Pros: The board design, layout, and features are all excellent.

Cons: The first motherboard arrived DOA and would not post. I wasted much time trying to troubleshoot the problem. While I waited for the RMA, I bought a "temporary" motherboard and experienced no problems. I rebuilt the system again with the RMA replacement and the board failed after one month. I rebuilt with the "temporary"motherboard and my system is running fine. I have lost my trust in ASRock and decided to eat the cost since there is not a refund policy.

Overall Review: I could not figure out how to have the cpu fan speed controlled by the temperature of the cpu. The BIOS and software do not seem to work in this regard.
