3 years without a single hiccup

I dont go through many, so I cannot say for certain if this mobo crashes more or less than others, but it does on occasion.

4 Mobos later and still PCI-E slot 1 is dead.

asus ...

No issues here, it seems a very stabile platform sofar. Even with a Creative X-Fi Xtrememusic and Antec NeoHE 550.

best to none

True to Asus' reputation, this board continues their trend of releasing stable motherboards geared towards the enthusiast.

3 GHz with athlon 64 4000 +

Great, not godly. It requires some tweaking, but when you get it right, then it's only limited bu CPU or RAM.

nearly as good as DFI

Finally a veritable nF4 overclocking option by Asus, they've picked up considerable ground to the top OCing dog, DFI.

Not tried yet but it seems that this card was done for that ;)

But what system DOESNT show signs of slowing down after a year of use?

Not an issue of the board, more of the nForce. ATA and SATA could be better.

not much diffrence from other nF4 boards

Speed is as expected for a top tier offering.

Tons of SATA connections, great design, inteligent copper heatsink design, and Full Dual 16X PCI-E... what more could you want?

Not much to wish for. Though the extra SATA/RAID controller is located oddly.

one of the best in its class

At 3.2V tops, a higher DDR voltage threshold would be appreciated. Otherwise, not much is missing here.

Passive cooling for the chipset, firewire, spidf (optical and coax), two 16X PCI express port...

the usually stuff

a bracket with 4 usb ports may help...

A bit over-priced as are all the latest of the greatest. It'll go down in time as usual.

Expensive ofcourse

Realistically, the price is not justified. It's geared toward the enthusiast, and pricing premium reflects this.

Only able to change CPU fan for some reason, I tried everything (advanced settings and all that)

Fan speed changing only works for CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN1 + RPM for PWR_FAN

I can change some of the values for the sensors but they don't effect the speed.

enable Temp3: diode3, Set to diode, check box, ok, diode3 set to thermistor, ok, should display temp of mystory item (pwm?)

Q-fan speeds up way to soon, much to fast and is thus pretty useless. Speedfan resolves this issue completely.

Evn though it has 6 fan headers only two of them can be configured.CPU-FAN_1 & CHA_FAN_1 =(

CPU and exhaust fan are adjustable, intake is not (assuming fans are plugged in logically where oriented).

You can change the speed of 2 fans and monitor the speed of 3 fans
