The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

On this motherboard:
Ryzen 1200 calmly wound up with an overclock of 22% - from regular 3.1GHz to 3.8GHz
Crucial Ballistix memory started up at 3200MHz

If you try at least a little bit, probably squeeze a little more from both memory and CPU, but I'm too lazy.

In general, I am satisfied with the board, it is well suited for a budget build. There were two pieces in the household - it remained in the gaming computer, because. fits, did not fit the server due to the configuration of the SATA ports, sold it.

Pros

Low price Four RAM slots 2 PCI-E x16 Quietly keeps easy acceleration There is a connector for connecting the RGB lighting of the CPU cooler

Cons

Only one connector for connecting case fans, I had to buy a deepcool splitter to connect two case fans. Power components without additional cooling, get hot enough Disgusting layout of connectors on the board. For some reason, SATA ports are vertical, and not sideways. Because of this, there are difficulties with connecting SATA devices when installing a full-fledged video card - for example, 1070TI Aorus or RX570 Nitro +. It is generally impossible to install a second video card in the lower slot; there is something connected to the SATA ports, which cost a bunch of three. Because of this, I had to buy the B450 Aorus M board, on which the ports look sideways. Moreover, there is no such garbage on the related model H270 DS3H, all SATA ports look sideways. Unable to connect USB 3.0 front panel when installing a video card in the bottom slot
