Great and Stable Motherboard

Strengths: Great set of features. All Japanese Solid capacitors.

Weakness: Power Connector placement can be sort of an issue. There are no Memory timing adjustments option.

It can be used for an HTPC build or even for a budget gaming machine. Hybrid SLI (Hybrid Power) works flawless. As previously stated, the power connector placement can be a problem, but it depends on the case and the power supply position. Finally this board packs quite a punch.
