In daily use, it has been rock solid reliable. It has 4+1 VRM instead of 3+1 which is much better if you are running a 6 or 8 core CPU, especially if you intend to overclock. Construction, component quality, layout and design is excellent, as is the online support for updates etc.

The board I received from Scan was version 3.0, which is the latest revision/version. I was very pleased about that, as it meant there was no need to flash/update the BIOS to support the latest FX6300 CPU I purchased with it.
−
Not really a bad point, but this board would not suit someone intending to connect legacy IDE peripherals (old HDD's etc.), as the legacy/redundant IDE ports are absent on this modern board.
