I hesitated to take this motherboard model not well known yet great on paper, I tried it and I'm not disappointed. It has everything you need for a big gamer and a clockeur, stability of PCI express lines is impressive. I compared it to a motherboard of high level: the Maximus IV Extreme-Z. They are equal on all points, but ASRock wins the round on some points: - PCI Express Lines better placed (in quad SLI / CFX in aircooling) - Up to 12 USB 3.0 - 10 Sata taken - A stable PCI Express copy in any case with a single graphics card (to do with more) However, I noted a big flaw in this ASRock: PCI Express port center is wired as x4. In sum, if you intended to do 3-Way with a spacing slot, you will lose because of x4, unfortunately.
