Great Upgrade fro

First I bought my board through Newegg.Pros:Lots of 4pin fan connectors, plenty of sata ports (8), M2 slot, great audio software, great motherboard layout, and asus quality.The bios took some getting used to but is a very nice design and pretty easy to use.The board looks good in my case matches the stealth black motif.Plenty of USB ports.Audio works great with my Logitech 5.1 system.Cons:When i first installed the ram I got an error.

Everything seemed to work fine, but it bugged me this was showing so I started digging. Turns out this code is thrown when the system comes out of sleep. Now the thing is I was cold booting so that was a bit confusing. It ended up...Read more

This board is the heart of my Skylake build. It looks so bad @$$ with my red and black theme. BIOS is fun to use to tweak your settings.
