Cons: Having some problems with OCing and using all RAM slots.
Pros: Performance, price, band, appearance, SLI and Crossfire support Comment:
I got this to replace another motherboard. I like the new features such as USB3 and SLI/Crossfire support on the same board and from AMD.I've tried using 4x4gb G-Skill 1600 RAM and ran into a number of problems trying to get it to boot. Many times I had to clear the BIOS settings. I finally got it to work and is prime stable but not sure if it will proove to be game stable. That was one reason I upgraded to this board.The UEFI setup is nice, but the way you use the mouse in it is still somewhat buggy. |

Cons: - PCI (please stop wasting space with the PCI slots); if you spend $150+ are you that cheap that you cannot upgrade your arcane Sound/NIC/etc. card; not a big deal, just silly.- Driver CD should either have a check-box style selection to permit easier driver installation, while skipping Norton "Insecurity", since I did not want to install "ALL".
Pros: - Very good component layout- Sufficient fan headers (2x 4-pin)- No driver issues (so far)- UEFI/BIOS is well and neatly layed out- Pricematched at 148.50 Comment:
This board replaced a (personally fryed) ASUS M4N82 Deluxe. I did not reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. After accepting the BIOS setting, up on Windows boot up (at the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen) it took about 30 sec's to load mouse and keyboard drivers; logging in allowed me to remove all nForce chipset drivers and install new ones. Had to reactive a couple of programs: MS Office 2010 and AutoCAD 2008, which (thankfully) was a breeze; supprisingly SolidWorks and Adobe Acrobat 9 standard did not have to be...so far.==========================>>>System set-up at the time of review:CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T BERAM: Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G 2X4GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECCVid: PNY Quadro 2000PSU: Corsair AX750SSD: G.Skill Pheonix Pro 120GBOS: MS Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1HS: Corsair H60So far, I am happy I went with this board as an intermediary/survival upgrade, even though I was not planning to upgrade.

I love this motherboard!! It's got every port you could want, including spots for 4 case fans (run Q-Fan, it rocks). One problem I, as well as opthers, seem to experience is a "triple-boot" where the board posts twice without "finding drives" before booting up normally. just turn off the splash screen to get fine speed through this delay.
