These look like pretty nice boards and I like their layouts.

The reviews say it doesn't need one because the PSU is pretty damn good stuff, runs cool, and I don't think there fans turn off like other PSUs.

Ooh sorry i was not on about there PSU's but there fans that were linked with them.

Sweet memory placement, first intelligent memory placement since at/xt pc's.

Any idea if the PCI-e 3.0 is now real or fake "pci-e 2.0" again ?

Now just to get motherboard manufacturers past kindergarten / 1st grade and start to add 2 and 4 cpu slots for home use
ie: "16x4" 4 cpu's + "6950x4" 4 gpu's, now that would be sweet if only AMD would released 16core cpu's then this would be 64cores and 4x 6970HD's if Xfire is now working properly. :toast:
We know Intel is not capable of delivering 16core cpu's or they would have done so already.

I'm liking the UD5 and assassin. I love acid green and my water cooling is black/neon green so it would look quite nice...

So, they have PCI-Express 3.0 print, but other sources claim Intel have problems with PCI-E 3.0 and they will release 2.0 this year.

I liked it. Would match my SATA cables.

Its like they got someone to throw up over a naked black PCB, then thought "hmmmm carrots" then decided to make it into a colour scheme
