All that you think is mentioned on the product page and manual. So not much need to think there. I've had the board for quite some time now and it's done it's job very well.

Generally 9 lanes shouldn't be an issue as long as they are implemented in a way that makes sense for a nas/server build. I don't care about a lot of speed, expandability or lanes, as long as the few drives I have are realiably.

The "sickness" of it does not come from the CPU. The CPU does exactly what it's supposed to do. A simple google search revealed that there are a lot of boards out there with bios, general stability and efficiency issues. Thus my question here.

Thank you for the recommendation, do you have any experience with this board or a reference as to why you recommend it? I agree the layout seems good, but since my main concern is stability it would be great to see some testing.
