Cons: Died pretty quickly in just 3 months
Overall Review: Was excited to receive this motherboard, it came in nice packaging and a decent manual. Worked great while it lasted but sadly only lasted 3 months. Can't put the full blame on AsRock every motherboard company pushes out some that have problems just a bummer when it finally happens to you. Do recommend just hope you get a working one.
