Great Board, We'll See How It Holds Up.

Pros: Motherboard has been fantastic so far. The OC Genie is fantastic and makes overclocking easy with my i5 4690K Devils Canyon. I love the space available on the board for components as well. It handles the heat well. Looks fantastic with my MXI GTX 970 Gaming 4G installed in a windowed case!

Cons: I have it 4 Eggs because the heatsink on the southbridge (black plate with red MSI dragon logo) was completely loose from the board when it arrived. It didn't cause any damage to the board, but it turns out that the screws were stripped (weird). I put some blue Loctite in the screw holes and gently put the heatsink back on. So far it's held up fine, and it should stay that way. If not, I'll contact MSI!
