Pros: I was able to boot with a i7 14700 out of the box which surprised me. I was able to update the BIOS with an "unsupported CPU" out of the box. Board manufacturing date of 2023-04 so BIOS wasn't even close for 14th gen CPU support.

Cons: Can be a pain to get into BIOS, but could be the delay in my monitor so I can't truly fault the mobo for that. I don't know if it's the mobo or the other accessories, but the RGB connectors are very loose but again will not fault the mobo for this because I'm not sure.

Overall Review: Wifi 6 2.5 GB LAN (if only I had a switch / router to make use of that)
