Just got one of these and this board is amazing but I was writting reviews for my order and came across this I almost bought another one with this deal if you do Open Box. This probably wont last long!

$137.99 is a great deal on this $199.99 Mobo!

If you got the sound card and acc with it it might be a good deal. Otherwise you would be better off getting a sealed product with warranty.

Well really depends on what user is looking for: for someone looking to move into an entry level DDR3 platform merely for 24/7 use $89.99 gets you a nice 785G with very decent integrated video hehe

Yeah, your next post will be...
"New Asus motherboard No Post HELP"
I wouldn't buy open box stuff unless I had in it my hands and could actually look at it, and even then I would be very skeptical.

I need a good motherboard that can handle the following
AM3, AM2+, AM2
Nvidia nForce 980a with 3 PCIe
I will be Overclocking the CPU and Nvidia cards so the board and memory will be water cooled.
I will be running 16GB of ram if i can find 4GB Corsair ram sticks. they will be water cooled.
i am hopeing to get 5.5Ghz out of a AMD Phenom II X4 3.2Ghz.
Does anyone know of a good motherboard to achieve this?

You are going to need more than water for that. Start your own thread in the motherboard forum, they will be better able to help you, but really nVidia chipsets are CRAP so you shouldnt be using them if you want to get a high overclock and benchmarking results, AMD/ATI or i7/nVidia, those are your two options.

I allready have a nvidia video card that i want to run SLI, the water cooling is personally designed. I won't have to worry about the heat. I don't want to use ATI video cards.
