I purchased this board to perform a low-cost upgrade on my machine. Coupled with an i5 760 processor, it seems to have been a rock solid choice thus far. The board has a very clean and functional layout with connections placed where you would normally expect to find them. Additionally, both PCI-E slots are spaced apart enough to allow fairly large cards to be placed in an SLI or Crossfire configuration without interfering with the rest of the board too much. On the downside, I have found this board to be slightly finicky when attempting to overclock manually. However, the included easy OC switch is a nice touch for those who want a modest boost in performance without the hassle of manual tweaking. Overall, a very good product for the price.

Runs my computer at 3.8 GHZ with no problems at all. I updated the BIOS without a problem as well. It seems to have helped with many of the bugs I was previously experiencing.

This is a value motherboard. Overclocking is not the best... I could only get my cpu to run fully stable at 3.8GHZ. I can run 4GHZ but not 100% stable.
This board is excellent for a budget build. However, if you plan on doing any decent overclocking on the CPU, you will need to invest on some extra cooling for the power phase controllers as they can peak up to 120C during CPU intensive tasks (had prime running for 30 minutes before I took notice of the temp and decided to investigate with an open bench test). I installed a 5cm fan on top of the heatsink. It idles at around 41-44C and peaked up to 80C with an open bench prime test with my i5 760 at 4.0Ghz. Other than that the board is a great value.

I used this Mobo to build my first PC. I wanted to do a relatively cheap build that I could upgrade later if I wanted to make a gaming PC or whatever. I'm running it with an i3/4gb ram/350w ps/cheapo ATI 4350 video card. What can I say? It worked like a charm first time I turned it on, and a few weeks later it hasnt blown up or anything. Now I have the option of putting in a nice processor or a couple of video cards if I want.
