Worth the hassle.
Pros: - It works as advertised. -It works like my other one does.
Cons: Not really cons, just moans and groans: -Big and bulky next to video card -Lots of air moving around but flow seems counter to overall desire to have air flow through case.
Overall Review: It works. Buy it.
Working as advertised
Pros: + Is compatible with ASUS MB as documented. + working as expected.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Good to go.
Worth it
Pros: + It worked like it is supposed to. + Free CPU cooler offer was nice.
Cons: - I absolutely despise having to get a new motherboard every time I want to upgrade my processor now.
Overall Review: One of three real choices. Kind of a toss up.
Good upgrade
Pros: 1. It worked out of box. (Helps to slow down, read the manual and make proper choice selections.) 2. Works well with Nvidia GTX 1660Ti (Reason for purchase. Older board would not.).
Cons: 1. Seemed a little larger in dimension than old GA-Z77-D3H it was replacing so it was a tight fit into case. Had a few wires get in the way when finagling into position. The covers over components contributed to challenges to fit in case. 2. Had an issue with first boot up attempt but resolved by using Legacy choice in BIOS. (Helps to slow down and read the manual.)
Overall Review: Good motherboard. Seems to be worth the price so far. I miss ABIT.
What expected but more than described
The internal Blu-Ray Rewriter ordered was what I expected based on LG model number (I already had one.), but vendor description and photo is woefully inaccurate / incomplete. I was squeamish it was going to be the wrong thing as there was no mention of DVD & CD read/write capabilities. Luckily, it has them as I expected as noted above. Otherwise, great order processing and delivery. Optical drive works as expected..
