ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
  • Remote GO!
  • UEFI BIOS with EZ Mode allows
  • USB 3.0 Boost
  • USB BIOS Flashback
  • Direct Key

Pros:

Wasn't DOA
The bios was current and supported my FX-8320.
Works out the box with Ubuntu 12.04
I'm not sure if this a ASUS feature or feature in all UEFI boards, but I like the idea of being able to update the bios with a usb drive without needing an OS or even a cpu installed.

Cons:

Other reviews getting me worried.

Overall Review:

I did buy the extra warranty because other reviews have made me deathly afraid of ever having to deal with ASUS directly. Hopefully I'll never have to use it.
