Good overall performance and nice features

I ordered this motherboard after my MSI 890GX got toasted third time in a span of 5 months. First of all don't buy MSI products right now, they have horrendous quality control and most of their Graphic cards and motherboards are faulty, the poor quality phase power on the boards and VRAM overheating has plagued even the top model of their boards, while their graphic cards have been over-volted beyond the nVidia decremented voltages. Since I was a little tight on my budget, I had only few opt...

Rock Solid.. !!!!!!!

This board has many things against the price it offers... Definitely a gaming board.. USB 3.0 with Xfast usb software works like charm. A great motherboard to have when you want the best in tight budget.

Awesome.... !!!

compare it to asus AMD boards, its way better and can make any mobo twice its price to shame...

i m using FX8320 OC to 4gz, mobo temp shows 36 deg on long hours of high end gaming.

So its good with two heat sinks at north bridge and south bridge.

Go for it guys!!!!

AS really Rocks

Pros : Chipset is awesome, build quality is premium, chips used to build the mother board is excellent. On board BIOS reset good feature. Feel like tough and rock solid in hand. Works also rock solid style.

Good mother board.

Cons : Careful no on board VGA (you must need a Graphics card to run your monitor).

As a gaming series mother board, as it works I give it a 5star (5/5).

Great Product,Great value for money (No Integrated Graphics)

This one is packed with Features and works well with the AMD FX 8350 Processor I have. Has everything you need from a good System Board, easy to install. Gives option for Fron usb 3.0. SLI compatible. Other products with these features are way more expensive than this one.

Just an FYI there is no integrated Graphics in this one so you must have a separate Graphics Card.

Perfect for my rig

Excellent motherboard with lots of options. Great for gaming and Video Editing. I know many boards have LED indicators, but the 2-character code during boot that is displayed in the event of an error during start-up by this board saved me from so much additional trial, error and frustration when going about my most recent home-build. The manual is well written (rare these days for computer equipment) and had a list of all the error codes, allowing me to see that I had a bad DIMM which was not...

Awesome MB

I would strongly recommend to go for it. I personally reviewed a lot on Internet and have finally decided to go for it. Quality is awesome and the manuals are great for those who would like to set up the MB by themselves. Go for it.

A stealthy performer

This is one unique product. The marketing is kept low profile. The features are on par with any other pro-gaming motherboards. My current configuration:
AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 3.4 Ghz (3 years old)
12 GB RAM running at 1600 Mhz (you'll have to set this in the UEFI/BIOS and doesn't work in default like any other motherboard)
Radeon R9 270X 2GB Overclocked edition

The boot time is reduced from 55 secs to 16 secs to reach Windows 8 login due to UEFI (I dont have an SSD)

The manual is n...

About Flipkart not about motherboard.

I received this product 2 days back and when i started to assemble my PC .
Boom, the motherboard is not working. I went to the service centre and they said the motherboard chipset is dead.

Now i called the flipkart customer care and they need 24 hours just to confirm this from the technical team.

I am stuck and cant go ahead and build the PC.

I am starting to hate this motherboard itself and trying to get my money back .

1 star for just delivering it soon.

PS : I have not used this mothe...
