I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

I’ve been using the board for half a year now paired with an FX4300 processor, in the process of work, USB WiFi modem dumps were noticed, suggesting that the problem could be in the power supply, I studied the power supply system of the USB ports with a multimeter, as it turned out they were all powered (!) From a weak standby source BP. I redid the usb 2 power supply by soldering the fuse, and using a soldered wire, I applied 5 volts directly from the power supply to the port, the modem stopped falling off.
In general, mat. the board suits, but for overclocking and powerful processors it is better to look for another one.

Pros

Four slots for memory, USB 3, there is a COM port.

Cons

The south bridge is right next to the video card. Bios could be better. Power supply of USB ports from a standby power source. There are no heatsinks on the processor power transistors.

After a month of use, I short-circuited with the case, they decided in the service. It's unpleasant, but it could have been a card and nothing to do with it, but I have crooked hands during installation
