Anyone know anything about these? I'm planning to upgrade my current rig after my next rig is done and I'm looking at a new mobo to upgrade over my GA-MA790X-UD4P. At first, I was looking at the MSi 4-Way CFX board and the ASUS CrossHair III, but these new ones seem to be pretty okay...

yeah they look pretty decent.

I trust ASUS more than MSI, that's why I'd go for ASUS Crosshair III

Any specific reason for the trust in ASUS?

Asus is a pretty decent company. I sent my laptop to them on wednesday, it got there on friday and I got it back on tuesday! I'd have to agree with Analizer

Although it wasn't listed on Newegg's specs - I went to MSI product page and found this

Slots

• 2 PCI Express x16 slots with x16 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
• When 2 PCI Express x16 slots are all installed, the PCIE x 16 lanes will auto arrange form x16/ x0 to x8/ x8.
• 2 PCI Express x1 slots

Good cooling system on south and north bridge. Easy to overclock CPUs and I had ASUS motherboards since 2003 and none of them actually broke, each mobo has been used by me for over a year which comes up to 7 ASUS motherboards. Never had anything else - no GIGABYTEs, no MSI, nothing

It has good components, if nothing else. All solid caps and a decent power section.

IMO I would wait for the 890 chipset to come out these 790 boards are going to get cheap...
