First, it has a standard American Megatrends BIOS. This almost guarantees good results. The standard pins for USB, USB3, Audio and the front panel jack work fine. The distance between processor and cooler is perfect. Nice metal backplate behind the motherboard. I haven't built a PC from scratch in over ten years. This motherboard gave me absolutely no problems and booted right out of the box. The screw holes were right where they should be. Even the port cover fits perfectly. Maybe it's a reminder of old motherboards, but this build seemed easy. One thing that is "missing" is the contact location page. Most ports are obvious, but the front-panel ports require a quick search. The colors in the image for this test do not match the motherboard, but the pinouts do. Pretty easy to find out. The positive leads go to the colored wires, the white wires to the negative. If you have an old processor, buy this inexpensive motherboard and get it working again. If you don't need a computer, use the parts and donate the computer to a school or family member. (That's what I do.)
