Lol I just got this mobo I really like it. I had an msi mobo that I got a while back and the north bridge was overheating. A lot better. my friend gave me his Phenom ii x4 965 he won at the FX GameExperience last saturday. The only problem I have is, for my windows rating it isn't bringing my 64Gb. SSD into account and keeping the rating at 5.9 when on the msi it was 7.1. I know it doesn't matter that much just it bothers me if maybe the SSD isn't working properly or not.
