Pros: I have orderd 6 of these so far. ALL of them have been ROCK SOLID. I have built all 6 of of them into extencive heavy use gaming systems. these boards kick so much @ss!! the overclocking ability is top of the line. you have a full range of options. overclocking an e8400 to 3.8ghz on other boards requires a .15mv increase on the vcore and atleast .2 increase on the ram. i can get STABLE on a .4 increase on vcore and no increase on the rams voltage. i dont use noob software to stress test my system either. i use nothing but OCCT. reading the complains and cons the other reviewers posted about this board, i can assure you 100% that they have no freakin clue as to what they are talking about. i can officially confirm that every complaint people have on this board is either a lie or a result of mental retardation on the users end. especially the user complaing about 5.1 audio not working.

Cons: the heatsink on the northbridge has a very thin layer of adhesive thermal paste. do not manipulte the boards position by grabbing onto it. if it pops up from its seating then press it back down firmly and wiggle it around while applying pressure.

Overall Review: really, this is best board you can get for the price. motherboard reviews on newegg mean nothing... so many noobs want to build their own system but have no idea whats really wrong when something goes wrong, and they write a bad review blaming the motherboard.

Pros: The drive works great, even thoe it was beat up during shipping.

Cons: I can only speculate on how long the drive will last before it fails on me due to poor shipping. half the bubbles on the bubble wrap were popped and the silica beeds pack was DESTROYED, covering the inside of the package with silica dust. Spend the extra money on FedEx shipping. Especially with hard drives.

Overall Review: This is my second review, newegg didnt post my first one for some reason.

Overall Review: Very noticeable difference coming from the 980 Pro. This is definitely a top performer!

Pros: the 40A IR3553 PowIRStage IC is really want you want on a motherboard. It is the most critical in terms of stability, performance and reliability. It's almost entirely responsible for delivering power to your CPU and RAM (VRIM + DRAM). All these other companies boast buzzword marketing terminologies which are probably designed to confuse you, but really, they ain't got an inch on what the 40A delivers. This really is the most crucial component on a motherboard.

Cons: UEFI Bios seems wonky, but works

Overall Review: Best board for the money!

Pros: Wow this thing is HEAVY- which is a good. Pulled it out of its box for the first time and the thing felt like i was lifting a stone. Very quality of a feel. The board is also nice and large- love that ATX form factor. But the thing I love most was it's price. Got it for way less than what is listed here, it was on sale. But this board is worth full. Has everything I need + the Faudio amp. Crossfire works perfectly (havent tried SLI though). Install/raid was a breeze. Clocking is intuitive and stable.

Cons: My only gripe is the UEFI bios. Although packed with options and everything working perfectly, the menus are a little glitchy to navigate, it just feels a little cheap and SPD detects my ram at a lower settings, but is totally configurable.

Overall Review: haswell 4670k team vulcan ram 8gb

Pros: Works great, did a 200hr. grueling test cycle (simulated about 2 years worth of use) - 40$ off a quality SSD because noobs have trouble using OCZ hardware, which isn't exactly user friendly.. I assure you these "refurbished" units were returned for no reason. no bad cells

Cons: none, the nand is made by intel and the controller is rock solid. there isnt anything that could possibly go wrong, it either works or it doesn't
