There are some interesting features on this board for PC enthusiasts and overclockers that makes it easier to tweak their systems. The heatsink/copper heatpipe design for dissipating the heat is a terrific feature seen on premium motherboards only. For a budget mainstream AMD board you do get a lot of support however I would of liked to see a firewire header on the motherboard which was not there. Also, the use of the switch card was not very clear and I found out that having to use it to run the HD4870 GPU I installed at x16 instead of x8 on the PCIe slot. Other than that I was pleased that the new AM3 Phenom CPU was detected without issues. All round for the price you cant go wrong, since its under $100 for what your getting other boards cost more.
