Not sure why these have been getting bad reviews online but I've used both G41 and G43 and found it was easy to use and a great board for a budget system. The UEFI was not the best but it was straight forward and very easy to set up. It just lacks accessories and features like SLI and O/C. Though it says it is O/C capable, I would not buy this board for O/C. Overall great bang for the buck.

This mobo is better then the Z68 (other brand) i bought. The board is solid, parts are good quality. Solid caps. The Bios is a new kind, a little bit confuse to surf on. Good thing, its the first mouse using on BIOS i see. Seems to be a little bit slow to boot with you do upgrade on Windows 7. Anyway, its not so important. MSI seems to have upgrade their quality now.

being one of the cheaper z66 chipset board, there's nothing much special. It has a good and easy to use bios interface, but without many of the advance options that hardcore oc fans would need.
