The Crosshair V Formula is an excellent piece of machinery, and with Crossfire and SLI support things just got more interesting, as the motherboard gains value, features and could be real fast once AMD's Bulldozer processors are launched

Good board, I've had some problems but it is generally good.There are only 2 USB 2.0 headers and no firewire which is not good being that the primary use of this computer for me is video work.

Running with FX-6100 overclocked to 4.2ghz. Only fails Prime test on the 6th core. Weird, but windows is solid. Launched Battlefield and Starcraft 2 at the same time, ALT-tab to both and no problems.
The motherboard is amazing, even for its price point. It comes with all of the features that you need. The BIOS is decent; very easy to navigate. The OC profiles work fine.

Bought to replace a Crosshair 3. My 3rd top shelf ASUS motherboard and so far just as good if not better than the rest.
The feature make it worth it the investment just make sure to upgrade the BIOS right away or you will have memory issues (at least I did) once you do that it will be right as rain.

Very impressive motherboard, and if you like ASUS like me you will be impressed as well. This motherboard has a very great design, and is definitely a big pick for you gamers out there. The BIOS is slick as well since it has a GUI and can setup profiles for overclocking. You can simply change the profiles by a push of a button on the motherboard as well. I would highly recommend this board to anyone looking for something to use with their new 8 Core AMD like myself. I hooked this thing up with 16GB 2133 DDR3 ram and a 3.1GHZ 8 Core AMD, it works great.
