Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

Paired with i9 9900k. Tried to stay within budget. Otherwise, I would not have taken this fee. Not because it is "bad", I would just take something more expensive, reliable and convenient (MSI or Asus).

Pros
  • Price. New chipset, ATX.
Cons
  • Inconvenient location of the memory - too close to the processor, if you put the tower, it will close the RAM bars, since I have dropsy. By default, it does not see the memory frequency of 3200 (but perhaps the reason is already in the memory). Inconvenient BIOS. Small screws under m2.

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

In general, the motherboard is normal, but for such money there are too many ridiculous jambs. It is better to take Gigabit.

Pros
  • 1. Works with the latest 9th generation Intel processors. 2. In general, everything is quite high quality.
Cons
  • 1. It is VERY difficult to change RAM. due to lack of space. If you put a medium-sized cooler, then the heat pipes will climb to the extreme memory bar. There can be no question of putting something massive here. Or use other slots. 2. Very inconvenient screws to install SSD m2. They are microscopic in height. They are nearly impossible to screw in without a powerful magnetic screwdriver to hold the flat screw. For comparison, the last motherboard from Gigabyte had normal screws. 3. Poorly signed ports. If everything on the same mother from Gigabit could be figured out without instructions where what, then you need to look into it, because the signatures for the ports are NOT next to the ports themselves.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

works with i9-9900k. You can not connect the TPM board, but enable PTT in the BIOS and, if there is a supported processor, it's great to upgrade to windows 11

Pros
  • Excellent value for your money. Lots of different connectors. 4 slots for RAM. Chipset z390
Cons
  • the location of the connectors is not very convenient

I wasn't thrilled with the product, but it can be used.

I bought several pieces, fell for the price and the Z390 chipset. They work in tandem with 9900K and stable reboot under load once or twice a week. I bought Asus Rog Maximus VIII on Z170 for 5000 - now everything is stable. In fact, the board for 1151-V2 is a marketing scam, normal boards for the Z390 cost about 20,000 ! Pros: Price, but in fact still an overpayment for 1151-V2. The presence of 2 slots Ultra M.2. Has some cons A very simple board in fact, Asrock likes to put top chipsets onโ€ฆ

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

The mother is very worthy - I took it for 10k at the time of its release and I can say that in 2 years she has fully worked out herself in terms of price and emotions. Now I plan to take the older version - also asrok - the manufacturer has proven itself well in overclocking. For a not too demanding gamer and average overclocking, it will fit perfectly, but it will not take 5 GHz.

Pros
  • A very high-quality mother in case you want some kind of overclocking, but there is no more powerful money for iron. + High-quality power supply of the processor - 9 phases, at least half of them - "phantom" ones were able to overclock the i5-8600k from half a kick to 4.8 at a voltage of 1.28 volts. + The board drives the RAM well, provided that it is not completely homeless + Strict gray design can be a plus for someone
Cons
  • -There is no VRM cooling system - can safely warm up to 75 degrees during stress tests - Drawdowns up to 0.30v on VCORE under high level stress tests (Prime95) - No input for RGB backlight -The operative modules are located close to the processor, which complicates their replacement in the presence of a large tower -Thin textolite (but the quality is not the worst)

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Confused by the lack of a radiator on the upper zone of the VRM. From the Internet, I fished out that these mosfets are responsible for powering the chipset microcircuit and powering the graphics core in the processor. So neither the processor nor the memory will be affected by its heating. Especially if the graphics core in the processor is completely absent. I think the engineers are not fools that they did it. Although the "technical prince" was very angry, he swears at everyone andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • just works, with a 9th generation processor without marketing overpayments for any kind of backlighting supports up to 3 CBOs with current up to 2A the chipset supports wi-fi 5 and bluetooth 5.0 at the digital level, the board itself has a corresponding M.2 connector for the radio module (800 on Ali)
Cons
  • RAM sockets are too close to the processor
