I have this board now has good nem month in my new HTPC in use. In combination with my i5 2500k and 16GB RAM, the system runs fine. At first I had from time to BSOD, but which were related to my SSD and no longer occurred after FW update. It offers a lot of connections and possibilities of configuration in UEFI. The only drawback that I noticed was previously, that only two of three connectors for case fans are PWM-capable and, therefore, a fan always runs at full Pulle, if one has all the connections. But still a perfect score! Strong buy recommendation for a good and stable board if you do not have the space for an ATX board.
