New board fired right up and ran for several days, until one of my ram sticks died.
This mb outperforms the asrock mb i had, most noticeably in audio quality.
Price
More than i could ever ask for and the price is worth it!
Ready for upgrades now at a low cost.
It is a very good motherboard for the price
Competitiveness
Good value when compared to asus sabertooth or other high end boards offering similar or less features at $60 more.
I had a fx970 prior to this one, forgive me, unless i run a benchmark, i can't detect much of a difference.
I still recommend this product but it will never compare to i7 4790k.
I had to compare other boards with similar codes.
