TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Best FM2 Board I've Used.

UEFI Support with Fast Boot (Windows 8 Only)
Arrived with Updated BIOS. Supports SLI/CrossFire
BIOS is VERY VERY easy to configure and navigate through.
Overclocking support is Phenomenal, Thank you AMD and MSI.
Drivers provided on DVD were exceptional, however, one can find updated drivers online through AMD, MSI, and Realtek.

Included Pin Risers for Front Panel were cheap. Motherboard does not display pin-out. Users must refer to the risers or manual for pin configuration.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Almost Worked

-Supports very high memory frequency
-Supports easy overclocking
-Includes Usb 3.0
-Has internal tactile buttons for power and reset
-Supports sata 6gb/s

-The integrated realtek hd audio did not work

Ever since I have owned this motherboard the audio has been defective. The front and rear audio jacks have never worked. I have been using usb speakers. Since the beginning I have been troubleshooting. I have tried all the tricks to get it to work and none have succeeded . I have installed the latest drivers for windows 7 as well as rolled back the drivers and tried older ones. I have flashed both new and old bios' to try and see if that was the problem. I have looked to see if the integrated audio was enabled in the bios and it was. I have tried loosening the screws holding it to my case and have even taken it outside of my case to try it on the anti-static bag. Nothing has worked and I am sure that it is defective.
