NO SLI BRIDGE!?
It works great, but after specifically getting this mobo for it's SLI feature only to NOT receive a bridge with it really pissed me off. Now I have to hunt down one. Either that or it was left out and I am somehow that unlucky. Very disappointed.

Gaming PC
I built two of these for gaming. I used a AMD-FX3-8320, 32Gigs of 1600MHz RAM, GTX 660 OC, well I've OC'ed to 3.76GHz (3.5Ghz Out of the Box). This board has been stable and the BIOS is great

thought this would be a good mother bord
I bought this because of the 5 reiews. set it up with a AMD FX 8150 8core cpu, and a HD6450 MSI video card, with 16gb of memory. Performs well butno matter what I do the sound will not work from the HDMI on the video card nor from the onboard speaker jacks. Done everything I can just won't work. One day sound just kicked in and worked all day from hdmi and next it quit. I've even tried 3 dofferent hdmi cables. don't know what else to do.
