Pros: Works as advertised. Great performance for the price. Windows 7 needs hotfixes, but linux/W8 will be able to utilize architecture more efficiently. Don't wait though - great buy. I was able to OC to 4GHz (H100) 30C/42C.

Cons: Stock cooler is better than the one that comes with the FX-4100. I still wouldn't use it with this. Go with an aftermarket cooler.

Pros: Works well External Antenna with alternate mounting options Solid connectors

Cons: Antenna cable length could be a foot longer and wouldn't hurt much with cable routing if it is too long.

Pros: This board has worked very well for me over the past few months. I paired it with a E3-1275 and it works like a champ. I installed ESXi onto a 16GB flash drive in one of the on-board headers with no real problems. Had to switch around boot settings in the BIOS, but nothing extreme. I am using an Adaptec 6805 Raid card with 6 WD Red drives which have been giving me no problems at all. Running 32GB Corsair low profile memory (non-ECC) with no issues whatsoever. Booting up takes a while for me, but I am fairly certain that if I were to install Windows and run SATA from the board it would speed up the boot process.

Cons: Wish it had an HDMI port instead of a DVI port, or at least both. I have it sitting next to my TV and have to bring a monitor out to it if I need to access the BIOS.

Overall Review: Haven't tried updating the BIOS since everything works like it should now, but had a AM3+ Sabertooth that bricked when using the Asus Flash utility and had to buy another BIOS chip. I won't be trying anything like that with this as long as nothing is broken.

Pros: Installed in a 550D case. Using the fans that come with the case and the H100 in a push config, I get around 30C idle/42C load on a FX-8120. OC'ed to 4GHz too.

Cons: None

Pros: Good quality case. I own a 550D and this is the same quality with a few less features and cost-saving measures. Very happy with the purchase.

Cons: Wish it had a filter for side panel. Would have paid a dollar or two more for one.

Pros: Lots of space Fast transfer speeds in the neighborhood of 100-150MB/s

Cons: None
