It's a sharp looking board. I like how it comes with a power button on the actual mobo itself for tinkering purposes. I haven't utilized the MemOK function because I haven't needed to. I particularly love the onboard sound CODEC they use. It identified my Sennheiser HD 598 require more power than most, so it auto-boosted it to appropriate levels. They sound fantastic.
Update 09/24/2017: I originally gave this board 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought it came with a faulty RAM slot. It's a lesson as to why you shouldn't build when you're tired. Apparently, if you only have 2 pieces of RAM, you want to use A2 and B2 exclusively. If you have 4, you can then use A1 and B1 as well.
Thanks to Michael for commenting and setting me straight. That's what Amazon reviews are for :)
