Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great board with one exception

I bought this board with AMD 8350 and 16GB Corsair Vengence and AMD 7970 a lot of software to use with the board like OC Genie, ClickBIOS and some others. The biggest feature to get used to is ClickBios. ClickBios is an interactive BIOS menu that is similar to a smartphone menu. It doesn't have the usual sections for changing settings, so you'll have to do a bit of searching. The great thing about ClickBios is that you can also load it when you boot into Windows. My only downside is that it doesn't come with PCIE 3.0, which is my fault for not testing it before. I've only had it for about 3 weeks but for now it's great. One thing I can't stress enough is make sure you load the default BIOS settings, once you load them you'll find that the core temp is very high (65C) before you do so.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • There are new competitors
