Sure, sure - it's something to be happy of :D

Do you like the Philippines in general tho?

I was able to OC my i5 to 4.8Ghz with that

Yeah they are. 4.8 is pretty good - on air or water? I consider 5 Ghz to represent a top-quality overclock. Try to squeeze those last 200 out!

Lol Bad place to be when a new processor comes out, imo.

Lol "it's ASUS..." QFT, right there. I love ASUS and Corsair.

As for the review, I liked it a lot. In general, most of the unboxings/reviews are about Intel boards - nice to see AMD get some recognition.

yep true. getting pcie 3.0 is more like futureproofing for now


@ maximus and sabertooth
Those motherboards are expensive! @__@ I can't afford those..

nice design with that long heatpipe from chipset to power phases. I wish asus z77 boards are that cool!!
any news about AMD's FM1 line? I'm getting this feeling it would be discontinued soon... FM2 APUs are waaaaaay more promising

Really? So this motherboard isn't your style? Or this or this one?

Dunno - I like them both a lot.

It looks like the tough stuff
