A Tough piece

Got this mobo 3 months ago, going strong, no issues even with overclocking, just need to have a proper cooling system. I managed to short circuit it, psu is burnt with fumes but the motherboard and the components on it remained strong. As the title on the box says, this is definitely ultra durable. Pretty satisfied combining this with a fx series processor :)
