I have had terrible luck so far with the ASUS boards bios. Guess I am so familiar with the EVGA's I have a mind block lol. That link that MD put up for the Classified is a great deal...why are you considering the four-way?
If you can wait just a bit I will let you know how the Evga X58 SLI micro performs at $199... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188051

Shoot Kris, I just sold my classy 4 way super cheap.

I like the R3E better. ROG connect sure beats evbot clocking.

DANG... Wish I had the money. Dropping $200 on a Gemini pot this week though.

Only way I could afford a 980X is if I am the one that made it "fall off the truck" lol!!!

my golden 920, 760 and kick ass ram all sold in one shot. I probably wouldn't take a 930 if it was $1 lol, but I appreciate the offer brother

I made the switch from the Classy to the R3E as well and love this board. Very forgiving board and always willing to reboot. YES the BIOS is something to get used to but after a little play time you get the hang. As already stated ROG connect is the shizzle and I liked the R3E so much I got the P55 Maximus Formula as well for some fun. Both board rock solid on my end!
