Great after BIOS update

Great board with lots of features. Needed BIOS update for any kind of overclocking.

I have 10 of them for a small cluster, none were defective in any way.

Early BIOS versions suck.
USB driver issues means I needed a PS2 keyboard to install drivers on some machines I upgraded.

None

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Another DOA

This motherboard appeared to be very well constructed, but appearances can be deceiving.

This board was DOA. The first in so many PC builds, that I can't remember how many. Installed this MB into a known good system. Absolutely no power indications, since there is not even one LED on this board. Checked for voltage at various fan headers, etc. Zero volts. ASRock : HTH do you let your MB's get out the door with no QC ? No QC sign-off sticker, nothing ? I took a chance on this MB since the price was right, even with the multitude of negative reviews. 'You get what you pay for" applies here, I suppose.
Sorry ASRock, but your brand has no credibility with me.

Peter, in Newegg Customer Service, was outstanding in processing my RMA request.
