Pros: Easy set up. Set RAM via XMP without issue. Overclocked my i7-6700K to 4.5GHz while undervolting it to 1.28V. Good fan control via the FanExpert graphical interface. Flashed to newest BIOS without issue.

Cons: UEFI is not perfectly stable. I had it hang on me a couple times.

Overall Review: I am very pleased with this board. No complaints at all.
