Pros: Nice motherboard, worked right out of the box for me, has very nice overclocking capabilities, and the BIOS are very thorough for customization.
Cons: Doesn't come with a lifetime supply of beer.
Overall Review: A lot of people were saying that this mobo was DOA when they recieved theirs, and I'd say the same if I hadn't noticed something... When I mounted the motherboard for the first time, I couldn't get any power, and nor would it boot. I later realized that if the screws are too tight, and the mobo came into contact with the metal on my case, it simply wouldn't boot. But when I placed the foam tha came in the box behind the motherboard (between it and the side of the case) it booted up just fine. Make sure you try and place something there if yours doesn't boot, and before you jump the gun on returning it.
