Perfect Motherboard for Overclocking!
This motherboard has a hefty 8+2+2 phase VRM section, a sleek red and black aesthetic, and Asus quality features in the bios to satisfy extreme overclocking. This motherboard is one of a select few high end boards certified to support the 220 watt AM3+ CPUs. There are more options in the bios that I'll ever need to tinker with, and the ones I have adjusted work flawlessly. I have not had a single issue with this motherboard and it continues to impress me with how well the Asus ROG features work. A huge plus is you can flash the bios without even powering on the system and you can even customize the splash screen that displays during post and boot up! 10/10.

More info about product,also consumer beware.
It seems to work. It loaded the OS just fine. There seems be a VR that was played with or replaced VR voltage regulator. Saw the note about the sata number #4 not working.

R.I.P. AM3.
At this point, AM3 is on its way out the door. Ryzen came out today, but I used this board as an incremental upgrade for my old build (made in 2010). Did it serve me well? Yes. Do I have any complaints? No. However, I can't recommend this board now that AM4 is here. I'm not going to discredit it, either. This board has nice features. It has built in overclocking and diagnostic features as well as support for DDR3 2400 MHz. It also boasts an Intel gigabit NIC. There's also nice built-in 7.1 audio, but I rarely used it since I use audio through HDMI. The main reason I went from the Crosshair IV Formula to the Crosshair V Formula-Z was USB 3.0. The board has two USB 3.0 slots in the back as well as an onboard header for modern cases with USB 3.0 ports (or maybe a USB 3.0 5.25" expansion if you choose to go that route). Keep in mind that with AM4 out now, I wouldn't recommend paying much more than 150 bucks for this board. All of this said, if you're looking at making an AM3 build and want a board with some modern features, then this is a board for you!Read full review

High performance combo at the low price
The board looked like brand new without single scratch on it. The bios is amazing to tweak anything you want. CPU must be water cooled to extract heat fast and outside of the case but nowadays MSI water coolers are quality built and inexpensive.
