Out of box its very easy to configure. Overclocking has been made easy with a push of a button; however, despite the built in one step overclocking, the feature doesn't allow optimal settings without unadvised undocumented manipulating. Not a real problem since manual overclocking is still quite functional. 10 rear i/o usb ports which could retire an external hubs, but no rear I/O esata port(s). This feature would require a third party medium such as a chassis that has the built in support that affixes to the onboard internal usb for external esata usage. Maybe a good idea to make sure your chasis has the support if building from scratch. The board is rated good for the follow reasons. If you need alot of usb ports this board has it covered, but on the other hand esata is becoming more popular and for long term ease and accessibility of newly integrated devices, having the ports on i/o already built in would have covered that base. Moving forward the built in overclocking utility makes it easy to overclock, but it does not calculate the optimal overclock setting in any case, for better options manually overclocking is the best choice. Lastly, despite the lack of a second pcie slot, intermediate enthusiast can still take advantage of the latest single slot video card solutions which should be suffice for most gaming applications.Read full review
Very Nice product, 10 usb ports. Decent card. No med-high end MB but still a good choice for a gaming rig. NO SLI OR CROSSFIRE. But you can buy a GTX295... like I did ... so issue resolved. Small DrMos Heatsink... but does it job. I would rate this 9 of 10 just for the VRM heatsink... but besides that....great product... and CHEAP.
