Don't particularly care how this board performs because it looks hideous.
Man these spammers are geniuses...put (NO SPAM) in the thread title to hide the spam. It's brilliant. Hopefully this doesn't catch on...what if rapists wear signs that say (NOT A RAPIST)? They will be raping everybody! D:

IMHO, it looks like 5 year old board.
May be they should consider changing the color ASAP.

A couple misses if I were choosing the board for myself - no eSATA

As for the no esata that is not as big a deal as people seem to think. There are actually not all that many people that use esata, heck most do not bother with USB3 devices.

As noted in an earlier post reliability should not be an issue. Sapphire builds most of AMDs reference boards and they brought on a large chunk of EVGA's motherboard team. They have production and reliability down pact.Forgot to mention in the first post: price wise it is a very good board. Availability as well as reliability may be an issue though.
