First impressions of the board where amazing. Going from a ASROCK Exreme 4 was substantial. reusing everything that I had before normal actions where smoother and faster. the BIOS is a little hard to navigate coming from the Asrock UEFI which I think was better organized. trying to run two Graphics cards in x16 is impossible, Unless cards are water cooled. Only two slots support x16 the rest are x8. The top most slot and the 3rd down Black slot can be sli/x-fired in x16 PICE3.0 But due to them being so close slot 1 card will overheat. I have not attempted to overclock yet. But did find that there is a tremendous amount of ability to fine to the system to your liking.
This motherboard is wonderful, plain and simple. It has so much room for expansion, I barely know what to do with it all. It even tells you whats wrong with it, with its Q-code LED screen onboard. You can even turn off unused PCI-E slots to save power and ever so slightly increase performance speed. If there was one thing at all that I was disappointed with, it was that the combo card didn't come with the small storage drive you can put in it, but that's just me being picky. All in all, I have full confidence this board will last me many years into the future with no age problems.
i had a couple issues, but it was not the motherboard. in the description it was supposed to come withe the cables, sli bridges, etc it did not. only the backing plate and the board.
