Even though this is a Master Board, it is improving my game.  We have spent hours playing on this board.

The bigger board is not as big as expected and the smaller one is too small. I am thinking just one board would have been fine.

I love this board! I had a cheap one, but having one that looks nice is completely worth the price!

It's a well made board but...it is not nearly as versatile as a Logitech 520.

I have the third revision of this board, and I absolutely love it. It is extremely well built, and has been a best over the years that I have been using it. Revisions to the BIOS firmware have only seemed to improve the motherboard since I first received it.

The build quality is excellent, with enough heat piping and heatsinks to keep the north and southbridges cool. Dual channel ram works well, using Corsair Vengeance ram, and I am able to get a solid overclock out of my fx8120. I have it running at 4.2GHz. I would have liked to see a larger overclock though, as my temperatures are still very low with my cooler master heatsink. Unfortunately, even with my low temps, anything above 4.2GHz gets unstable.

Gigabyte continues to make excellent components, and I recommend this board hands down.

I bought one of these boards quite a while ago after switching to ASRock as my "Go-To" Motherboard. I picked it so that I could make low-cost systems out of inventory I had around. I liked it, but my main source stopped carrying it.

I am buying this one before they become hard to get because I realized it makes the perfect low-cost test system. I can test AM2, AM2+ and AM3 processors with it as well as DDR2 and DDR3 memory.

** UPDATE **

Supply and demand? I don't know if it's because the board is getting scarce, but it's gone WAY UP since I bought it. I wouldn't recommend it at the current prices because you can get two individual boards for this price.

Being the first popular review and seeing such a severe price hike, I am debating if I want to ever give another positive review on a product...

Shop around...

I bought two of these main boards and used them in 2 pc's.  Each pc had the exact same hardware in it.  On one PC I loaded Windows 7, 64 bit operating system, and the board worked flawlessly. If this was the only system I loaded, then I would have given it a 5 star rating.  The second system I tried to load Windows Home Server (2008) and got the dreaded Blue Screen of Death once the  installation program rebooted after loading files onto the pc.  I had to return the mobo along with the memory to Amazon.  Bear in mind though, that with Windows 7, 64 bit, the board works well.  I have been using the board for about a month now and am totally ok with the installation

This board has one MAJOR flaw...it is not grounded. The board is great for the price. Good amount of space, lots of outlets for pedals. But the AC adapter is not grounded, therefore some pedals can get extremely noisy when turned on. Just one thing to consider when buying this pedal.

well. i have had this board up for 3 weeks or so now, and there is a crease that is growing about a third of the way from the right side of it...  It has worked its way about half-way down the board in about 3 days...  I have to assume it is going to continue all the way down.  Does the board still work, sure, but it's hard to write on with a bump in the middle...  Would I suggest you buy it, probably not...  Spend the money and get the good board.

My wife and I love the board.  In fact, she loves it so much she wants to use it and I am going to use hers!

The board itself is awesome and deserves 5 stars. solid construction, quite heavy, and sufficient "miss" area outside. The wires are also very thin and I've had no bounce-outs yet (approx 1000 throws).

The minus 1 star comes from the in-excusable mounting screws that come with the board. DO NOT attempt to mount the board with the provided hardware. The good part is that it comes with 2 different sets of mounting parts, so you have some options. The bad part is that neither set has the correct screws. If you try to use the provided screws, you will find that the screw heads/caps interfere with the fit; i.e. you won't be able to mount the board after you've screwed in all the screws. What you need to buy are FLAT-HEAD COUNTERSUNK screws

Long story short, be prepared to make a trip to your local hardware store if you buy this board

Board is ok, you will need to do alot of manual updating, it's strong but not a super strong board.
There always seems to be a sort of high pitch whining sound whenever sound stops playing, kind of annoying. I did end up fixing it  by using the equalizer and dropping the 100hz sound bar to -14 db though, the need a better equalizer i usually only cut out 20 db and below clutter from my sounds so not so Crystal sounding.
The have a link for Daemon tools pro on the website for this product but so far i have not figured out how to get more than the 60 day eval period of this.

And an update, it is now 11-9, 14 days, 2 weeks after i got this motherboard i've got to  send this board in for an rma because i can't even get graphics on it if i install a driver... fml out of any company asus has the worst customer support i wish i had gone with gigabyte or msi, but you get what you paid for i guess. A hotrod made out of fiberglass.

What's not to love about the ASUS X99-PRO? Or X99 at all? What's not to love about having a 6 or 8-core processor and 8 DDR4 memory slots? Or a M.2 type M slot? Or 10 SATA ports? Or built-in WIFI and bluetooth? Or USB 3.1? Or just having a socket that's just plain huge? This board means business and is well suited for the professional or enthusiast looking for that competitive edge. Not cheap by any means, but well worth the investment.

The Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha is a great motherboard for a mid-level price. The board installed very easily and not only performs great, but looks great too. I thought the RGB LED lights on the board would be brighter, but I can not complain about the ambience they add. I am also excited to try out the RGB LED controller built into the board. Great BIOS, you can even use a mouse in BIOS settings. Sturdy and pretty board.

The only reason I did not rate this board for 5 stars is because of an unlucky issue unrelated to how the product performs (Check to make sure the "New" board you ordered is, indeed, new.)

This board is a very important organizational tool. I love it.

The design of the board is what affects this review the most. The structure of the board is very durable, also it is a little longer in the width on a side note. Although the very TEXTURE and LOOKS of this art is HD! (The company that makes these should have same keyboards for the other keyboards they sell and have a exact structure.
