Pros:
Has all the features of the big boards. Was not cheap as I paid $184 instead of $150, getting in too early. Ah well! <smile>
Running i3 6100 at 3.7GHz, a little faster than Pentium G3258 unlocked running at 3.7GHz. Will be buying a i7 6700 when the checking account says it's okay.
Cons:
None as of now!
Overall Review:
The i/o shield seems to be off by less than a millimeter (.03937") or so and very difficult to seat into the case. The WiFi connectors are placed on too-light an aluminium bracket and likely should be more in the center of the MB. Everything else seems to be just right, three fans, power and front panel connectors, CPU socket. Super placements.
Back plane M.2 socket seems easy to use, if your case has easy back-side opening. Six SATA 3 ports, super! Will see how many are left when I use the M.2: four I believe. <smile>
Updated UEFI BIOS to latest, 1.50. Beautiful screens, orange turning into lots of red, well laid out, easy to use.
And under Linux, lm-sensors 3.4 work to show fan speeds, cpu and other voltages, temperatures. Hurrah!
