Overall Review:
I had problems with the first board that Newegg sent (could not get a POST and no BIOS beeps). Turns out it was my fault for not removing a post in my case from my previous MB. Newegg sent a new (refurbished) board and I figured out the post thing with this second board. If there had been an anti-corrisive seal on the board the post would never had shorted some of the solder joints togeather. The manual is written in 7 different languages so only the minimum information is included. ASROCK did respond to my second e-mail for technical assistance. However, their response was "take your stuff to newegg and let them help you out."
Overall: The board has been reliable. Newegg ROCKS when dealing with RMA's. But I would still recommend spending a few more bucks for a more popular board.
