Good motherboard, best of motherboards

I only who was upgrading a computer and wanted to run a modern processor on a budget. It fits pretty well. It's a micro-ATX with many features. This will not allow you to overclock. So if you want to do this, there will be an additional fee. I have a Micro-ATX case and it fits with no problems. The only small thing to note is that it has two NVMe slots, and if you're using a 10th gen CPU (like me), the NVMe slot closest to the CPU is disabled. This *IS* is documented in the instructions, but if, like me, you weren't paying enough attention initially, you may be surprised why no mapped drive shows up at startup. Oops. As soon as I moved the drive to a different slot, it worked fine. Overall it did what I needed, but mostly because I wasn't looking for anything to overclock. It was really in my budget so I was happy with it. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Ultra-fast connections: PCIe 4.0, Intel 1Gb Ethernet, rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-A and Type-C) and VM.2 Key E slot for Wi-Fi
Cons
  • Compatibility
