Solid so far

Pros: Has ports for things that I didn`t even know I wanted! Would be great for a multiple harddrive setup as well with tons of SATA ports, and simple straight forward overclocking bios. Defaults to 1600 for the memory but a single option brings it up to 2133 and adjusts all the voltages and other settings to match.

Cons: None so far. Not sure if I`ll keep the blue black plastic covers on as it might make it harder to keep clean but I`ll leave them on for now.

Overall Review: The only minor thing is that the external USB and the power pins are all the way on the bottom edge. If you have a power button on top of your computer or USB's on top of your case make sure they have a long enough cable to reach the back bottom of your case or it might cause issues. I have top power buttons and USB and it just barely reached the pins on the motherboard. Not taking an Egg for that because thats an issue with my case's cord and not the Motherboard.

Good product, bad instructions

Pros: Running Planetside 2 on high 1080 at 40fps solid. Quiet as a mouse with sneakers, cannot even hear it over my CPU fan. Plenty of readily availible options to push it even futher and crossfire it if I ever have need to.

Cons: The only annoying thing is that the default output is HDMI, so if you're getting a blank screen when you first install it, try hooking it up through HDMI. Not all monitors have this feature and it seems like that would be a good thing to note in the manual.

Overall Review: So far so good. Going to keep the GPU monitoring going while I try to push it further. Will update with results.
