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.

Awesome board
MSI once again knocks it out of the park far as I'm concerned. A great AMD3+ motherboard with up to 32 gbs memory and up to 2133 clock speed what else do you need well maybe an SSD

Not good with OC'ing
This motherboard is pretty good overall. It doesn't Overclock well, but if you're not going to do that, this board will work great. It has a great pci-e design for a 970 board meaning you get x16 and x8 speed instead of x16 and x4 which allows for nvidia sli and overall gpu balance with dual gpu's

Works well
Does what it should, happy with the board, but wish it had USB3.0 connection for front panel. USB 2.0 yes, but non USB 3.0 for the front of case.
