This was my 3rd ASRock board purchase in the last five years. Bought this board along with an i5-3570K, 16 Gig Hyper-X quad kit and a Kingston SSD. I decided to test out the onboard graphics before deciding on a discrete card. The install of Windows 7 Home Premium was by far the fastest install I have ever done. The CD had all the latest drivers and within 30 minutes of the initial boot, I had configured the EUFI and completed all the basic software installation. The WEI for the CPU and RAM are 7.6, the data transfer is 7.9 and even the graphics score 6.5The install of the board into a Fractal Design 3000 case was quick and simple. There was no problems with cable routing. I am very happy with this board and I think ASRock improves with each new generation of boards.
