From the outset, the Board was set up basically stable and has my FX-8350 recognized immediately patch without BIOS.
The board is equipped with all kinds of switches to test RAM to launch into the UEFI and load the fallback BIOS. Even a switch to start the board without housing, for example for testbenches is attached.
Of the options, you can almost count on the board RoG boards, although it lacks some voltage transformer to massive overclocking to run stable, but it is sufficient to provide stable voltages for the FX-8350 to 4.8GHz.
The UEFI interface is clearly structured and easy to understand, however, some abbreviations are used that are not properly explained, or at which you do not know immediately what they serve.
The German language support is running a bit strange and reads like a machine translation, which he probably is. That is also the reason for the star trigger.
Due to the chipset-related property is only PCI Expres V2.0 available and SLI can only run on two 8 Lanes. But that is not cumbersome and likely to fall only at a GeForce 780 or titanium on.
The ASUS software package is just great, the AI Suite is an all in hand to the board to control live via Windows, of overclocking, stresses on the individual elements on the fan controllers for profiles can be set everything available and without rebooting. From the automatic overclocking function, I advise, however, as this only works absolutely rudimentary and the potential does not exhaust.
The board has a second CPU 4-pin fan connector and can thus deal with DualCPU fans and read. Total 5 4-pin connectors are available. Thus, each fan PWM is controllable.
In my configuration I use the two CPU connections for 140mm fan on the radiator, the pump on the CPU I control with one of the 3 other connections.
All in all a great board. I hope that soon new AMD chipsets and CPUs rausbringt so stanards current can be used.
