Great review, man this board is very sexy I can't believe how far Asrock has come over the years to provide such high end components on par with companies like Asus and Gigabyte. My jaw dropped after reading 22 Sata ports because I mean...Just wow, that's so much!
Having those mini-PCI-E spots with a wireless card built in along with bluetooth, 4 way CFX/SLI support, Dual LAN, that beautiful built in sound card, and the dual USB 3.0 headers on the board is making my drool. Even at 540 bucks which is a bit pricey, just the fact this board contains all these features makes it a good buy for that money.
I don't know why you three above me are complaining about the fans on the board, all that does is give you bonus cooling in extreme overclocking situations and improve the longevity of your board. I doubt the board would have an issue if the fan failed in the realm of overheating at least...
Great board and review.
