It's unfortunate that Asus and Gigabyte don't make more AMD cards that can run SLI. Asus has a couple, but they're quite old. Running this with Phenom II X6 1055T, GTX 460, Silverstone 1000W, 8gigs of DDR3 G. Skills Ripjaws. Stock everything, not overclocked then just died.

No issues with this board... seems to be chuggin along just fine. Although I did notice in the manual that it said there is a 15GB RAM limit. On board HDMI could come in handy in the future.
