Excellent motherboard

No problem, but I had a few problems. I wish the instructions were a bit clearer. One page of the manual says when it comes to connecting the power supply that you should not just connect 4 pins to power the processor but use 8 or 8 and 4 as only 4 pins can cause overheating . Then later it shows a picture where you only connect 4. (So that it only occupies half of the 8-pin slot.) It's confusing. Also, many power supplies, like mine, don't have an 8-pin connector at all, but two 4-pin connectors instead. After talking to many people and researching I found out that I can connect both 4 to get 8 contacts. I made one for slot 8 and one for slot 4. I wish this had been mentioned as a possibility. Windows 10 didn't include Wi-Fi drivers, so make sure you save your drivers to a flash drive beforehand if needed! Also, the BIOS recognized my hard drives but didn't boot. . The manual doesn't mention this, but I had to go into the BIOS and select Legacy compatibility mode instead of New + Legacy to get my SSD to boot. Hope that helps!
