Excellent motherboard so far

This is my first time using this brand and it was used to help my grandson build his first computer. Easily connect and install the M-2 drive, storage and operating system. The Windows 10 stick was recognized immediately and the OS installed quickly and easily. When rebooting, the system went to the flash drive instead of the hard drive to find the OS, but rebooting and pressing F-11 brought up a page to change the boot drive, and after it was selected and saved, the system switched smoothly to start the hard drive. We didn't have the RAM modules in the optimal positions, but upon startup the system presented an illustration showing the best position for each memory card and we accepted the recommendation. Nice that this function exists. We had to use an external DVD player to install chipset drivers and utilities (also having them on a flash drive might be handy) and the DVD was recognized immediately and loaded with our choice. very happy with this motherboard.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So so
