Excellent AM2+ board. Lets you have a 790FX chipset with the SB750 southbridge without the cost of DDR3. Runs my high wattage Phenom II 940 like a champ and overclocks excellently. 3.7GHz 24/7 Orthos stable. The board is actually quite well cooled despite its seemingly wimpy little heatsinks. I would assume most heat problems are due to FSB OCing because I used the multi and I have no problems with heat whatsoever. It is also multiple video card friendly and does Crossfire extremely well with my 512MB HD4870s and 1GB 5850s.
I might add it needs a case with good airflow to stay cool. The heatsinks are enough. But the Northbridge gets a bit toasty without at least SOME airflow.
