Review on ๐Ÿ’ป ASRock B365M-HDV Motherboard: High-performance Intel B365 Chipset for Exceptional Computing Power by Jacob Brooks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent board, for my first build

I'd say really 3.5/5. I used this board for my first build I put in a NZXT H510- housing. As this was my first time assembling a PC, I was unaware of a few things that prevented me from using all the features of the NZXT case (USB-C, front port). So know the specifications of this motherboard and read the manual for all the connections. Even when inserting the graphics card (GTX 1070); It almost completely covered the bottom of the motherboard, thankfully there was enough room to connect the connectors on the front panel. Plug them in first. Also, the other fan connector was interfering with the GPU, it worked, but the GPU was right on the fan connector and flexed the cable pretty well. However, the cable was not damaged and the fan worked perfectly. I just didn't like that the plastics touched so tightly, 1mm more and the wire would have been fine. So get a fan header or connect to a molex like I did for a couple of fans. This is a good and easy to install board. Keep in mind that this is a Micro-ATX and is therefore smaller. Make sure your graphics card isn't too big or it will be difficult to connect the front panel, mine barely fits. But it gets the job done, just do your research.
