I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

I used this board in assembly with Ryzen 3 3100 and RX 570 in a 4.4L case. Didn't dig into the BIOS. Most of all I was pleased with the quality of the WiFi adapter. On a 5 GHz network, the speed keeps stable, close to the one declared by the provider, packet losses are minimal, perhaps not even related to wireless data transfer. Antenna location is critical. At first I put it directly on the system unit, but, apparently, it interferes with signal transmission: there was a low speed and…

Pros
  • Small size. High quality WiFi adapter.
Cons
  • You can pick on the design. The price is much higher than that of analogs of the microATX format, although this is the norm for such boards.

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Motherboard with Ryzen 7 3700 started up fine Throttles don't squeal Has cons: Lacks fine-tuning for CPU voltage There is a problem with regular bluetooth - it often falls off spontaneously
