you can probably use both - just not in cf-x mode. Because it wouldn't make
sense.
usb3 will work 3x charge won't. All those nifty tools won't work. The bios fan
control is ok - could be better. It likes to err on the higher rpm side which
means that the fans turn quicker than with fancontrol - or Asus boards.
On the other hand, GB boards do work unlike Asus.
