Pros: Pre-installed I/O shield was a good thing to have and made building the system easier Nice design Lots of room for expansion and upgrades

Overall Review: Got this to make the switch from Intel to AMD and it worked right out of the box with my Ryzen 5 3600. It has worked very well for the past month that I've been using it, and I do recommend it for anyone who wants to make a new Ryzen 3000 build.

Pros: Works just great on a b450 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 3600.

Cons: If RGB is important to you, you won't like this. A slightly high profile so might not fit some CPU coolers.

Overall Review: Overall a great fit for gaming with a Ryzen 5 3600. It is rated at the maximum frequency my motherboard can manage, and it has been running at the XMP profile of 3466 MHz for two solid years with no problems.
