my buddy and I got asus sabertooths and were disappointed with them I went intel and he went with a gigabyte ud3 and moved the parts off the asus and is happy with it and now wished he never wasted his money on the asus to start with.. his son took my chip and got a asrock extreme 9 I think and as far as I know it good .. but its like all this stuff theres good and bad no mater what brand you pick you just hope what you get is good and builds, fires up and runs and not get one that is nothing but an issue good luck
