Most Critical Review

Wished it were

Pros: I cannot comment here other than the pro's would be what is advertised

Cons: Never could get it to boot. Checked all components and all trails lead back to board. Any doubt as to that conclusion were squashed when I put a new MSI in place of the Asrock and bam, I have another sweet rocking small form factor pc. Visual inspection of the board showed warping of the main board. Socket looked ok, just warped board. I am guessing hairline crack or something.....

Overall Review: Recently started building again after 10 year hiatus. I have purchased 4 MB's since, 3 MSI and 1 AsRock. and all within their respective price range. I was really looking forward to playing with some of the features AsRock has to offer but not going to happen. Board was warped and compared to other manufacturers mentioned above the material on this board were lacking in quality and durability. Another thing. In order to RMA a MB you have to install the black cap back over socket after you remove CPU. Good luck doing that _____ without jacking it up and being accused of bending pins. For this reason I did not even attempt to RMA the board. 100+ gone.......... Moderator can look at my purchase history and see I don't need to make this up to get my money back, sitting pretty good in that department. Anyhow, hope this helps a few consumers and hopefully helps the big guys to build a little better and touch up their QC process

Bought 3 and all good

Pros: Until recently I had not pieced together a system in over a decade. When I decided to move forward on this one I spent several weeks reading specs and reviews. All came down to this motherboard. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself while putting this thing together. I could not be any happier during the build or with the end result. This board is the result of quality material and workmanship put together to bring you the latest technology in such a small form factor. My grandpa always told me "a nickel more, first class" BAM

Cons: Zero, Nada, Zilch

Overall Review: If it fits your budget you will not be disappointed
