Those mainboards perform very well and are generally stable. The only 
problem with them is the chipset fan. It runs at ~8000rpm and the 
bearings stop working after a month or so (in all the cases I've seen).

You should really keep an eye on that fan. If it starts to fubar, just 
replace it with some kind of 3rd-party heatsink and fan.
