Works Well
Overall Review: Got this motherboard as a combo deal with the Ryzen 5 9600x, and is working out the box with no problems. Haven't utilized advanced BIOS features since i'm a novice user, but the BIOS themselves were easy to navigate. Pre-installed IO shield is nice, the ports & connectors are well placed, and the design of the board itself is appreciated. Looks very clean in a white case
Molex Fans :(
Pros: - Mostly all metal - Sturdy - Removable dust screens - Panels easily removable - Buildable
Cons: - Included fans use Molex connectors - Below average clearances (GPU/PSU) - Poor cable management options - Outdated interior design - Black front panel cables on a white case
Overall Review: All of the included 140mm fans are molex, and that info is missing from any product page. Fans with 3 pin connectors were at least expected, but the fans being molex ruins the value of this case. With replacement fans, the airflow and noise are great. There what seemed to be a LED button, but is more of a switch. It also uses a molex connector, and when used in tandem with the molex fans lets you turn the rainbow colors to either fully on, or fully off. Cable management was a hassle, especially since the front panel connector locations causes their cords to be in the way of where one would route the main power connectors for the mobo & GPU. Tricky to hide all the cords your install, but already impossible to do since they have a cable routing hole showcasing where their front panel cords connect to the top of the case. Which again those cords are black. Either make them white, or hide them from view please. Also the interior design is lacking. There's the cutout showing the un-hideable cords, the honeycomb design at the bottom fan mount is lame, and every tie down point is visible from the front of the case. Was able to get my build in the case, but I wouldn't personally purchase to build in again.
