Any bad things to say about this board?

I don't want to overclock, I want stability more than anything.

It seems to tick all the right boxes for features...

Looks fine mate but if youre not overclocking why not go for one of the cheaper asrock boards?

For around that price range, I'd go for this instead. Also 'ticks' all the right boxes (see here)

Unless I'm mistaken it doesn't have as many USB ports and doesn't have a F/W conntection... otherwise it looks ace

Okay, which would be more stable the Gigabyte or the Intel?

Don't know

But most people here have the Gigabyte (especially DS3) & swear by-it. See here.

I have that boards big brother, the BadAxe, it was a dream to build, no annoying little glitches. That huge passive heatsink on the northbridge doesnt even get warm, and no fan to breakdown.

I think I can count the number of crashes on 1 finger

, its seriously stable. I've used most brands of boards in the past, but my current is an intel, and I'll strongly consider using genuine intel boards again in the future.

Cant think of anything bad to say about it.. Perhaps the overclocking interface on the Badaxe isnt very 'friendly'. And the board your looking at is 'Stock speeds only', but as you already said you dont want to overclock, then I would strongly consider it.

For a little exta you may as well go with the top of the range board at the moment and get the EVGA/BFG 680i
