TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
was a great board.

It looked and worked perfectly with a great way. I switched my layout for this board specifically just because I heard great things about it and it looks amazing. But it was still too new and I wished I waited.

The price was crazy and it died after 7 months. They are requesting for me to send back the board for repairs and if not they will replace with refurbished. I would like to play safe and have he board completely replaced if anything else were damaged and save me time because I'm already out of commission now for 2 weeks and probably will have to wait 3-4 weeks
