Customer reviews
Fantastic motherboard. Love this thing, and have had no issues with it. Setup was easy, bios is updated and has nice UI. Aesthetically pleasing in my case. A short list of products I used in this build is below. The only thing I wish I could do, or at least I haven't figured out how yet, is to control the RGB lighting on the mother board. Also, would like to turn it off sometimes. Even with the computer off the lights remain illuminated. No big deal to me tho as I like the lights. And like I said there may be a way I just haven't figured it out yet.Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, BlackIntel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151 [BX80662I76700K]Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit – White (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W)Phanteks Enthoo PRO M Acrylic Window Computer Case, Anthracite Gray Edition PH-ES515PA_AG
