Review : Great!
Excellent motherboard. Used as part of my first desktop build, easy to get set up, the manual was helpful in finding the various headers. Some of the utilities you get with the CD are not needed, XFastLan / Boot. In my case I forgot fast boot was on which restarts your PC and saves state of the log-in screen on your SSD, new to the concept I thought I hit restart by mistake and held the power off button. The machine would not start up after this, I had to insert my Windows CD to have it boot the OS (without installing, just to kick-start the process). Otherwise a very solid piece of kit. Very pleased with the purchase.
