Pros: Seems stable, decent bios, no major complaints. I would definitely buy again.
Cons: As mentioned previously, they don't ship the TPM module with the board. You can order it directly from asrock for 10 dollars with shipping included which isn't bad. They were very nice when I talked to them though.
Overall Review: Also, to the above reviewer. Intel doesn't offer AMT with 'K' processors - this isn't a problem with the motherboard. Everyone should check with the intel spec sheets to confirm their processor supports AMT. I had to get the i5 3570 instead of the 3570k (you don't need a processor to support AMT to use this motherboard, you just can't use AMT without a processor that supports it). Intel AMT is working alright - I can't seem to get KVM with TLS encryption working on the board, but I'll try with the Microsoft AMT software instead of the open source Intel Version. The Asrock support is in California, which is actually helpful. There was no queue for support.
