So far withing the time that i have had it, i had no issues. It supported all the connection i need as well as the design and layout of where everything was placed made my life a whole bunch easier. Installation was simple and easy. as far as performance goes, it runs great for all the heavy gaming ive been doing. The absolute best buck to performance motherboards out on the market in my opinion
I went from a 690 to 790 thinking there would be more improvements. Only to find I no longer was getting an optical port and what seems like less usb ports. Really surprised at the lack of an optical port.

Dear Ta00,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if it did not meet your expectations. If you need an optical port, you can connect an optical cable to the SPDIF header on the motherboard. Additionally, USB header are available if more USB ports are required.

With the upcoming end of support for Windows 10, I decided to build a Windows 11 Desktop. By first researching what processors and RAM were compatible with this motherboard, the computer booted up without any problems and is running perfectly and incredibly fast compared to the old Windows 10 machine that it replaced.
