Really cool board. I'm building one right now. If I finish it by later this afternoon I can give you all a run down. The price is excellent. Has a built in wi-fi that you can use to connect to mobile devices and transfer screens back and forth using and app.
Thanks #1. Been looking at this one for a while now. Your comments pushed me over the edge and I ordered one. Be interested to hear about your results.
Cheers.
Got it loaded and POST just fine. The UEFI seems a little different than my last build, but it has been a while. Really cool looking. With very little effort got the 3770 processor up to 3.8Ghz. Oh make sure you put the wi-fi device in before your mobo. It gave me a CPU fan error at the begining that seemed to be linked to my CoolerMaster Hyper 212 plus cpu cooler. The error was removed as soon as I turned down the expected fan speed in the bios. Other than that no problems yet.
