Asus are one of the largest and most successful technology companies on the planet right now – producing some of the finest motherboards known to man with particular emphasis on engineering and build quality.

I am in work so I haven’t had time to read the whole review. I did read the conclusion however and it looks disappointing.

Shit ! I have his card ! mine runs quite hot too, im going to take it apart later to see if it is the paste ! thanks !
