Pros: Great looking RAM Really fast for the speed Great for gaming and video encoding.

Cons: They are still extremely fast but Its a pain I'm not getting what I paid for.

Overall Review: I've been the owner of these chips for a few months now and love them. But my Maximus IV keeps having to revert them down to 1866. I've tried putting the XMP speed to 2133 but it keeps failing when windows boots up.

Pros: -Spacious, extremely well organized board -Lots of fan headers for cases with a lot of air cooling -I actually really enjoy the UEFI and all of the extra software that comes packed inside. -6 SATA 6GB/s Ports - Really great for paranoid people like me who raid their main and extra drives. Also really great if you have more then one SSD -I know this isn't a main feature but i really dig the led from SupremeFX and other lights on the board, mixed with the other red and white LEDs in my case it makes the board stand out. -The audio on this is absolutely amazing, I have 7.1 speakers hooked to it and the sound quality is amazing -Optical audio in port, Allowed me to run my XBOX's audio to it and out the 7.1 speakers. Which is great for people that don't have recievers and use their computers as a hub for their tvs -The wifi card built in with a bluetooth card, my last PCI card only got up to 300kb/s, this one is topping 2.5mb/s -I'm recommending this board to all of my customers, I build gaming machines for my community.

Cons: -Had a problem with the UEFI EZ Settings, for some reason when i would set it to performance it would set my ram (G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB DR3 2133) to 2134 and it would cause a memory dump BSOD. -After a BIOS update and all software updates still got the BSOD when trying to play games. -Finally had to go into the UEFI advance mode and change the profiles. *-This isn't really a con at all cause i wouldn't take an egg off for it. The board is still amazing, but this might be a problem for people who don't know what really to do.-*

Overall Review: I really am impressed by this board, I upgraded from an old Phenom to this with and i5 3579K and Ares 2133 8GB ram. Matched with my MSI Geforce 670 card im ready to start 3dMark11 testing soon to see how much more powerful it got. Like i said this is a definate buy if you can afford it, I will be putting these in all of the systems i build from now on.
