Love setting up snazzy fan curves! BUT I wish you could use GPU temps to control some of the fans... Then it would be perfect for me.

Very nice motherboard, even though i hated the red and painted it green, it was very worth it in the end... No issues with anything to do with this motherboard...

Lots of good options to play with. BIOS is so easy to use. Newegg nicely had it all up to date before shipping. Board is nicely organized, and instructions are easy to follow. Has room to expand your options and simply OC.

Since I'm quite an audiophile, the on-board chip for the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 is much appreciated. OC Genie is also very easy to use whether you're a beginner or already a pro. Dedicated USB ports for keyboards and mice added to its value, though I haven't felt much 'faster response' for my keyboard.

Happy with this purchase, great buy at this price range. It has ample SATA connectors, great on-board audio, and a nice solid build quality. If I had to nit-pick I'd say that the placing of the fan headers is a little strange, and the BIOS GUI is only okay.

This board had just enough features, with having exactly enough fan headers, and the 6 SATA ports were more then enough. Also happy with both SLI and Crossfire as an option for the future, for somewhat of a lower price. All in all, a pretty reliable board.

from completed build Melange
This has been great at everything except sound. I had my speakers plugged into the back audio panel and they were very low. I read some other reviewers who had similar issues. I could not solve the problem so I just decided to get a sound card. Now the sound is phenomenal, so I guess it really was the board. I updated all my drivers and messed with a number of different options, nothing worked. It could be the board in general, or my particular board. I am glad though that I was pushed to buy a sound card. The very inexpensive ASUS Xonar DGX is great.

from completed build First Build (well needed) (pissed off wife)
Got this because it goes great with my MSI Red build. Very easy to install and the BIOS is very simple to operate.

Had this alongside Micro Center's Intel Core i5 bundle deal, where I buy an Intel processor bundled with a Motherboard of my choice. Honestly, this was the most logical for what I needed -- and what I needed were more USB slots, for all of my peripherals. Performance on the Motherboard is also stellar, and the overclocking capabilities are amazing.
