Pros: -Plentiful USB ports -Optical audio -Good ARGB and fan headers -Great value

Cons: -Only 2 SATA ports. Not good for data hoarders. -ASRock BIOS is bad compared to MSI. Took several tries to enable EXPO. -Boot times are somewhat long (20-25s with Memory Context Restore and Fast Boot)

Overall Review: For the price, this seemed to be the best motherboard with the features I wanted. Installation and setup was easy enough. Booted up first try. The UEFI/BIOS is really quite poor. It has plenty of options, but they're often buried in sub-menus. No easy Curve Optimizer access. EXPO profile didn't load when I enabled it, so had to try it multiple times. MSI has an easier to use, prettier, and more feature-rich BIOS.

Pros: Very quiet. I installed it as a second intake fan and I literally can't even hear it running from 5 feet away. Installation was very easy with the included 4-pin adapter.

Cons: Air flow is slightly lower than I thought it would be, but it gets the job done.

Overall Review: It's a fan, so there's nothing extraordinary here. It's low-priced, quiet, and works well.
