Plenty of fan connections for those with full size cases like mine (HAF 932). Board was DOA, no power to back of board as well as all four ram slots were dead would not recognize RAM. So I had to return my 8 GB RAM (1866 Mhz) speed & replace it with 16 GB(1066Mhz) with $10 difference. The 'supported Memmory module' chart on website mentioned that this board supports upto 1866MHz of RAM spd, but when i tried to tweak my RAM it shows 1600Mhz Max in BIOS. The Corsshair V supports up to three PCIE 2.0 video cards. It's also an ideal motherboard if you want to use multiple video cards. The SATA 3.0 components are all lightning fast. The system is stable and I'm really pleased with this motherboard. I might tinker with the overclocking options later, but for now everything is working well. The only option I changed was adjusting the RAM speed to 1600mHZ instead of the default 1333mHZ. The BIOS menu is very user friendly and offers a host of overclocking options. the motherboard was compatible with the ram and video cards that I had chosen for use The product is very stable, came with BIOS ver 1003 so my new Bulldozer FX-8150 worked right out of the box. I am running 4.15 G on the CPU and stable. I bought Corsair Eliminator memory and 2 OC EVGA GTX 560's in SLI and am making a hair over 8000 on 3DMark 11 scores (everything overclocked. For RAM I currently have G Skill 8GB DDR3 SDRAM 240-pin Unbuffered Non-ECC at 1600MHz, no issues what-so-ever. Please just make it simple, fed up trying to make it work. 
If it is true when ASUS crosshair cannot support the latest AMD cpu and Amazon and the page recommended to use them together, I will be extremely mad.
The only thing you need to be aware is that when you first install the mobo you need to install the lan drivers from the cd, otherway you wont be able to use internet for updates(its very dumb and nosense). The only thing I wasn't expecting with all the new hardware was that Windows XP was conflicting with the hardware and thus getting a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death), so I had no choice but to upgrade to Windows 7. With no on board video your only option is to get a video card, I installed a XFX Radeon HD 6950 and again no issues. I currently have an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T in the socket and it runs beautifully. The ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard is a beast to the core, with USB 3.0 support, 32GB maximum RAM, AM3+ socket for AMD's future 8 core processors, and overclocking options. Apparently I was lucky because I did not have to do this as mine already had a recent enough BIOS loaded from the factory. Other reviewers may have mentioned that you will have to update your BIOS in order to get the fx-8100 series processors to work.Being able to use your mouse to scroll through windows is super easy. The UEFI Bios is by far the easiest BIOS I have ever worked with.
I have the CPU OC'd to 4.5ghz, with 16GB of 1866 GSkill Sniper RAM and an XFX 7950 Double D GPU OC'd to 1000mhz and 1425 on the mem. I recently purchased this MB for a fx-8150 build.ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Republic of Gamers Series Motherboard
