Durable, Fast, & Works Great!,
Booted first time. Good documentation. Loaded with i7-3930K cpu, 32GB DDR3-1600MHz, SSD, & 2TBx2 in RAID0. Nice to have 6 SATA3 ports, and front & back 1394 & USB3.0. Using all 4 fan headers too. Easy to use and upgrade BIOS. Just using $10 gfx until PCIe3.0 cards arrive. Easy to install & attach everything!

This motherboard is a beast! So much RAM, PCIe x16x2 and x8, LGA 2011. My computer registers as a 7.7 on the windows Experience index. Graphics card (EVGA 560 Ti) is 7.8, RAM (16GB Corsair Vengeance) is 7.9, and the Processor is an i7 3820 which is the bottleneck at 7.7. I am not complaining about that though. It’s wicked fast.
The only complaint I have is finding a cooler for it… With my extremely tall Corsair Vengeance RAM, I had to get Corsair’s H80, and that still touches the RAM closest to the radiator..
Overall, I wish I had gotten the Corsair Vengeance LP RAM, but I’m happy as is.
Highly recommend.

I have had this mobo for a few months now and it has caused me one headache after another, the latest problem is my entire system just locks up, with out warning and no indication in any of the windows 7 logs as to why the only thing that can be done is to hit the reset button.
I have tried more than 5 times to contact this companies tech support department for assistance and have yet to get a reply back.
I will never buy another product from this vendor and strongly suggest that if you are looking for a reliable motherboard that you pay a few bucks more and get one you can depend on, with a tech support department that will actually respond to support questions.
