   ...Ummm, anyone want to buy a slightly used Crosshair IV Formula? This is the one I really wanted, but of course it gets delayed until right after I purchase the CIVF.

   I'm kinda scratching my head wondering why one would need a "remote tweaking" option.

   I'm not sure how the feature would be useful either. Anyone?

   If it works for gpus it would have been useful when nvidia sent out those drivers that messed up the fan controller :P

   Hi Tom , the RC tweak is for hard core OC'ers. It is so when the settings you implement crash the machine, it saves the last settings and setup. They gave me a short USB cable to hook up a laptop and tweak from it.

   @ guest, the 5 PCIE slots are for options, if you need to make use of that Pci slot, you have the lower PCIE slot to use for example....and folding I suppose.

    Meh. Sure looks nice and seems feature packed by AMD standards but the sandy bridge platform will mop the floor with this in a few months.

    You'd really have to love AMD to purchase this board. Even that price would be too crazy for an X58 board, let alone the 890FX. I cannot discount the amount of technology that has been packed into this board though, and on those merits, this is one badass board.

    @red1776

    I meant...swap my current one to this one? I heard from a friend that Asus allows you to do that?

    I have never heard of that program, was this something you read having to do with the NB/SB/PWR heatsink issue maybe? and did you have the standoff issue when you got your Crosshair IV?

    EVGA has a 'step-up' program where you can upgrade to a higher model within a certain timeframe and only pay the difference. Not sure if Asus does the same, but I'm sure the answer is only a phone-call away!
