The board works well but the design is lacking.

I was quite happy with this board for the first few hours. It installed fairly easily, booted right up, the BIOS was easy to use, and the Windows installation was quick. The problem arose when it didn't recognize my 3TB drive. So I googled a bit and found that you cannot insert a SATA drive into SATA 1 or 2 if you have NVME M.2 installed. So I figured it was no big deal and removed the front panel to move my SATA connection. I tugged and wiggled a bit to get it loose and bam, the whole SATA connection and half the pins came loose! I hardly touched it. Luckily the board is still working and the other SATA ports are fine. I'll keep this board as otherwise it's been pretty good so far. However, I do not recommend this to anyone due to this issue.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Damaged
