, and MoBo. The layout is really nice and it definitely deserves its Pro name!

Either way,...I am Loving it! Thanks Dave

ASUS Leads the PC Hardware Industry with a New Motherboard Series Featuring Optimized Designs

Innovative Design Delivers Ultimate Performance, Uncompromising Reliability, and Superior Operating Safety Standards

ASUS today announced the Xtreme Design series motherboards featuring ground-breaking design innovations and offering the best in performance and reliability. The Xtreme Design series motherboards delivers exceptional overall system compatibility and enhanced reliability by proficiently managing and reliably controlling core processes operating in the PC. Drawing on two decades of engineering excellence, ASUS believes a genetically superior motherboard DNA will provide the winning formula to surpass current user expectations and industry benchmarks. ASUS leads the industry with designs that optimize overall performance and reliability of PC hardware. In the new Xtreme Design series motherboards, ASUS further raises the bar in motherboard designs for the ultimate in performance, reliability, and safe operations.

Xtreme Reliability for Extended Component Lifespan
Xtreme Design features innovative Stack Cool3+ to enhance motherboard component longevity. It is a feature that was re-engineered from the original copper cooling innovation of the ASUS P5E64 WS motherboard. With the perfect cooperation with Xtreme Design, Stack Cool3+ effectively cools motherboards with an enhanced PCB layer to provide a stable and low operating temperature for optimized data transmissions. By substantially improving heat dissipation, the new series offers users exceptional reliability. This innovation builds on ASUS' pioneering achievement as the first adopter of innovative cooling technology—which transformed the way motherboards were designed.

Xtreme Performance for Enhanced Power and Throughput
For the ultimate experience in performance, Xtreme Design features Xtreme phase to ensure the most stable and optimized power delivery; and Turbo V for a real-time, dynamic processing boost. Both features allow motherboard enthusiasts to experience optimal power performance under various loading conditions as well as an overwhelming boost of up to 51% in processing throughput.
