Great looking board, had a bit of a problem installing drivers first hand as the drivers on the disk that came with it were only windows 7 drivers so I had to wait for the windows 8 ones. Love the super charging ports on the board that can charge usb devices when the computer is turned off, they come in handy! My only problem is that when I set my 1600mhz corsair vengance ram to 1600mhz in the bios (which isnt uefi, dont know why it didn't come with a uefi bios when it said it did) because the bios automatically sets it to 1333mhz my system wouldn't boot up windows so im stuck at 1333mhz. Great board anyway, highly recommend, especially as its the cheapest board I found with a 990fx chipset and usb 3.0 internal header.

Everything is spaced so nicely on this motherboard oodles of room, the Sata connectors are a bit fiddly as they are facing horizontally from the motherboard so best to connect them first and lower the board into your case.
