Quality


With its exceptional performance, robust build, and extensive feature set, it has earned its place as the heart of my gaming rig.


It made for an easy build and fit well in the atx mid tower case.


During the initial boot of the build, one of the lights pointed at the right places to make it much less stressful that it could've been.

    The only issue that i found was that sound was challenging to figure out i was getting no sound and thought my board was defective


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As it turned out after reading about the issue with this mobo there appears to be an issue with sound configuration


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My fix was to set the default sound in the windows device manager as 34speakers34 and i havent had a problem since
