Great mother board for first time builder!
Pros: had this recommended to me via a friend who said " why spend 300$ on a z270... this one is a steal!" and he was right, dident need all the z270 bells and whistles and borrowed his G4400 CPU to flash a the bios for a i7 7700K
Cons: - great lay out - easy to see and understand ports and connectors
handy but flimsy
Pros: the unit is very useful, i have a total of 8 drives and this is my 9th, holds two extra 2.5 drives with my 4tb 3.5 - easy install and lock system
Cons: i really wish they used a stronger plastic on this some of the points feel like they would break with just the wrong amount of force the dust cover is nice but really lacking in creativity ( you snap a piece of plastic off and just insert, no lock) the case also leaves a small 2mm to 3mm gap at the top or bottom depending what you have above and below it, not happy about that, all my other 5.25 drives fit perfectly and flush
Overall Review: i was on the fence about this one and a possible tower drawer... wish i went with the drawer
Top Notch Ram
Pros: - Heat sink -clean install -many color options i have two black and two red makes my motherboard look all fancy like :)
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: make sure you know how many you want to buy , some of theses are almost $100 with shipping for a single stick, i lucked out and got a 2 pack for $165!
