A great motherboard for the price

Very fast motherboard. 2 USB 3.0 jacks in the back and support for 2 in the front. Overclocking is very simple.

The connections for the front headers are in an awkward place, forcing you to stretch cables to their very limits if you're using a larger case.

do your research

not bad looking
works? i guess

regular BSOD's
weird placement

This was my first build, and it went off without a hitch. I was willing to forgive the fact that several cables weren't long enough to reach because of the the weird placement of there plugs on the motherboard, and had to be left out in the middle of the case. After I got all the drivers and stuff installed, I finally was able to test out some games. After a little while though my testing was cut short by a BSOD. I double checked that I had all the correct drivers installed and that they were up to date. They started to happen all the time though, but I didn't know what to do about it. a few days after the initial BSOD I was asked if I had had any trouble with BSODs on pc part picker, because of my mobo. I looked into it, and apparently its a common problem with this mobo, which I would have known if I had payed more attention. So I'm stuck with it for now, it will probably be the first thing I upgrade though, as my computer is almost unusable if I plan to be on it for any extended period of time.
