My new board is awesome!

A limited edition, and features hand-picked components for extreme overclockability. Incidentally, the PCI-E slots support the new PCI-E 2.0 standard too. ASUS also adds a heat-pipe solution that integrates a water block on the Northbridge chipset for proper cooling.

The entire motherboard has a very intricate heat-pipe system that remains cool no matter about the working hours. It also embeds an inbuilt sensor that will warn you if temperature exceed threshold. ASUS also have incorporated a special 2-phasememory voltage termination for voltage regulation even at overclocking. The BIOS is full of overclocking options and tweaks and more than sufficient number of SATA, and USB ports. Looking at the price Rs 16,800 seems high, but it’s plenty of board for that much. ASUS includes a rich bundle too. Highly recommended for those looking at a high-end, stable platform in general .
