A++++ mobo, would buy again!!
I have no issues with this board. I see some people complaining that it only has one PCI Express slot, or it's missing some port they wanted. How is this a con? Did you not read the specs before you purchased the board? You knew what you were getting before you hit the button to pay for it, so why complain now?
Anyway, it has everything I needed and was a good price. As some other reviewers noted, it comes with an awesome BIOS and tons of features. I haven't played with many of them yet because I want to make sure I have a stable OS install first.
I basically just set the date, changed the SATA type to AHCI and off I went.
I do have some complaints though. Their software sucks!
I can find no where to have the board adjust the fan speed based on CPU or chipset temperature. So basically the fans run at 100% all the time, which is really annoying. I have been using the MSI GUI to step them down once I boot into Windows. The problem is that you have to load the software, find the right tab and then change the speed on each fan. There is an option to save a profile with your settings, but it doesn't "remember" your settings between reboots. What good is that if I have to open the software and load the profile every single time I reboot?
The Super-Charger software triggers a UAC prompt each boot which is also annoying. I ended up having to create a task that fires the software with elevated permissions.
Seriously, rewrite this thing so it can run as a service. How can you make such a great board and then write junk software.
I'm subtracting 2 eggs for the software.
