ASUS Crosshair IV Formula - AM3 - AMD 890FX - DDR3 - Republic of Gamers - ATX Motherboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this through Amazon with 2 day shipping and it showed up the next morning. I use this board in conjunction with an AMD PII 1090T Thuban, 4gb of DDR3, a BFG Nvidia 9800 GTX+ OC, 32 gb high speed ssd and a 500gb 6gbs pair of data drives raided together.

This motherboard is awesome, it's excellent for gamers but is tuned for over-clocking. I have actually used almost every feature on the board and have to admit, they are REALLY useful.

Their are a couple of issues though. You MUST update the BIOS (this is a no brainer and should be done regularly) and there is a bug with Vdroops and LLC= Load Line Calibration. Right now if you turn LLC off, the system suffers a MASSIVE V-droop. IE: set the system at 1.47v and it return 1.356v at load. Turning LLC on can cut back on the Vdroop, however it also raises your operating temperature a bit and is unstable with a high overclock. ASUS is working on this already, a fix should be on the way shortly, until then you can compensate by finding how large the Vdroop is and over-volting the difference. Not what I recommend doing, but it works.
