[...] barely nothing over the MSI and the MSI is about 50 USD cheaper out here, so I would go for that. http://www.techreaction.net/2009/09/…ir-iii-review/ [...]

The audio card is not all that great, just an extra thrown in, so please continue to use your XfFI.

Also, the top of the board gets a bit crowded, but you can run a crossfire without any issues. the top slot is a pcieX1 and not X16, and then there are two more X16 slots, each of which can hold a dual sized card.

Thanks for the review however I was a bit disappointed no testing of the included audio card was mentioned – use it or stay with my Creative XFI?

Furthermore it appears from one of the photos this audio card sits almost on top of a PCI-E slot??? So if I get this board am I choosing audio or video (SLI)?

I don’t know, I kind of liked the light, though more solid colors on the top of the logo would make it look a whole lot better. Right now it looks a little faded. About the fan, the board runs pretty cool as compared to some of the other AM3 mobos I have. My GD70 sure needs a fan.
