Super board once installed and running

Great board but it does have a couple of quirks. Will not pick up bottom expansion slot and USB3 jack at the same time until Operating System is operating. Cannot use IDE board for booting but will fully utilize board under windows. was super easy to install and configure. Seems a waste running under Windows XP 32 bit but runs real smooth.

Yes and no

I went with the MB when I decided to go with the new APUs. I went with a Quad core CPU and over all it is not as fast as my AM3 Quad. I would switch back but I love this MB. It has everything I could want on it, wish I could stick my AM3 chip on it. Great board and you should go with it if building an APU system.

so good so far

I just bought this barebone to make a new HTPC. After replacing power suply and case (for a Silverstone), I enjoy all others items. The motherboard is really well done, easy to install easy to plug, easy to set. Everything works fine even on Windows 8. I'm surprise to do not have any trouble. Really happy of my new AMD computer.
