Pros: I may not ever use it but the Bios flash/update features are nice. PCI-E 4.0 and RGB headers. Nice dashboard thing when you boot into the BIOS in basic mode.
Cons: For some it's a Con, for others it may not matter. It has the compatibility support module disabled by default. I had to enable it in order to see more boot options and allow it to find Windows that I had installed with a different system. It wouldn't boot until I did this.
Overall Review: It's fancy and reasonably priced. RGB headers might be fun to play around with.

Does exactly what I wanted3/30/2022 6:28:04 PM
Pros: Supports DDR4 ECC memory
Cons: None
Overall Review: I wanted a motherboard with ECC memory support. I pared this motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600 and DDR4 3200 unregistered ECC memory to run a home hypervisor. I'm happy with the results.
Pros: Recieved motherboard before it showed that it shipped
bought this board because it didn't have to ship from China.
can now have 128GB Ram
Cons: RGB not as easy to use as the Gigabyte board but it does still light up, just not as nice
Overall Review: old motherboard giving me CPU error code...
put everything in to this board including CPU
everything runs like it should
easy change over from old motherboard (Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING K5)
everything from dead Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING K5 motherboard fit into it
Pros: Heavy duty, easy to install, with the most recent bios supports all amd cpus 5000 series and also windows 11 . Can update bios with cpu and ram.
Cons: Didn't come with updated bios
Overall Review: I bought this board because of the bios flashback. Being able to update the bios without a cpu installed was the main feature for me and it is so easy to do. That was my main worry with the 5000 series cpu. I really needed 8 sata ports but left out 2 spare hard drives I use for back up. Overall I am satisfied with the board, just hope it last longer than my last ASUS board.
Pros: I guess if were doing Pros, the motherboard didn't have so many bells and whistles that it took a Ph.D to piece together properly.
Its large enough and easy enough to deal with that you wont really have many issues once you know what youre up to
Cons: Cons, well this things really doesn't have any actual instructions which is extremely difficult to work with if its your first time ever piecing together a motherboard or a PC in general
Also i wish it came with a third internal usb header but thats just nitpicking.
Overall Review: as a whole i thought the price was great for what youre getting and you can just pull youtube up to help you set everything in place properly, which is what you should do if its your first time anyways.
it works well and i really have no legitimate complaints
Pros: I may not ever use it but the Bios flash/update features are nice. PCI-E 4.0 and RGB headers. Nice dashboard thing when you boot into the BIOS in basic mode.
Cons: For some it's a Con, for others it may not matter. It has the compatibility support module disabled by default. I had to enable it in order to see more boot options and allow it to find Windows that I had installed with a different system. It wouldn't boot until I did this.
