Recommend HTPC Build
I got one of this for myself after building a home server client setup for one of my client. I was impressed with its performance and its features and had to have a HTPC as well of the same hardware. Running a FX 6100 AMD processor and 16GB ddr3 memory. The server holds 10TB of raw storage, with the OS and the Media Server running on 120GB SSD drive in separate partitions. Streaming media to several clients simultaneously didn't even slow it down one bit. A very nice addition to my home network. I highly recommend having one.

Mighty Fine
This is a real nice board. Visually attractive and rock solid performance. I've do have 2 complaints, which shouldn't stop you from buying this board. 1) Why no USB 3.0 header for the front usb ports? Heck, why aren't all the usb ports 3.0? 2) The power led flashes when unit is sleeping. Totally annoying.

Bought two of these and both work great!
There's no other board I recommend now, good build quality with best price to performance. Great for SLI and fx-8350, OC Genie is great, Bios is fantastic. Will buy again!

Great Product
Got the motherboard in and had all drivers downloaded before I installed it. Installation was a breeze. Took the FX-8350 and 16 GB RAM without any issue. Only have been running it for about 4 days but so far so good.

Amazing product.
I used this board in my most recent build. 64gb SSD win7 home premium, 3tb HDD, AMD FX-4100 OC'd to 4.2ghz (coolermaster V8 heatsink), 2 gtx 660's running in SLI, 8gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance ram. This mobo ties it all together and does it extremely well. It's packed full of features, and you just can't beat SLI on an AMD board. Overclocks extremely well, SLI had no bugs whatsoever, and the UEFI bios is great. Extremely pleased with this board, would definitely order more given the amazing price.
