Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent budget board with many features and some flaws

I am using this board with an Intel Core i9700K processor and the board is able to get most of the processor out of the box. As expected, the processor speeds up to 4.9 GHz in turbo mode. I didn't have any stability problems. Pros: Reliable power supply for an entry-level board, lots of USB 3.x ports. Clean design, works well with 9th Gen Intel Core processors. Lots of PCI-e expansion ports. Comes with a simple orange flash built into the board. I can use all 4 RAM slots. The fan control in the BIOS is very flexible and I was able to get the fans to run very quietly until the CPU was at full capacity. The UEFI BIOS is easy to use and has many settings. Cons: This is a budget board so some decisions have been made to keep costs down without sacrificing quality. There are only four SATA connectors on the board (not specified on the product page) and two other M.2 connectors. Only 3 SATA ports can be used when using M.2. Comes with Realtek Gigabit Network and Realtek ALC887 Basic Audio. Most Z390 boards are equipped with serious Intel network cards. Another surprise is that the board only has 6 case screw holes despite being an ATX size that usually has 9 holes.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
