i love the reviews, keep them up

@DMafia23 Thank you! But none of the companies send me hardware. I buy or borrow to review. In this case I got this motherboard for free and will be using it for the AMD Bulldozer CPU. :)

@seaottersoup Thank you! I'll be running an AMD FX-Series CPU once it is released, hopefully. So tomorrow is the rumored release date :)

[NicolasxEnglish]

@DMafia23 Yes, I know. But then I have very very bad luck and bad things happen to my hardware. Even impossible ones... :s

[NicolasxEnglish]

@OnHitCulture You're talking of the AMD FX-Series CPUs, right? Yes, many benchmarks are fake. ;p

[NicolasxEnglish]

I touch the CPU and hold down a little bit, but too much and put the lever down. :)

@morph2g Thank you very much! More to come :)

hello nick, would you please answear me i have a am3+ motherboard and in the manual it tells me to press firmly as i drop the lever down to lock the cpu in place, ive seen that people dont touch the cpu, they just pull the lever down and lock it in? what should i do? ty.

I see you seem to favor AMD, do you think Piledriver chips will be good for this mother board? And when do you think they will release it? I heard September to October 2012 I hope it is soon...

[seaottersoup]

Great review! How soon will you be putting this motherboard to use?

[ThaViralRabbit]

So do you think all the benchmarks being released are fake? I find it funny how people want it to fail so bad..lol

[ErnestJay]

Of course, but this motherboard is OVERKILL for FX 4100, it should be FX 8350 for optimal performance of this board.
