Yeah i was thinking around the £225 mark, got a few months till my course starts so more than enough time for some more boards running the new chipset to come out and compare the performance/overclocks, i just hope these keep ahead of them as "Well it is the best board i can buy for it" is more than a good enough excuse to buy such a good looking mobo.

Compared to intel offerings with similar features, £167 seems like good value to me. Compared to other AMD boards it's a little pricey, but the performance looks hard to beat.
Its a very nice board, Im a sucker for good looks it does kinda help its a doddle to use aswell.

The inbuilt overclocking features seem quite well executed considering it's such a fine art with a wide range of chips out there. Certainly good to get someone started.
I'm glad they adopted the red/black colours, looks nicer than the C3F imo and brings it into line with the intel boards.

Ive been saying for a long time that AMD need better motherboards, the Crosshairs seem to be the motherboards I was hoping for both in performace and most importantly looks.
My first Asus motherboard in 5 years which was an AMD board i.e. Asus A8N-Sli Premium which worked 8+ hours a day for over 4 years before I sold it for only £40 less than I bought it for!
I've never been one for motherboard looks but I must admit I did get suckered in, was the first thing that caught my eye about it, just waiting for my 1090T to arrive - can't wait to get it hooked up.
The worse review I've seen so far out of everyones is bit-tech, lack of depth, lack of benchmarks, lack of detail etc.
Enjoyed the review, can't find fault with it to be honest, not just saying that either if I thought it was crap I would say so.

Looks like a sick board. If I didnt already have an i7, Id go for this board and the 1090T no questions asked
We cant test everything when the first review goes live dude 
name='barkaway' said:the reason why i want em to test the 8GB set is that i have one myself, but i have never had the chance to test it cause i dont have the motherboard for it
not yet anyways
What I said dude is we have 1 review up for the Hex, there will be more to come. Patience young padawan.
