[US - Frys] MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate for $9 (using Promo & Rebate)

Link to the product: http://www.frys.com/product/8262746?site=50boxpremail1227

 

The motherboard sells for $55 normally, and has a $30 rebate. In addition to this, email subscribers received a promotional code for $16 off. As a result, the Z87-G41 is $39 at the register, and $9 after rebate.

 

The biggest issue with this motherboard appears to be that, out of the box, it may hang when attempting to restart. Many people report that a BIOS update will fix the issue.

 

Maybe someone who owns it can chime in?

I haven't had that issue when building a system or two with that motherboard. 

If there's a bios update that fixes that issue.. that's probably why they have that bios update.

I haven't heard of anything wrong with this board - I did a small amount of research on it as I was planning to use it at one point.

Sig under construction.

The only problem I had with mine was the audio header had bent pins, but I bent them back and the board hasn't had any problems since.

 

CRAZY good deal if you can manage both discounts.

Wow, amazing deal.  This is truly amazing.  Pick up a Haswell instead of Haswell Refresh processor and you are cooking!
