overall this motherboard will serve all basic needs of any system. Worked with 9700x out of the box.

The motherboard works great and POSTED right away. The WiFi speed is actually incredbile - WiFi 6 is a huge upgrade. On 1.5 Gbps Rogers service, I'm getting over 550 Mbps, which is fantastic. Updated the BIOS right away.

Easily displays constantly cycling pictures displayed in a web browser that communicates with a CCTV system. This type of display does not require much effort from the onboard Intel graphics features. Easily works with a single 8GB SO-DIMM (Kingston KVR, 1.35v, DDR3-1600) in the proper DIMM slot in my case. The proper slot to use for single DIMM operation is covered in the manual. Supports 4 SATA-3 devices, but I am only using 1 device. read the manual to determine which connectors are direct to the SoC and which are connected to the SoC via the onboard ASmedia SATA chip (that is supported in current version of Linux). The network chip is Realtek and supported in Linux "by default", but load the Realtek network chip firmware from your Linux distribution to ensure stable operation. No issues detecting the USB2 and USB ports on this board.



Its cheap, and no RGB.
