Aside from all the great features, I'm giving 4/5 stars because of the issues I had trying to install Windows 7 (64bit) from the USB boot. I'm not sure if anyone had this same issue but for some reason, it didn't seem to be able to detect my USB boot stick, even after configuring the BIOS to different boot priorities and physically removing my DVD drive (leaving my SATA Hard Disk and Graphics card connected). It kept giving me the message, "Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in select ed Boot device and press a key".

Have owned it for 3 weeks now, everything running smooth with an I5. No problems yet, was easily able to enable intel X.M.P in the Bios so my ram could run at its proper settings (slightly over clocked it would seem..) .

Not much that I can say aside that it's a very easy to work with motherboard that gives a generous amount of space between all of the slots.

As always with asus motherboards it works great, great board layout as the giant noctua hsf with 2 120 mm fans is not blocking any ram slots or anything else important, also the vieo card is not blocking anything.

This board works quite, as usual for Asus motherboards from my experience, and is certainly one of the more attractive looking motherboards that I've seen come out of late. I'm dinging it a star though for a manual that lacks any sort of troubleshooting guide (I sure could have used one on this last build, but it had nothing to do with the motherboard in the end); and for being an SLI capable motherboard that does not come with an SLI bridge.
