Great board for the money

I heard about a problem with the thermal pads on this board, but I haven't had any problems. Great board, easy to use bios, vrm active fans are almost silent. WARNING: The SODIMM Heat Sync screws are over tightened. I safely removed them with (000 Phillips) with a piece of tape underneath for extra hold and gap filling. So I didn't tear off the screws. I ended up having to install mods without a heatsink because they wouldn't fit between the graphics card and the thick h80i v2 heatsink.
