Great Product

I got this board with AMD FX-4100. Nervous at first, but the board came with the correct bios and recognized the cpu. 8GB of Visiontek memory and this new system is smokin! Was able to hit 4.4Ghz on stock cooling. Has a nice fail-safe bios when the overclock doesn't take, resets to factory settings. Great board for the price.
