5 out of 5 eggsCheap and Good

Pros: I'm not a fan of motherboards, to me it only serves to hold everything I need in place and running. Since motherboards hardly show any improvement in your overall system I just stick to cheaper ones with good reviews that has all the features I really need.

Cons: Not good looking LOL

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent entry level z board

Pros: They boot up the first time, easy to setup. Mflash works fine, with recent bios update - more than adequate tweaking options. Works great with all the chips I installed in them – 4770k 4670k G3258.

Cons: For what I paid for these boards there are no cons

Other Thoughts: I have 4 of these pc mates. Purchased the first one a year ago and although I tried some more expense boards since I never got any better performance out of them. I my opinion, if you don’t need a more feature packed board and are planning on using the intel graphics or a single video card I find them as good as any z87 out there. Also owned a Z87X-UDH5-TH and a Biostar Z87. When using the intel graphics with both 4770k and a 4670k’s the pc mates get the same performance out of either chips. Yes, the $200+ plus boards have more features and power phases but in fact the best clocking clip I have runs fastest and coolest in a pc mate. For net price I paid with combos the value can’t be beat. Each individual’s experience is unique and the only reason I posted this review is share my experience and give the other side story to the many that run these boards down. I don’t doubt they had problems but these boards have be the best purchases I have met in quite a while.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat deal

Pros: Ordered 2 of these with the free 8G RAM, it was a classic STEAL. Even without the free ram there's a lot to like. PCI-E 3.0, crossfire ready, legacy stuff like PS/2,PCI, etc, 6 SATA 6G ports, Multiple Display Capable, USB 3.0 Header on Mobo and Military Class 4.

Cons: Not SLI Capable, Need for additional connector for 5.1 and above audio. Full size ATX footprint, some may not like this for it's larger size. BIOS needs to be flashed to resolve Mobo not shutting down when exiting Windows issue (that's what the free ram was for!). When the free RAM stops NE got rid of all the mobos with this issue.

Other Thoughts: BIOS was easy to flash. After downloading unzip files into the ROOT directory of a thumb drive. From the BIOS menu select BIOS + ME option to flash ( not BIOS alone) and that should get rid of the Windows shutdown issue.

4 out of 5 eggsHappy with purchase

Pros: Overclocks the Pentium G3258 with ease.

Crossfire support at a great price!

Cool to still see legacy options like PCI slots, serial, parallel, and PS/2 ports.

Cons: Audio I/O jacks are very limited. Only Line In, Line Out, and Mic.

Would have been nice if a USB3 expansion bracket was included in the box.

Other Thoughts: Like I read on another review here, the motherboard's heatsink was very loose and surely would have caused issues once the system was assembled and powered up. A few turns of the two Phillips screws on the bottom of the motherboard snugged up the heatsink very nicely.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat motherboard!

Pros: Great motherboard for a great price!

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: A lot of people seem to be having problems with this motherboard but I haven't had any so far. It does creak a little which is worrisome but it works just fine so oh well.

3 out of 5 eggsThoroughly Inspect the board Before you install

Pros: It appears to be a great value for the feature set and with the Free Memory promo it's impossible to beat. I'll update after I receive the rest of the build which will include the Pentium G3258, to overclock of course.

Cons: I always give items a thorough inspection before use. I ordered 2 of these boards at the same time. On the first I noticed the heatsink on the Voltage regulators [The large one next to the CPU] was LOOSE! Easy enough to tighten the screws on the back of the board, but this could easily cause issues after install. The second thing is the 'cracking' sound in the board with normal handling, not flexing. I haven't received my CPU and RAM yet to test them, but given what I've found so far, I'm glad I got 2 in case one is bad I won't have to wait for an RMA.

Other Thoughts: It seems another reviewer commented on the recent lack of quality in electronic components. I've been building computers for nearly 20 years and I have to agree that after all the 'cheap' parts manufacturers have put themselves out of business, I'm surprised to see the 'quality' veteran companies putting out products reminiscent of the likes of 'PCChips'. Even the coating on the motherboards is uneven and splattered. I'm concerned the only way this purchase will be worthwhile will be if I can return the board and keep the ram.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Motherboard

Pros: Nice Board
-Amount of ports
-Good Quality for Price
-Bios options

Cons: Not really a con but when I first set it up with my i5-4XXX it would never shutdown from windows or bios. A quick Bios update fixed this.

5 out of 5 eggsWorth the $$$

Pros: Amount of connections, Bios, Look of it

Cons: Plugs are difficult to plug/unplug

Other Thoughts: I have no complaints about this motherboard. Others had all sorts of issues but it works great for me. Has the more advanced bios. Only issue i had was plugging in and unplugging stuff. I actualyy partially pulled off the connection for the USB 3.0 plugin for the case. It pushed back on the board though. And i noticed the right side of the board isnt really that stiff. Which makes disconnecting things even harder. But its only once in a while that you have to go in there and mess around so not a big deal at all.

3 out of 5 eggsPoor design for on board USB 3

Pros: Good price, Very good BIOS menu.

Cons: Poor design for on board USB 3, It is very close to main power connector, It is impossible to insert USB 3 cable to USB 3 header.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Mobo & Cheap

Pros: 1. Vertical SATA ports
2. Works perfectly - no problems yet.
3. Does everything you'd expect it to do perfectly.

At first, I was a bit skeptical about this motherboard because of the reviews. I was looking for a cheap, solid motherboard for a non-gaming PC. I ended up purchasing this and I do not regret it at all. Super cheap and does everything you need it to do.

Cons: The location of the screw hole locations to mount it to the case are in terrible locations. The last row of screws next to the 24-pin power port are not on the edge of the motherboard like every other one. They are further in, making the motherboard bend when trying to plug in the 24 pin connector. That pin requires a lot of force, and with the motherboard flexing, it was a pain. I had to put my hand underneath while trying my best to shove the 24 pin connector in. I don't think it's worth taking an egg off since performance-wise, it does not have an effect. The builder/user just has to be extra cautious and use their hand to prevent the mobo from flexing too much. Don't be lazy and give a bad review because of this, just figure out how to get around it.

Other Thoughts: Great for budget or daily use PCs!
