I upgraded an old X58 based i7 setup with this board and a new Core i5-9400F. I didn't encounter any of the problems mentioned in the posts about the board version other than 2.0. My large EGA 9800 graphics card with a 6-pin power cable worked fine in the PCIe 16 slot and didn't block the M:2 line. The board shipped with the latest BIOS and did not require an update to work with the 9th Gen 9400F. I've been building since 1994 and this was the easiest build ever. No problem.
