There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It was very easy to build on this board. It is quite heavy and does not flex much at all. ATX fitment is superb. I love the fact that this board can be flashed without a CPU installed.
My only concern is that one of the mounting holes (the one closest to the I/O shield) is pretty tough to get to without a magnetized screwdriver.
