One of the best things this board has is the use of memory, It will set up memory that is finicky or that would not run on other boards. This really helps and with just a few reboots you are up and running and installing your Op system.
The placement of the Sata ports makes it harder when using the Mid tower cases.
On a full tower it does not matter.
The Bios on this board are amazing and work as they say. Very easy to understand for those who are learning to use the settings in the Bios or overclocking.
If you want a fast AMD board then this is the one to get. The new Six Cores from AMD work great with the Bios version that comes with the board, that helps quite a lot.
If you are into AMD then this is the one to get.
