Pros: Great budget home server board because it has 4 ram slots that can be used with ecc ram, has built in on board graphics (no need for dedicated card on server that will usually be used headless), header for parallel port (can use with legacy printers to act as print server), pci and pci-express slots (reuse existing raid cards regardless of interface type).

Cons: Not a lot of pci/pci-e slots because of matx form factor. Weak power system. Not many power phases, no heat sinks on the vrms, only 4 pin 12 V aux CPU power connector. Sustained high current to 125W+ or overclocked cpus is going to cause overheating problems associated with the vrms as detailed in the many other reviews listed for this board. These problems will be exacerbated if you use an after market cooler (e.g. hyper 212) that doesn't direct airflow down toward cpu and motherboard. Perpendicular airflow, as provided by the stock cooler, would assist with cooling vrms but parallel airflow will not assist with cooling them.

Overall Review: I would not suggest getting this board if you want it for overclocking a 125W CPU or for sustained high loads on 125W cpu (e.g. gaming). You are asking for problems given the weak power setup. See the other reviews that talk about overheating or exploding motherboard components as a preview of what can happen.

Pros: low price includes fans and does positive pressure out of the box optional top mounted power supply

Cons: one motherboard tray cable tie punchout impinges on right center standoff of a EEB motherboard rear fan is a 3 pin

Overall Review: Low priced case that can house an EEB motherboard with minor modifications: 1) remove 5 1/4 external drive bays 2) drill 3 holes in motherboard tray for top center, right center and right corner standoffs. The right center stand off will can not be located exactly in the correct position because of a cable tie punch out in an unfortunate position.

Pros: Its single rank Samsung b-die. I was able to use the samsung b-die v1 fast settings in DRAM calculator 1.6.2 at 3400 MT/s @ 1.4v with a ryzen 3000 cpu on a b450 board. That would be 14 CL, 28 tRAS, 42 tRC, 16 tFAW, 252 tRFC. It also has a single xmp profile that is 3733 MT/s cl18 @1.35v which worked as well. The packaging stated high quality samsung ic.

Cons: The sticks are tall so consider your cpu cooler clearance. I use the stock wraith and it is fine. Tower coolers may be problematic.

Overall Review: Recommended for anyone willing to hand tune the ram timings.

Pros: This works flawlessly in my budget homemade NAS box. Asus M5A78L-M/usb3 motherboard and sempron 145. ECC can be turned on in the BIOS

Cons: none

Pros: Just the right amount of cables for a typical home build. 2 strands of Sata (5 plugs total), one strand of molex (3 plugs total), one strand of pcie (1 plug total). Even though its not modular, there isn't much extraneous hanging around resulting in a clean build. An unexpected bonus is that the 24 pin and 4 pin power connectors for the motherboard are pretty long. I was able to run them behind the mother board in a fractal r4 (mid tower case with bottom mounted power supply).

Cons: Not enough pcie for two video cards but you knew that from looking at the specs.
