To fully unleash the AM3 CPU's potential, the ASUS M4 series motherboards have adopted an 8-phase VRM power design. It delivers high power efficiency and supreme overclocking ability. Furthermore, high quality power components can effectively lower system temperature to ensure longer component lifespan. This series also features an extra 1 phase power dedicated to integrated memory/HT controller.
The motherboard supports hard drives based on the Serial ATA (SATA) 3Gb/s storage specification, delivering enhanced scalability and doubling the bus bandwidth for high-speed data retrieval and saves. The external SATA port located at the back I/O provides smart setup and hot-plug functions. Easily backup photos, videos and other entertainment contents on external devices.

Started well but...
Reviewed by Jon. Review Posted 23/07/2010
What a great board this was to start with. Unfortunately I started getting BSODs which became more frequent to the poiont where it wouldn't stay on for more than a minute. Also sometimes after a BSOD the BIOS date/time would be reset to 00:00. I changed the CMOS battery in case mine was dud but this did not have any effect. All the usual troubleshooting steps followed, e.g. memtest, use only 1 stick of ram, disconnect all hardware etc. I even purchased a new video card but it was all in vain and I have now arranged for this to go back to dabs, hopefully for a refund but I will have to wait and see. A great board on paper, and I genuinely hope I had a faulty one. I'm not sure I could trust one again though.
