Any comments on Asus Maximus Formula SE?

Here is the mother of all threads for Maximus Formula... more than 2000 posts from Overclocking aficionados:

My early take on it (just finalizing my OS installations now)... good Quad overclocker with tons of BIOS options, good upgrade path with Penryn mated to DDR2, good for Crossfire with 2x16 PCIe2.0 slots, problem with Vista 64 if you install EPU drivers & AI Suite from MoBo disk (go directly to ASUS download site for current EPU drivers & AI Suite), shortage of PCI slots if you go with two double slot video cards, decent "on board" audio card, no eSATA. BIOS revisions coming out frequently, somebody at ASUS likes to tweak this board.

If you plan on replacing the northbridge cooler to replace it with your own be careful as asus is using some super strong thermal cement to keep it on(not sure if the fixed this yet though) Otherwise you'll end up like this guy.

Holy crap, pulled the damn chipset clean off! I'm glad I didn't mess with mine. I was contemplating pulling it off and using AS5.

OP, I have the standard P5E and love it. Awesome boards..
