bought this motherboard along with a i5 2500k after doing a lot of research and i am glad i made the right choice in the end. This motherboard has all the features compared to the more high-end and expensive motherboards out there. The design of this mother board is well though out with enough space between the cpu socket and memory slots to place a generous sized cooler (i am using a hyper 212+ along with G.Skill ripjaws 8GB 1600mhz memory sticks and there is plenty of room to spare). It supports crossfire/SLI at 8x8 speed which is big plus incase i want to add another card in the future. Asrock UEFI bios is also very convenient and can be operated by a mouse. All the normal and advanced overclocking settings are there for both casual and die-hard overclocking fan. I myself have plans to overclock my 2500k in the future but at the moment i am well satisfied with its performance. In the past i have used Asus, MSI and Gigabyte motherbaords but this one tops them all in terms of quality, performance and pricing. Finally i would like to mentions that it supports next generation PCI 3.0 interface and Intel's next IVY bridge CPU lineup. Highly recommended.
