Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: First board lasted 29 days. The second board lasted a month and a half. The second board damaged the processor and wiped decades of work on one of my drives. This will be the last time I buy an ASUS board. I've been building PC's personally and professionally for over three decades and have been an ASUS fan for much of it but I have never had a board as flaky as the Dark Hero. If this is a shining example of one of their premium boards they have fallen a long way from where they once were.

Overall Review: I would definitely NOT recommend this board to anyone. If I were to change anything, it would be the manufacturer.

Pros: none

Cons: The B/AM in the model number means a manufacturer warranty and retail box. What I received was an OEM plastic tray shipped in a bubble envelope.

Overall Review: This is a classic bait and switch.

Pros: Looks nice but...

Cons: Ordered 2 sets. Neither will run at the settings listed on the box much less at an XMP setting of 7200.

Overall Review: I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.
