The board along with an 17 6th generation chip and 64 gb of new ram was installed only to find out later that the bios needed to be upgraded and in the meantime trying to get the computer to react as expected took almost a week with two techs until we did the upgrade on the bios. There should be in big print that this board, that without the new bios installed, it could mess up your hard drive because it did two of the three that I have in this computer. Once I finally got it all squared away, the board seems to be reacting good and as it settles into its new home and is getting faster as it burns its way in..
TAKE NOTE iF YOU BUY THIS BOARD, INSTALL THE NEW BIOS INSTANTLY FROM THE ASUS SIGHT AND THEN MAKE YOUR ADJUSTMENTS FROM THERE. THE COMPUTER IS USED FOR A WORLDWIDE SHOW VIA THE NET..... RD
