- Stealthy black a plus. - Performs well and allows for future upgrades. - Bios is straight forward and easy to manipulate, even for a person who hasn't built a PC in years. I mean years...

Easy to install. Not a large Motherboard compared to a z series. gigabyte is easy and straight forward to update BIOS extremely easy


You can cram one of these motherboard+processor combos into a tiny case with the power supply abstracted to an external laptop-style PSU. The board is powerful enough for everyday tasks and you can drag it around for various things.

2 NVME slots Internal header for USB-C Fast WIFI

Budget friendly, works great, has some rgb it looks like

Spacious enough of a MB that even 'man fingers' can get at most of the plugs and slots. Came with tons of spare parts. Space for 4x SATA drives and 7, yes 7! M.2 drives.

Modern architecture in a low power form factor Can run off a 20 pin ATX power cord BIOS has no restrictions (power limit increase to ~15W, boot on power provided, and CPU undervolting) Passive cooling

ALERT! It's 2025 already, and this motherboard will not recognize a GPT-partitioned device as bootable! Once I figured out why I didn't seem to have any bootable drives, I formatted and partitioned my M2 SSD with a MS-DOS partition table, and it was good to go. I bought a pair of 24 GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 DIMMs that are listed on the ASROCK QVL. The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. I learned that my nice legacy heatsink was incompatible with the heatsink footprint (the 4 holes) on a LGA 1851, so I bought a Noctua NH-D9L and it works great. CPU temp with air cooling is 32-35C. I;ve been a pretty reliable Asus MB user over the years, but this ASROCK unit is getting the job done for me and I have zero regrets for this decision.

Build solid, heavy, durable. Great location for connectors (at least for my artic c8) Everything went together easy. No issues with clips, mechanisms, etc. Looks beautiful. Updated bios before power on, this is a great board, with great features. Very easy to navigate bios, everything worked exactly as it should.


"This review for ASRock review rebate program." Lots of options for connection of SSD's.

Connectors on the back of the MoBo makes for a clean look and better cable mgmt. Decent amount of IO on the back. WiFi 7 is performing well

Affordable price Excellent workmanship Stable and easy-to-use BIOS


Flawless. Easy to build with. Great aesthetics. Post lights. Awesome Bios


IO options. Debug lights. Several storage ports.

- Board is easy to install and play around, supports lots of 4-pin fans directly on board! - Not expensive for its great quality. - Lots of modern features such as PCIe gen 5 support and USB 3.2 2x2!

I really was amazed about this motherboard . It had some purple on it and really had everything you would need on it including a start and reset button right on the board awesome!!
