Great Mobo, But Be Aware

I love this Micro ATX motherboard. It backs a lot of features into a small board. Lots of SATA 6's and USB 3.0 ports. Matched up well with my i5-4430 processor. Also has a connection for USB 3.0 case ports - oh yeah!

Be aware - there is no IDE port on the motherboard and there is only one PS2 mouse/keyboard port on the back. I know you can find this information elsewhere, but better I mention it than it surprise you.

With a rebate, this board became extremely competitive in pricing for me. I already had my heart set on Intel for this build. As my second great ASRock motherboard, I am becoming a loyal customer.

Faulty

Price

Besides the tight fit (expected from a micro) the board did not work. This is not my first build. I have my check list of items, but even so I made sure to search around and find out if I was missing anything. Did the normal check. Would not post at all. Will turn on but absolutely no video. I tried removing my GPU and just booting through the on board video. No luck. Tried removing the RAM to see if it might be that, but with the removal, lone behold there were no beeps. I know it was not my PSU (tested) plus this was just a quick swap. Now I have to figure out how to get a new one. Dissapointment because my previous motherboard (AsrockP67 extreme 4 gen3) worked just fine.
