The motherboard is overall very good for the basic consumer. However for the power hungry gamers and/or computer techs, like myself, you would have a few limitations on what other parts you can use. One problem is it can only support AMD CPU's with up to 95watts. My CPU was a 125watt so I had a few bugs with my rig that neither I nor several of my computer tech contacts could figure out until two months later (this limit should have been listed in the specifications but wasn't). The other limitation it has is that it has no PATA ports so you can't put your old hard-drive in to transfer data and you can only use SATA. So be careful what parts you get for it, they might not work.

Pros: Good performance for the basic user and has nice overclocking features if you know how to get into the BIOS.

Cons: Can't use a CPU over 95watts and can't use PATA drives

Installed this board in two customer builds this past week and have no problems other than Win7 unable to recognize and select appropriate drivers for the on-board NIC. Works well with FX-8120 processor, even without firmware/BIOS update.

Got this for my AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition and 8GB of Kingston Hyper X RAM, and this is an awesome, simple board, haven't OC'ed my processor yet (probably not going to either). Only issue I ran into was I had to disable the 2.2TB thing in BIOS for the W7 64bit install to detect the drives.

its a good board but as i learned later once i received all the parts to build the computer this was destined for this board has limitations. i ordered an fx 6200 amd cpu that runs at 125 watts. this board can handle up to 95 watt cpu. nowhere in the description does it say this. and i learned by reading the negative reviews this part had received. so all in all it is not what i wanted

I was on a tight budget building a new computer so I went with this because it had everything I needed at a cheap price. The onboard video is worthless to me because I wanted a higher performance video card for video editing. It only has three expansion slots and one is the video card but that was OK with me because I do not plan to add any cards. The big problem with this MB is the sound does not work with Windows 7. Prior to installing Windows 7, I was running Ubuntu and the sound worked fine. After countless hours reading forums of people with the same problem with MSI/Realtek/Windows 7 sound not working and countless hours of installing, re-installing new bios updates and audio drivers I finally gave up. Since my video card has HDMI, I just bought a new monitor with speakers and a headphone jack and now I have sound through the HDMI. I might go back so day and see if MSI/Realtek/Windows 7 have resolved their compatability issues, but for now I am content with the monitor. Other than the sound it seems to be working well with the CPU, RAM and video card.
