Pros: The previous card I bought only about a month ago was an Apollo ATI HD4670 with 256MB of GDDR4. Video Card Stability test benchmark gave me 164 fps on normal clock settings and 177 fps on full OC. I just ran the same test on this card and got 355 fps on normal clock settings and 387 fps on full OC. Can't wait to run some games and will update this review.

Cons: none so far.

Pros: Solid construction; fits 9.5mm drives

Cons: With the way the holes were drilled I couldn't fit it in the drive bays of my Zalman Z3 Plus case. I had to reverse the orientation. As most other reviewers have mentioned, there is a lot of play if you use 7mm (thin) drives, which leads me to recommend this only for SSDs, not SSHDs.

Overall Review: Because of its solid construction it's really heavy; too heavy for my taste.

Pros: I love all the features in this board, but I mainly picked it for the M.2; not many M.2 micro atx boards (although that's changing). I would've given this board 5 stars, but...

Cons: the problem I have with this board is that the M.2 is shared with SATA express (SATA4 and 5). So with an installed M.2 card, I've lost two of the six SATA ports. I wish that was indicated in the marketing specs. Additionally, SATA1 is shared with the eSATA port. That's another SATA port lost if you wish to make the eSATA port available for external connection.

Pros: This case was very easy to work with and seems to be good quality. Installed an Asrock Z97M OC Formula matx board in it. I've got everything working now, except for the two top fans; they don't seem to be powering on and I haven't figured out where the problem is yet (might be the fan controller switch). I also haven't tested most of the ports yet (USB, headphones, etc)

Cons: Top fans aren't powering up.
