I am very happy with this board. It is a good price and works well for my application. I am using it with a 128GB M.2 SSD to improve time for boot and wake.

Two words of caution:

Mine came with the 1.0 BIOS installed. The current revision of the BIOS is 1.3. (as of July 4, 2014) I had to upgrade the BIOS to 1.3 to get this product to wake from sleep properly. It would wake from hibernate properly, but not from sleep. With the 1.3 BIOS it was fine.

Be careful about reflashing the BIOS, I used M-Flash from within the BIOS and did not have any problems -- but many people online seemed to have problems reflashing MSI BIOS from Windows using another technique.

This is a great, feature rich board. Has great SATA, USB 3, 8 Pin Connector and other item placement across the board. Only problem I had was that it shipped with BIOS version 1.0. Devil's canyon CPU support doesn't start until 1.2. When I flashed my BIOS on the board with my 4690k in it, it bricked. I am now having to send it in for RMA to get fixed.

This mobo is just amazing, it's everything I could've wished for, excellent performance. I was considering going with asus first but I did some reasearch and found this mobo to be a very good solid piece of hardware, I'm not planning on overclocking yet you have the option to do so if you desire with this. Not only it performs extremely well, it has a very premium look to it, and also the design is just so beautiful, the heatsink is designed as if it were dragon claws, awesome! look it up on youtube and you'll instantly fall in love with it and will buy it!

Great motherboard! I was considering going ASUS, but then I saw this, and thought it looked a lot nicer. Right-angle USB 3 header and all. This motherboard has great features including M.2 support, a great bios and good overclocking features. The digital cpu temperature read out on the board is also a nice touch.

Looks amazing and comes with some cool goodies. (A little metal plate you can put on your case and a door hanger like at hotels). Works great as a MoBo haven't had any problems with it.

I got the motherboard today installed and it works fine but then I decided to update the bios. I updated the bios exactly how it was instructed through the bios screen. The bios went through the whole process to update and when it said it finished updated it said it was going to reboot and now the system won't even post at all. I have been building computers for 20 years and this is the first time I have ever seen bios get messed up during update.

I got the replacement motherboard, same one. I didn't flash the bios this time, left as is. haven't had any problems at all.
