There is no
I love this board. I threw an i3 on it and am using it as a server in the garage. No issues. Updating the bios was easy, enabling XMP was simple, even configuring the case fans was a breeze.
Looks great Very sturdy Simple bios
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.
-Components have plenty of room to breath -Dark Color of the mother is great for Blackout builds
All the pro's you can expect with MSI in an ITX form factor

Paired with Intel Core Ultra 5 245K and Team Group T-CREATE EXPERT 32GB for my friend. He is loving it. Since it is project zero build there is minimum cable and it looks super clean. It has lots of storage options and WIFI 7 is a plus. Thunderbolt 4 Type-C and 2.5G LAN is another feature why this board is future proof. Overall, I would recommend this board who wants a clean look and performance.
Just what I am looking for in a motherboard that can be used in the future
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.
