Pros: Lots of features and made me a troubleshoot master

Cons: Would post when it wants

I had hells trying to get this board to work. One day the board would work fine next day it wouldn't even post not a beep from the system speaker. I tried each and every troubleshooting known to man to no avail almost lost my mind trying to get this board up and running but had no luck.

I have had this board since Fall 2010 and has been working like a dream for me ever since, It even has decent overclocking abilities and not to mention the core unlocking features. I think you may have just got a dud

I had this board before buying my current rig, It worked already, Never really had issues.
Couldn't overclock for ***** however, That might have been the CPU however. couldn't even hit 4ghz under water and it was a old Phenom II x4 965 BE

Never gave me any of the above issues however. All in all, good board if you need a lot of RAM and don't intend to OC

well i lived in the USA i would've RMA in a heart beat unfortunately i live in the caribbean so it would cost me more 2 RMA than the cost of the board itself however i bought a solid gigabyte board to replace it and it never failed me.

Sorry to hear you've had such a hard time but I've built four systems for family and friends using this mobo and all four perform real well. One is currently my backup rig running 4013 MHz with a 28xxMHz NB Freq. It might not be the strongest OCing board but for a budget board it does very well. No complaints from me.
