Pros: - See title

Cons: - First drive was defective (see below for my symptoms) - Kind of awkward to install with the big heatsink

Overall Review: First drive would completely power off after a few minutes of use. In windows, this manifested as a BSOD: CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. SMART status of the drive reported no issues, and running the drive on a PCIe Gen 3 bus appeared to avoid the issue, which made me think it was the motherboard. Replacing the motherboard didn't solve the issue; tried a new drive with the original motherboard, and it's working great.

Overall Review: Bought this to hook a PS5 to speakers using a headphone jack. The audio quality is extremely poor and very quiet. Tried linear PCM/Dolby/DTS setting, as well as changing the EDID settings on the device; nothing helped. I am returning this to find a better solution.

Pros: - Works to spec - Zero RPM mode leaves the fan off most of the time - so quiet!

Cons: The large power switch didn't fit well in my Streamcom DA2 case. Not deducting any points here because the DA2 is a weird case.

Overall Review: Would buy again.

Overall Review: Things You Should Know before Buying the Board: - NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSDs are *not supported* - The manual lists only 14 SSDs from PICe Gen 1, 2, and 3 as being compatible - AMD coolers are *not supported* - don't plan on using the Wraith Spire coolers with this board. - The chipset runs HOT (60+C at idle) - Consequently, the chipset fan runs at 4000+RPM constantly - The M.2 slot sits directly below the chipset, and will have no airflow in most ITX cases. I tried to build this board with a Gigabyte AORUS Gen 4 1TB drive. The drive shuts down after 30 seconds of active use (device appears disconnected from the board, won't show as being connected until full power off), presumably from overheating. The drive runs fine in other systems, and the board works fine with a NVMe gen 3 SSD. Very disappointed in the thermal design considerations of this board.

Pros: The mouse works and doesn't seem to go through batteries very quickly.

Cons: It squeaks. All. The. Time. It started the first week and has not stopped - every left-click comes with a nice squeak.

Overall Review: Should have read the warnings on this one.

Pros: This RAM was automatically clocked to 200MHz (DDR2-800) on the GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P; I had to manually change the clock speed, but the memory will actually run at 266MHz (DDR2-1066) on this board.

Cons: None so far
