    So far, so good!

    I chose this motherboard to install my 10980XE from the US. BIOS update without a hitch.
    So far, not a single problem! Rock solid. CPU running at 4.4Ghz stable. My Thunderbolt 3 external module is running perfectly too. In short, I'm very happy for an audio workstation!

    I've been using it for a while now and I'm very happy with it. Thanks to them!
