i have that board is a nice board if your looking for extra cooling and an all black look. the down size is the mb does not fit in every case or will every cpu cooler fit from the thermal cover. if you do by the mb dont go cheap and by a small pc case. sometime in the small cases the thermal armor wont fit. the mb of the sambertooth has to be close to one of the other z mb they just zing you 40.00 more for the cover.
