Pros: work as its suppose to

Cons: still working

Overall Review: I use it every day 3 or four hours a day

Pros: The MoBo looks very nice out of the box also able to reach the 2400 mark as advertised for the DDR3 . I liked the start/rest buttons on motherboard has made it where I can reset system . I also enjoyed the Asus' RoG .The Bios was easy for me to set up even for a first time user which i like just need to read a little bit and be patient. The 4x power outlets help those that add power eating GPUs to the system also enjoyed the amount of 4 pin power supply's .

Cons: I have two issues with this MoBo which where not corrected with the first RMA . The first week of use and I started getting sound interrupts while in games it started out as a simple skip it now is a 32 second gap, unsure what the issue was I turned to the internet and sure enough others had the same type of issue, I check to see if I needed a Bios update with none in sight I resolved I would have to live with it until a fix was forth coming ,but after 9 months usage I have given up on that thought I just live with it now until MoBo gives out which I think will be sooner than I thought. The second issue I cant stand is the MoBo start up it now refuses to power up until I reset the MoBo even then it sometimes doesn't work and I hit the start button on board and it fires up most of the time I would have already replaced it with a E.V.G.A. board except I built this system with all water-cooled components everything that could be cooled I used a water-cooled system . With that said I can say I will not purchase ASUS products again ,while many say ASUS products are the best I can now say hmhmh I don't think so I will stick to E.V.G.A. components where possible, I am unhappy as I thought this would be one of the finest builds I put together this is sad sad for me for trying something new I cant think why I would buy another ASUS product their RMA is terrible possible the worst I have ever come across. I can only hope those loyal to ASUS complain enough for them to fix these type of issues and for G O D s sake fix your RMA process just that alone is enough to turn me away from your produces GOOD LUCK ASUS I think you will need it with these type of products being shipped out .

Overall Review: I hope they fix these issues until they do I wont be a follower of ASUS products nor buy them I would love to have had the MoBo for even a couple of weeks before an issue arose but that was not the case, I would love to try some of their products but until I read customers responding in a positive way NO WAY WILL I TRY ASUS AGAIN NEVER AGAIN.

Pros: NO PROS because unable to use the MB.

Cons: NO CMOS BATTERY UNABLE to contact ANYONE AT MSI ABOUT CONCERNING MISSING ITEM HOW DO YOU CHECK A MB WITHOUT A CMOS BATTERY ? EXPLAIN THAT TO ME MSI. IF FACT YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT SAID BATTERY

Overall Review: DON'T BUY MSI IF YOU DO YOUR IN TROUBLE. NO I MEAN NO SUPPORT AT ALL FROM TECH SUPPORT TRIED AND TRIED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT BUT NOTHING BUT ERROR THIS, ERROR THAT, BEFORE I JUST GAVE UP AND DECIDED TO RETURN ITEM AND BUY FROM SOMEONE THAT CARES ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS.I COULD JUST DRIVE TO BATTERIES PLUS BUT WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY A BATTERY

Pros: Well i decided to use this in my older build instead on the newer one see below

Cons: ONLY con I have and its not just with this version every CPU self contained unit seems to have same issue forget using it in a full tower unit hoses not long enough.
