The only problem I had was that I could not use higher than 10x multiplier where all 4 cores would go above 10x. Other than that, it's been rock solid for me.

One thing I would mention though is PWM temps. Mine were high and I did add an 80mm fan and I also folded the heat tape over the PWM chips to make it thicker and that knocked a good 20-30c off my PWM chips. I would recommend you do that as soon as you get the mobo since the tape gets a little gooey after awhile, plus on a bare board it only takes like 15 seconds to remove the heat pipe assembly. I also replaced the heat pads on the NB and SB with AS5.

Really, I am inpressed with this mobo and it does remind me alot of my old Max3 as far as quality and stability, though it also gives you a lot of confidence (maybe too much) in OC'ing, which can be both good and bad
