I'm not buying this board for CF or the physics card (okay, maybe the physics card if i have money or CF), but i really like this board cuz, its DFI that means great overclocking, passive cooling without heatpipes, unlike those crazy heatpiped Intel and Nvidia chipset boards, and the 5 phase DIGITAL PWM. Look at the nice and clean area around the cpu socket. No extra caps/VRMs.
