Main advantages: support for SLI and CrossFireX in x8 / x8, 4 USB 3.0 ports, eight SATA 6Gbps ports including 4 ports, SATA ports are bent which facilitates cable management. Otherwise, the connection is complete, both on the rear panel on the card itself. Only flaw: the ram is overclocked, but enough capriciously. But I do not put directly in issue the motherboard, it can come from my RAM too! We can also blame him for having only two USB 2.0 on the rear panel. I find that limit because this interface is far from obsolete, and even if it is backward compatible, 4-port would have been welcome, just to have 8 ports on the I / O panel The price / quality ratio is very good.
