This mobo is a limited edition. It has been discontinued from what I have heard. They were only manufacturing them for a certain time period.

Note: with the learning curve for this board I would have been happier sticking with my P35 Platinum MSI board (cheaper and almost as good), I was VERY happy with its over clocking and stability, but I got this ASUS free so I took it.
But on a good note, with all these good peeps in this community a lot of the guess work is done for any new owners of this board. Most new issues that come up now would probably be due to compatibility.

Why has newegg and tiger direct stop selling this motherboard?
ZZF and a few other online retailers are still selling them but I have to wonder if it's based on overstock? This doesn't look like a case of "out of stock" for NE and TD either.
