Reliable and does the job but lacks useful/fun features

I got this motherboard to build my niece an inexpensive entry level gaming pc for her 10th birthday but when I wanted to put it together , I was quite disappointed with the shocking lack of features on this motherboard.[1] It doesn't support 5V or 12V RGB connectors at all, just two 4-pin LED connectors that provide color for connected RGB LED strips but cause them to get stuck on green. Even for the fans and lights on my case (Fractal Design Focus G)[3] it didn't have enough connectors to connect it. It only supports the relatively low speed of 2666MHz for RAM. My 3000MHz RAM sticks that I had to build were the bottleneck for this reason. However, these issues aside, it works well for gaming and is quite durable, to be honest, much more durable than I expected. However, for $20 you could get an overall much nicer motherboard with nicer accessories.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Nothing here
