Revainrating 3 out of 5

Supplied with faulty BIOS

I finished assembling everything but found that even on the first boot it doesn't write anything. Spent all night trying to figure out what's wrong with my board and am about to get an RMA. The debug LED on the board reads VGA, which turns out to be wrong. Your prebuilt bios won't boot with my nvme m.2 SSD. Flashed latest BIOS with M-FLASH and finally it works without problems. Spent a whole night trying to figure that out. So if anyone had similar problems, try updating the BIOS first. The m.2 heat shield is also not compatible with my old case as they required a medium ATX screw. A hole for installing a special stand is included in the box, but in my case the stand is not removable, so I cannot use it. :/ The rest of the board is pretty solid. Paired with the Ryzen 3600 it works well so far.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
