I'm planning on getting one soon. I'll let you know. Newegg.com has the lowest price after shipping that I've found.

Installed mine yesterday, upgraded from AK31 r3.1 (which is for sale btw)

I really like this board, pretty much an AK31 but it over-volts more and has onboard raid, i don't use the onboard sound so oh well

I got mine about a week ago, working fine so far, no problems.

Seems quite a bit snappier than my old SDRAM setup (1gig sdram vs 512DDR)

Got mine last Thursday. It's very stable (see my rigs). I didn't care much for the on-board sound, so, I'll stick with the SB Audigy. I plan on using the RAID feature very soon. Overall I'm VERY impressed with the quality of this mobo.

My AK35GTR is on the way now.

I installed mine last night. It is very impressive, BUT -- the 5v line is really weak.

I upgraded from an AK31 2.0 (KT266), and it boasted a 5v line of > 5.0. It also pumped out a little extra vCore at each setting.

My AK35GTR's 5v line runs 4.73 under load to 4.81v idle when the vCore is at 1.95v. The rest of the system is unchanged and the 5v line is about .025 volts lower, which is enough to wreck overclocking stability. Also, the vCore is always a little less than selected, but this is really irrelevant because vCore's above 1.85 are finally functional.

Bump for more replies. I'm either getting this board or the Abit KR7AR.

To follow up on my earlier post about the 5v line...I wonder if it's just a monitoring issue. At 1.96v vCore my 5v line goes to 4.68-4.76 under load. Yet I haven't had any locks, crashes, blue screens, etc. Overall a great board and a worthy purchase.
