Why did you get screwed?

1. Most onboard sounds sucks. Easy fix, just buy a sound card.

2. Most reviews like the board for stability, but it is a little lacking for overclockers.

What matters is what you think about it. If you like it, why do you care?

AntiABIT has an excellent point. The board looks fine to me, but if you are not going to overclock, which I don't recommend anyways, you will be fine. A lot of people go by standards that they follow, as towards what is good and what is bad. Integrated sound is suffice for the average user. People who do lots of gaming or want the ultra-high quality sound, then they buy a new card and label all onboard sound as crap, which it isn't. As long as the board performs to your expectations, I think you will be happy with it. It's fron AOpen, which is a pretty good brand. I think you'll be happy with your decision.
