Decent board for the money.
ASROIck boards are good, but their bioses are still behind ASUS IMO. my friend bought a Z68 board from ASUS and sometimes the voltage doesnt hold right.
It is a special type of integrated circuit socket designed for very high pin counts. A CPU socket provides many functions, including a physical structure to support the CPU, support for a heat sink, facilitating replacement as well as reducing cost, and most importantly, forming an electrical interface both with the CPU and the PCB. Thanks for sharing.
