Thanks for the help, I saw that the ASRock board comes with built in Wifi and it won me over. I'm just curious, what kind of problems have you had with MSI in the past?

Ummm...sorry to be late to the party. But I have a Taichi and I'm rather found of it. A great lil board, for the price you can't beat it. Can't think of a board I like better close to the price. My next choice is an Asus x99-a II. Very nice, but almost $100 more. Do be sure to have at least 12 pins for the extra cpu voltage connector. Great overclocker in my book.

I just got my board the other day, I can't believe how great the quality is for only 219$. Best of all no bs RGB crap. Just a clean board with an *ssload of great features, I'm not sure why there aren't more people buying ASRock boards

Just don't push her too hard. She's not designed as an overclocker's dream. Stick with medium OC settings during burn in and go from there. I killed my Taichi thinking it could handle extreme overclocking...and when I get on a push to OC, I PUSH HARD. Board pushed back. ASRock has generously offered an RMA which I accepted and now I run the i7 5920k in it with milder, tamer OC settings. The stock settings are quite nice. Let the board tell you its limit. It DOES know its limits.
