Reviewers Didn't Like
- High "Auto" voltage settings
- Lack of software memory timing control
- "Hybrid" nature of the board leads to many clocking features
- SATA port limited to 5Gb/s by PCIe 2.0 interface
- Only one PCIe x16 slot is wired for x16
- SATA port for Optical Drive located at bottom of board
- Second set of DIMM sockets located under the CPU cooler (YMMV)
