What can I say, it is a great motherboard that screams quality when you handle it to install. Has all the features you need, plenty of fan headers, 2 x internal USB2 which is handy. The PCIe and RAM slots are positive too. A real pleasure to build up. One minor niggle is that if you have an RGB fan at the back of the case, the RGB over the IO is barely visible. Hardly a deal breaker though.
