Review on ASRock B360M-HDV Motherboard: High Performance LGA1151/Intel B360 with Quad CrossFireX, SATA3&USB3.1, M.2, A&GbE - MicroATX by Anthony Grover

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very reliable Coffee Lake motherboard from ASRock!

I bought the B360M-HDV for my new 2018 Coffee Lake budget build for about $63. I've never used ASRock on a motherboard, it's always been Gigabyte for me. And I wanted to buy a gigabyte h310m-a but the problem with this motherboard is that it only has 1 fan header! And for the extra $5 I decided to try a new manufacturer, this one was worth buying! This board from ASRock has 2 fan headers, 2 DIMM slots (enough for me) and even supports M.2 SSD! Putting all the components on the motherboard and installing them into my Rosewill Bradley M case was an easy task and I had no problems! All connections work properly, the sound is clear. What I don't like about this motherboard is that the LAN driver needs to be installed after installing Windows 10, it doesn't work right away! It's a bit of a shame because when you install Windows 10 you want it to keep running and receiving updates so that everything is fine. It's ok, just install the network driver from the supplied CD and then Windows updates will be received. Otherwise I had no problems booting and ASRock uefi Utility recognized all my fans, CPU and RAM. ASRock definitely has a new customer in me!
