Review : So far so good
I've been using this motherboard for a little while, and although I have yet to overclock in any drastic measure, all the other features are going well.

It doesn't have a vga port, which could be an issue for some people, but it wasn't for me as I have a separate graphics card. So far I haven't received any error messages relating the the board (eg, usb bandwidth overloads) which were commonplace on my old board, and it runs my AMD Phenom x6 without throttling (again a common issue on my old board).

I'll comment again when i've had a chance to overclock but for now, it's a really stable board, especially within this price range.
