Cons: Despite this card listing itself as "SLI ready" it doesn't come with an SLI bridge, maybe "SLI compatible" would be less deceiving.
Pros: Functional, sturdy card. Colour scheme and aesthetics are a nice touch. Comment:
A bit frustrated to have spent $1600 or so on a new rig and not being able to set it up properly because of a missing $5 item. If it had been made explicitly clear that it wasn't included I could have found an alternate source while waiting for everything to ship. It is still a good performing card, especially if you can grab it on sale. |

Cons: None at all
Pros: Beautiful DesignSLI ReadyWell laid outOC GenieEasy to use BIOSOverclocks very easily Comment:
Purchased this as part of my first computer build and couldnt be more happy. I was question whether or not to go Asus or MSI, was leaning towards Asus at the time, but after some reviews, ultimately decided on this board. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a good MOBO for a decent price that performs extremely well |

Cons: Add-ins
Pros: Features, Look, Price Comment:
This is a fantastic Mobo for a budget to moderate gaming system. It looks very cool for a windowed case, and has all the features like SLI/Crossfire, USB 3.0, SATA6 and even a slot for a mSATA SSD right on the board. Although it comes with a cool badge and door hangar, it only comes with some locking SATA cables in addition. Manual is good, but I have found ASUS boards include more extras like cables, connectors, etc. All-in-all and excellent buy though... would definitely purchase again. |

Cons: None yet.
Pros: Looks awesomeGreat softwarePlenty of USB (2.0/3.0) and SATA headersCool bonuses Comment:
I ordered this for my first build and mated it up with an MSI GTX 760 and i5-4670k. The OC genie software is very easy to use, and the color combo (if you're into that stuff) looks great in my case. Lots of sensors to keep an eye on temps. Would use it again any time. |

Cons: Audio Boost light is pink not red,very minor issue
Pros: Amazing build qualityGreat on board sound and LANRed dragon accents look amazingLots of inputs Comment:
This is a great board when compared to the others. This board has the best onboard LAN and sound compared to the others. OC Genie is also useful for a small performance bump, but manual overclocking is still better. With Haswell you type in the multiplier and a core voltage that makes sense and the board will change the voltage based on what the cpu needs. No crashes or stability issues so far. Very good board! |

Cons: None so far
Pros: Form factorGreat on-board LAN and soundGoodly number of USB 2.0 and 3.0Excellent driver and utility software support Solid as a spikey death trap Comment:
This MB is beautiful with its dragon-themed heat sink, and comes with a door knocker and a case sticker that has the same dragon on them. The T-shirt can't hurt either. I got this with MSI GTX 760, and the overclocking software (OC Genie) makes the whole process so easy. At a click of your CPU, RAM, and GPU are all OC'ed with just a single boot. I check the number: multiplier and voltage settings for everything, and they are actually spot-on! A process that takes hours can now be done in minutes.The actual color of the heat sinks is more like metallic purple than the bright red in the pictures here. Still it is one of the best looking MB's, and it just works well, and is actually unreasonably solidly build. I did some terrible things to this beauty, but fortunately it didn't break. It was like "Nope, I'll break this steel case first before I break." So, yeah. Buy it when it goes on sale, or just buy now. Highly recommended. |
great looking and performing product, matches asus and msi video cards. its better to get this one rather than the g43 due to the fact that it does away with the pci slots for more pcie slots.
