Pros: I received this board on time and even before I opened it I was impressed, It was not a lite board like some others I have ran across. After opening the package and looking at the documentation I was really happy the instructions where clear and precise I have built a few PC's in my time but was new to the newer equipment. I seen some bad reviews on here and it almost scared me away but I am glad I did other research and after a long search I decided on this . I had a REALLY easy built putting this into my Blackhawk case and am also happy with it. I do not overclock but do game and don't see a need. I run it about 8 to 12 hours a day and have had it 5 months now and have had NO problem . The BIOS is so much better then my old p4 and a lot better then some other PC's I see. I am going with MSI video card next It will not be EVGA because they kept returning a dead card to me 5 times over I have never had a problem with MSI . GREAT PRODUCT . Anyone building a pc my advice is simple make SURE!!! you do not let static get to your components I have seen so many so called TECHS fry their build doing it on carpet not using a wrist strap or anything. I ground myself out and do my build in my non carpeted kitchen. I seen some bad reviews and have told people about this board and 3 others have used it and have had no problems . More advice I only put in the drivers I hate that bloat ware and I don't use live update I put in windows then did bios update and drivers through their website witch also was nice and simple . I also LOVE the L.E.D. it shows CPU temp and their is also a row of status L.E.D's both can be turned off I do believe . Stable and fast and low power consumption . Thanks MSI!!!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Those having problems had a bad one or they did a bad job my experience is there will always be some bad products come out of a factory but when it comes to PC building it is usually due to excitement and not taking time to read and also like I said static electricity.
