“Got this motherboard to replace a burned-out Gigabyte mobo. After getting it I realized that this one is superior in many ways except with matters of overclocking and RAM capacity. It has USB 3 (one of the reasons I chose it), SATA 3, a host of free software, and two PS/2 ports. However, there are overclocking issues. I cannot overclock my Athlon II x4 635 past stock because I get BSODs. Also,...” --Algorithm

“I love my UD7. Has been a joy to work with since I have had it. Overclocks my 1090T just fine, very flexible with the memory DIMMs I have tested in it.
Some may complain about the vdroop, however it has been a minor issue for me. ” --Rebelord

“This board has been nothing but a solid performer with my FX-8350 at 4.5Ghz. The only thing that really startled me was the VRM temps when overclocked to 4.8Ghz, they got to 80C. Other than that I have been pleased to have the stability of quality components and a very well designed UEFI. I believe the AsMedia SATA ports are under-performing however the SATA ports that are run from the...” --speedytech7

“I have problems with CPU-Z (ROG version) and HW-Monitor proggies, both giving readings that can't be true. Might be a bug that will be fixed up soon, at least I do hope so, otherwise I think I have faulty MoBo or FX4170 sensors.
Examples: Core temps are +2 degrees of Celsius (room temp = 21 degrees of Celsius) and i'm using air cooler / Macho HR-02, Core speeds running up and down from 1000MHz...” --Finlandia

“Although it's way too early to give this board a proper review, I wanted to take the opportunity to pass along this info. The build was smooth, I avoided any problems with the rear-facing SATA ports by pre-placing all the wires I was going to need. The problem was that it kept going to sleep, which I did not know why until after a long round of testing, part replacement, etc.
Turned out it...” --Loeteke1

“This Asus board is a pretty fantastic budget board in my opinion, I used it in my first PC that I built. It had nice features in it that found nice. Including onboard audio that had 8 channels, onboard ATI 4290 graphics, and lots of places for USBs.
I used a AMD Athlon II X2 in it and the board unlocked it to an X3. This board also has a very robust BIOS with many features and its easy to...” --txtrkandy
