Every one I have tried has worked.

M3N78-VM:

# sensors
atk0110-acpi-0
Adapter: ACPI interface
Vcore Voltage:     +1.14 V  (min =  +0.80 V, max =  +1.80 V)
 +3.3 Voltage:     +3.30 V  (min =  +2.97 V, max =  +3.63 V)
 +5 Voltage:       +5.02 V  (min =  +4.50 V, max =  +5.50 V)
 +12 Voltage:     +11.91 V  (min = +10.20 V, max = +13.80 V)
CPU FAN Speed:    3770 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
CHASSIS FAN Speed:2257 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
POWER FAN Speed:     0 RPM  (min =  600 RPM)
CPU Temperature:   +41.0°C  (high = +60.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)  
MB Temperature:    +33.0°C  (high = +45.0°C, crit = +95.0°C)  

Nice board, has VGA, DVI and HDMI video outputs, SPDIF header and supports AM2+ Phenom quad-core CPUs.

Not using it for Myth though.

Asus makes nice mobos, I try to stick with them as much as I can.
