GREATLY reduced operating temps
Pros: Reduced my average operating temp from ~60-68 deg Celsius to ~27-33
Cons: It's very big, but it fits!
Overall Review: It's a great alternative to liquid cooling. It works so well I plan on getting 2 more for my wife's and daughter's computers.
It just died
Pros: It worked great until about 2 days ago.
Cons: Just died 2 days ago. Right about 6 mos. of use.
Overall Review: I guess I'll start pursuing RMA/warranty replacement or, failing that, buying a new drive.
Everything worked out of the box
Pros: PCI-E 4.0, good amount of USB ports, rugged, the Ryzen 3600 I bought with it worked without any updates, heat sinks, low price.
Cons: None I can think of now. Everything works like I thought.
Overall Review: Easiest PC upgrade I've done in a long time. I watched a lot of reviews on Ryzen builds to pick out this mobo and have not been disappointed.
Possibly PCIe not working
Pros: It was in a bundle and priced right.
Cons: Everything powers up EXCEPT the graphics card. It powers up long enough for the fan to start to spin then stops. I have swapped PSUs and graphics cards and nothing will work. I even switched to the x4 slot, the fan powers up with that, but still no graphics.
Overall Review: I'm going to RMA this for a MSI or Gigabyte
Good mouse, bad scroll wheel
Pros: Light, nice shape, hi-res, looks good.
Cons: The only con is the scroll wheel, it has bad traction. As a result you have to push on it which activates the button - very bad for PvP and gameplay in general.
Overall Review: I'm ordering a new mouse and will let my kids use this one.
Pros: So roomy. Bottom HDD area with cooling fans. Extra room behind motherboard mount plate and case cover for cables. Easy HDD mounting brackets.
Cons: Kind of "plastic-y." It's no deal-breaker by any means. It takes down on the weight quite a bit.
Overall Review: I love this thing. Lots of room for everything and then some.
