The PCI slot for the graphics card is too close to the edge of the board.

Overall this is a decent MB for the money you are paying for. A few problems with this MB: 1. The PCI slot for the graphics card is in the wrong place and too close to the very edge of the board. If your case is about the same size as your motherboard, your graphics card will be mostly on the edge of that board and you won't get good airflow. The graphics PCI slot should be closer to the center to allow for more airflow. So if you have a powerful graphics card, I would not recommend this MB.2. Another problem is that these motherboards don't have the Q-LEDs that ASUS motherboards usually have. So it took a long time to fix this motherboard. The BIOS reset jumper is not set correctly. It's located just below the graphics card. So if you want to reset the BIOS, you need to take out the graphics card. This makes it very inconvenient.4. This MB only has 2 fan headers. So you need to buy a splitter if you need to run more fans. Hope this helps everyone. Much luck!
