MSI LGA1155/Intel Z77/DDR3/CrossFireX/SATA3 and USB 3.0/A and GbE/ATX Motherboard Z77A-G41 - Check it Out

This is my second MSI motherboard, I love them so far and I think I will probably continue using them in future builds.

Pros:
- PCIe x16 3.0: faster for my GPU
- SATA 6GBps x 2 << definitely a pro for my SSD and HDD
- older style PCI slots still available
- UEFI Bios ("Click Bios II) which allows for larger than 2.1tb hard drives to be recognized... Windows 7 instantly recognized my 3tb HDD
- Click Bios II which allows you to control BIOS features from within windows, and excellent feature for sure, you can even flash your BIOS from within windows which is awesome... even my older MSI motherboard has this feature using MSI live update 5.

Cons:
- RAM slots are a little too close to the CPU, my heatsink covers two of the slots up, so I had to be sure to install my RAM before I mounted the heatsink, but if I ever need to replace RAM, I'll have to completely remove my heatsink, which would include removing thermal...

Customer review : Worked for about a week and then Audio stoped
Okay well for the price it seemed like a very nice MOBO. With the PCIE 3.0 port it seemed to good to be true,and it was. The problems started when I tried to load the MSI drivers onto the computer. Every thing went fine until around the end when the computer just up and froze. After about a minute you would get a blue screen error.

I tried every thing I could to trouble shoot the problem.(uninstalling and reinstalling drivers- trying to use old drivers and also checked hardware) With the stereo I was using if you cranked the volume to the max and the PC volume the same you could hear what almost sounded like a whisper of what audio it was trying to produce. Also in the bios the MOBO would always default my RAM speed to 1333Mz when it says on the package of my RAm that it is 1600Mz. I would go in and change it myself to 1600Mz,But I would get errors and my...
