Trying to build a pc for my bro, and I want to know how this is holding up for you guys. Any Major problems? Thanks.

Had it for almost a year now and no problems at all. I'm going to be getting rid of it due to the fact that I'm going to be watercooling in a little bit in a new case, but it was amazing while I had it. You can't go wrong with ASUS motherboards. It's scary how reliable they are.

So far, for almost two years, it runs very well with Win7Pro and SSD with 16GB RAM and two 4TB drives (one internal and one external by USB 3.0) to serve as my network file server as well as my VMs (Ubuntu 12.xx and 14.xx) for computations. I never encounter any failure for this MB. Remember to install two different USB drivers (get them from ASUS driver download site) when you set up Win7/8 for enabling all the USB ports.

Been running it pretty hard for just over a year. Never gives me any problems, totally happy with it.

For Intel® Socket 1150 for the 5th/New 4th/4th Generation, ASUS ITX MB, try, "MAXIMUS VII IMPACT (didn't come with wifi)" or "Z97I-PLUS (choose the model with WiFi ac model)". Or, for 4th gen, try similar ASUS ITX MB "Z87I-DELUXE". But, since I didn't build with it, I can't say any about its quality. Let us know how it works for you.

it's been holding up fine for me. It's a mobo, and its ASUS. I do not use all the features that are available for this mobo, but if you do, it will work great with Steam's big picture [if you are able to set it up properly]. I am using Fractale Node 304 case, so the only issue when installing it is the small room. This mobo fits in nice and tight with very little room to spare on the side with the thing sticking up.

I've had mine for nearly two years. It has been a great. Defenatly recommend.

I have had it since October with no issues at all.I must say that a BIOS update was needs because there were some throttling issues, and I consider unacceptable fiddling with a brand new out of the box new GPU BIOS.But beyond that I haven't had any problems.Probably some production batches were faulty and hence people having issues with it, maybe I was lucky.So far my experience with this card has been great, but that's just me.

No problems, mine is still working fine after two years. I just wish it had more RAM, but I can live with it. Have dropped it a number of times with no damage.

Yes! I currently am running a Phenom II X4 980 CPU w/16GB RAM, 6770 Video & SSD. My best build so far. I'm not a heavy gamer but, it has not let me down in any way. Love it.

My son plays minecraft he gets about 100 fps. Every game I have gotten him works. However the video card needs to be upgraded for performance and to do that I need a better power supply. Looking at 200 for video card and 80 for power supply. All in all this so far has been a good system for the money.

It's over kill. It will do fine. Are you building a computer brand spanking new? Or are you building from salvaged parts?

its decent.. graphics aren't the best, but I use it to play Dead Island and other games on stream.. it runs fine :D

I'm playing Skyrim on it right now. Runs at pretty much full res with no problems or lag. I've also played Far Cry 3 at full settings on it with no problems.

Yeah I bought this bad boy 2 years ago exactly to the day, loving it so far! But the graphics card on this is pretty weak, even with games like Minecraft (Vanilla, no mods or texture packs) I'm lucky to get 50 FPS even with fast setting (Low graphics settings in the game options). And one of the fans pooped out the other day lol, but that happens with all PC's after a year or so. Overall great PC, it's not hard to rip the 550TI out and slap in the 770 that M. Martin suggested. Anyhoo my 2 cents! :)

Yes, I have been using this CPU personally for several months now. No issues at all.

Yeah it runs LoL fine, especially w/ a good graphics card, I wouldn't be running 20 programs at once while trying to play LoL, honestly ive had this for about 6 months but instead you should think about the FX8350, Im about to get it as well. its more money but its a investment and literally like 4x better than this

Sure, it's got decent OC potential when paired with a nice CPU and it's very durable. It's my favorite MOBO that I've bought.

Fans are great, I've played games for hours with no problem at all, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and Gpu

Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

I run two of them in crossfire on an 850w corsair power supply and haven't had any issues. I can run skyrim fine, but while the framerates are good, occasionally there is a lot of stuttering, mostly occurs when you are indoors close to walls. It's really weird, but I think it could be an issue with crossfire. 1 of these should handle Skyrim just fine at 1080p if you have a decent CPU.

Absolutely no compatibility issues with that build. Just built one with basically the same specs.
