For what ever it's worth I've built 2 computers with Asus A7N32 Deluxe mobo's, 2 with the A8N32 Premium mobo and my current is the M2N32 Deluxe which is a lighter version of the Crosshair board and if anything Asus is a very reliable board.All of these computers are still in use and have had no problems connecting to the mobo. As a user I can highly recommend Asus. Good luck and have a good 1.
