This is a good board with a lot of features. I don’t completely understand all of them. For example, it has a parallel and serial header (but hey if you don’t need them just don’t use them). A little frustrated that it only has 2 chassis fan headers. Other than that, the CPU power connector is not oddly placed which is always a good thing.I love everything about this motherboard, it’s personal taste probably but I’m all about those golden finishes, they are beautiful, the board has tons of expansion and ports, and at only 129 euros, I thought I scored a deal. The BIOS is very intuitive. You can’t go wrong with ASUS.
