Pros
-Sleek design(black on black)
-overclockable
-came in rev. 4
-price point (got it on sale for 119.99)
-many possibilities to expand in the future
-It works right out of the box
|
Cons
-none so far
|
Summary
Very affordable for what you get! Was very surprised when i opened the box and got the rev.4. Paired this with a FX8320 oc at 4.4mhz and runs very silent even at high load. I would highly suggest for high end builds but bare in mind no air cooler if u oc over 4.4 for it will heat up. Right now im using a cooler master hyper 212 evo and at idle im getting about 9c and at load 64c. Also ive added several extra fans in the case to achieve these temps(4 noctua nf12 120mm fans and a pci slot fan under the video card as exhaust so that the hot air from card doesnt go through the case). Overall im very impressed with the mother board, very easy to over clock if you know where to look. I do admit there is a lack of options but lets face it for the price point, it's well worth it. UEFI bios is very easy to comprehend (overclock multipliers, voltage, ram overclock etc.)
