Pros
Pro Great integrated failsafe
In case of a power failure, improper overclocking settings or hardware malfunction during a BIOS update. It's still possible to turn the system on. That's due to the board having dual BIOS that both function as main and backup at the same time and switch over when either one fails.
Pro A great price-to-performance ratio
Supports Two-way AMD CrossFire and a great overclocker.
Pro Capable of maintaining optimal temperatures
With one of the motherboard's VRM (voltage regulator module) it maintains temperatures at a range of 80 to 85 Degrees Celcius while running a stress test application. Which are still optimal temperatures under heavy load.
Cons
Con Drop in frame rates when using AMD CrossFire
There can be a drop of frame rates when you use AMD CrossFire (AMD's multi-graphics card setup). Though AMD CrossFire is supported, it isn't always recommended over an NVIDIA SLI setup.
