My opinion... if you're going to get a 3950X ($699), you might want to look at a better board; especially if you're going to to overclock. Not trying to be funny but I question a sub $200 board and the "Tuf" isn't high in the Asus hierarchy chain.

That said, nobody is telling me how to spend my money, so...

I did some real research on the boards and seriously most boards are not available

Now i was going to get the Taichi which is $300+ but after seeing this and the cooling i am using later i would be a fool not to

i went for the Tuff the ones i had before had awesome VRMS and guess what it didn't change



If you watch this Video the Tuff is the best bang for your Buck and for the testing they did open air i am sure my Water Cooler will make it that much cooler

By the way this is the Case i use plenty of Air flow
