I know this is really late (Due to our infamously long backlog), but the bad news just keeps coming... I've been trying to install it yesterday, and the mobo died :S Seeing if we can get it replaced right now. I'll try to get the Vertex 4 review or something up this week.

I think it's the CPU socket. Not sure why, since it has always worked out, and when I stored it I've always put a cap over it. I never ruined a mobo before in the socket area, so it's kind of weird. Either way, we should be able to get a replacement.

If you read on Newegg quite a number of people have bent pin issues, it might be a manufacturing problem chc.

The audio is fine. Not as good as Gigabyte, but it's decent enough for most users. Either way, the review is now complete:

That's too bad. I love the board. The layout is awesome, and so is everything else.
