love anything technology related... software included. working on a open source AI project . I like to troubleshoot and build systems and sometimes just out of curiosity . put together fits that are unconventional .

suprisingly more powerful than i thought it would be

Pros: very cheap ... a good option for light gaming( with some performance hits) and tasks. when paired with a ASUS 12 gb dual fan (oc edition ) i played elite dangerous for several hours on ultra with very smooth frame rates that being said see cons.
Cons: the most trouble this chip seen was planet landing . its lack of threads and and cores despite gpu support seemingly unable to handle its part without stuttering ( it's definitely bottle necking the GPU.. atleast upon first few minutes on planet. however after few minutes. it all smoothed out..
Overall Review: Im not finished with all bench marks yet , and i can see this as probably not the chip for many discerning gamer. but it would would be more than sufficient for a gamer on a budget(and blew all their money on a good GPU.. just make sure you control background tasks and it performs just fine for the cost. I'm still curious to how it compares to a 12 th generation I3... guess I'll find out
audiophiles pay attention

Pros: this board outputs phenomenal sound, even when not using 7,1 , i have determined that i dont even need my soundblasterX4 external DAC. AMP, just don't connect it to a pair of cheap stock speakers... i highly recommend the klipsch 2.1 THX certified computer speakers .. nothing less than 100 dollars really. also... out of curiosity..and giggles i put a Pentium gold Processor (Intel(R) Pentium(R) Gold G7400, 3700 MHz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) ..i did so with the thought.. that it would perform so poorly , that i would have to take it back out, i was surprised at its performance especially that it was not bottle necking the rest of the system., i was especially floored by its benchmark numbers (still not finished) ,the worst it has done is 79th percentile . so this board provides excellent support for low end processors.. providing more options for gamers on a budget ..
Cons: nothing big as of yet. just have to make sure you get the correct power supply . this board requires an ATX power supply . the placement of the battery is inconvenient.. ive been dealing with asus motherboard forever... i do like them . but they can be a bit fussy configuring new memory . which often times requires resetting CMOS by complete battery removal and using a jumper. but this battery sits pretty much under the graphics card... so in retrospect one may want to configure memory before installing card... however that brings another caveat . the CSM in bios cannot be configured . if your using the integrated graphics . these aren;t big issues to me but i can see the beginner getting frustrated
Overall Review: awesome deal for the price... if your just as demanding about having great sound as well as great graphics as i.am ... this board is it... and for the love of sound... don't buy cheap speakers. i got a couple more processors i would like to try out this board. just to compare.. perhaps i. ll do so.( thank you for powering through bad typing..... i spilled beer on my keyboard last night..I dont think its gonna pull through .,,,,
Easy to set up and quiet for it's size

Pros: was surprised by the size at first and concerned about fitting other chassis fans. This builds not quite finished, but i always like to benchmark builds for temp before moving on to the aesthetics part of the build . it's huge radiator and fan is actually keeping it approximately 10 degrees cooler(idle) than the build that occupied this case before ( stock intel CPU .. and some very poor performing chassis fans(4) . ran Elite Dangerous for a time and it ran about 2 -5 degrees cooler . GPU fans didn't even kick in... and i have decided that i can do without so many fans. i do not overclock incomplete builds let alone builds that are going to be sold so i cannot gauge overclock performance. perhaps when time affords i got GPU's and motherboards all around.. i can play around with (OC) fits and this product.
Cons: I would to tell people to pay attention to its dimensions , its not a real problem in my fit. . works quite nicely. and lowered my temps and power usage in the long run. but anybody finding themselves short on space on their planned fit need to really pay attention .. and honestly it would be kind of funny to see in a mini tower
Overall Review: the assembly was a breeze , taking about 8 min , and i can see this as a great option for beginner enthusiasts who are trying to avoid the dreaded push pin type coolers . it's size and light show sure to catch everyone's eye i m still finishing this one up (fans come tomorrow) and also a case so i can start my next build. while. i haven't completely settled on cooling options as of yet, but i will definitely keep JONSBO in mind in future builds . it's actualy been quite pleasurable doing business here .

I was afraid at first
I had not realized i had purchased something from all the way across the world (my fault). however i decided to maintain a wait and see stance . it took a while . but it did come in very good shape and as advertised .. its not their fault at all by the way . I tracked it from beginning to end . they shipped withing the same week as ordering . the rest of the time was in transit , awaiting transit ,or sitting in customs. none of which are within the scope of their control . but it is quite helpful to know . for better planning in the future , because their pricing is very good .
aswsome service and delivery
I have yet to install them .. they look fantastic .. particularly the brushed aluminum. i was going to put them on my build.. but i recently got a new case that came with stock rgb fans .. they arent horrible , but not nearly great looking. but on the other hand they would look great in my case.. which i originally so.. i have decided this morning to resolve the issue by ordering another set as soon as this next weekend .. after i recieve this new motherboard . probably gonna get a cheaper , smaller case and perhaps make a "bargain build" out the cheap.. but yeah great stuff.. if i ever get the time i'll post photos.
good product and delivery.
came on time and in good shape. easy to assemble ..
