Great Motherboard

This is my second MSI mobo and it was a piece of cake. I had no problems with my build and it has not presented any since. (about 15 mos)I highly recommend this board to anyone that would like a hassle free build.

Lost of USB and good sound

This board is a great base for your system. Good design as most things are easily accessible at any point during a system build. Lots of USB ports. This is the first time I've ever not used a dedicated sound card and I've been very impressed by the quality of the built in audio.

Non-User Friendly

The mobo is sensitive and very specific. If you put the 2 in 1 receiver for mouse and keyboard (well, i only use the keyboard) and put another mouse on usb, this mobo breaks down and it freeze on the installation of windows and in the bootup menu. And when you put the sata 2 cd-rom to sata 3 it wont work, in ASUS it does. I wont buy this mobo anymore unless it is the last resort because it is not user-friendly.
