So does mine, but that doesn't make it a bad motherboard. It's the best of the budget ASUS boards.


/e on a $200/$500 budget, he ain't gonna be getting a Maximus motherboard. :/

It has good heatsinks, it OC's it does SLI...its a great board.

/e BTW, that mobo is crap. You don't put a $136 CPU in a $45 motherboard. :/


/ee Go back to general chat to get your post count...you're giving bad advice bro.
