Awesome motherboard with excellent sound quality

I have a Bose sound system and it plays much better now. The board is cool with many features. The BIOS is well designed with support for latest technologies such as UEFI.

I have rated a 4 because the driver is still not quite matured. It crashes sometimes. The nVidia Geforce 650Ti Graphics card driver crashes many times. Windows has updated some modules through Windows Update and now it is working well. Maybe the crash is over.

All in all one of the best purchase for the price.
