Pros: The board works, but....

Cons: Lighting issues and RAM EXPO compatibility issues plagued this board. I couldn't run the RAM at 6000. I'm stuck running the default 4800. I updated the BIOS to the latest BIOS. The lighting software still stinks, and EXPO causes some serious instability issues.

Overall Review: I am using RAM straight from the QVL list. G.Skil Flare X DDR5 6000
