Pros: Works great, the 970 chipset allows my fx 6300 to run like a champ. Setup was easy and the first time I hit the power button was the first time it powered on! No problems at all on my end, so I'm weary to the fact that others seem to have so many problems. I haven't had to update the bios yet or anything.

Cons: I haven't been able to get the usb 3.0 to register yet. I'm going to update bios and see if that makes a difference.
