Pros: Goodly amount of fan headers and the fan management software works 'Like a breeze' easy to install in my Bitfenix case. Bought it for HTPC I didn't need the overclocking or tweaking features. On board video and audio worked great.

Cons: Nothing but problems with this board. Memory would only install in The B slots(not what the manual stated)-And to get the proper configuration I had to install the sticks five times causing the snap-in tab to break. My Evga GeForce 640 Graphics card that I decided to get a few months later would only work in the second slot. I couldn't get anywhere with Phone support-They knew less than I did about the board-They couldn't say whether the other two memory slots would work and I didn't want to purchase more to find out.When I asked for level 2 support I was told to wait for a call.On two occasions I waited all day.and no one called back .I then tried e-mail and got a snarky ' deal with it' reply back saying that some memory works only works in certain configurations and some video cards wont work in the first slot.I then e-mailed back a second time for an RMA which they were kind enough to agree to.Unfortunately the socket pins were damaged during shipping and are not covered under Asus warranty.Repair would be $90 + my shipping cost was $16 so that's almost the cost of the board.They Refused to Replace the board ( even though the slot issues were pre-existing to damage) or upgrade me to a different board if I paid the difference. They also refused to hold onto the board until my insurance claim went thru so I will have to pay for re-shipping again if I want it repaired. I am not Happy
