Buyers of this board were catching hell due to premature release. Asus recently released 0802 bios solving Q6600 issues, and I found this that solves memory > 2GB issues.
I chose this board over reference XFX and EVGA boards for the improved heatsinks, 8-phase power design, and use of high quality power components. With the above fixes in place, the board is rock solid thus far. Anyone passing on this board because of issues should give it a second look.
(and yes, I know 780i is a 680i refresh) 😉

This rig is fairly quiet despite the appearance otherwise!
