ASRock continues to deliver great products! (Not a shill)
Pros: -Everything works. Wireless from my experience is actually very strong (Full Bars). But obviously this will be dependent on structural issues. -ITX is tiny! -The Bios is the same like most ASRock. Very user friendly but you also do need some knowledge. -The Manual is not garbage but it's not perfect either. -The VRMs manage very well with heat. I would still recommend making sure you have decent air flow. -The Heatsink for the NVME 4.0 works! Has a thermal pad under it for the Drive which does well.
Cons: The only complaint, if it really is one, is that the Heatsink for the VRMs is somewhat simple. It is an L-shaped Aluminum sink that does do the job, but seems like more could be done. Granted there is a heatsink below the motherboard for additional cooling. Oops! Also you cannot control the RGB on the motherboard from the BIOS. Maybe they will add that down the road.
Overall Review: I was sweating bullets for this board as we are having a major crisis when it comes to stock in electronics. It took about 10 days like the other reviewer stated. I got lucky and I only hope others can obtain the motherboards then want as well. I do not plan to overclock on this Mobo but it is safe to say it has the power to do so and looks very futureproof (I hope) for the last AM4 CPU which will probably be Zen3+. I commend ASRock for still making great products for AMD and only hope they continue to do so. I bought an X370 Taichi when I decided to take a chance on AMD and I've never looked back. Hopefully this board, like others, will be restocked. With that I wish you Good Night, and Good Luck.
Wonderful but...
Pros: LED, Colors, Precision, Motion Speed, and quality are all top notch. Quite impressed with the blacks on the screen. First time I saw dark black that wasn't off. The Light bleeding is also very light from what I saw except for the right lower area but I'll get to that. Overall, I played several games and movies and it looked great. Better than my old 931c but hey, time flies and picture qualities go. I like the LED monitor, but I had to RMA it for a replacement.
Cons: The only con I can really state is that I was unlucky. Box came to me without any damage points outside of it and upon opening the box, I noticed that the right lower side of the LED monitor was split at the bezel. It looks like it shipped right out of the manufacturer with the large split so I guess machine packaged. I pushed the bezel back at the corners and it snapped into place but the backlighting on the LED screen was off. It was like giving off a sprayed effect when the screen was just on. I'm assuming the LED backlight was misaligned somehow when being assembled but it didn't look right at all when the left side was fine. So saddly, tried it out a bit and definetly liked the quality of the screen. So I requested for an RMA replacement and now I'm waiting for my new one.
Overall Review: I've always liked Samsung and have heard they are wonderful with their customers usually. They seem to work closely with them. Just Quality Control can only go so far at times. I just got unlucky. And I had one dead pizel when I was examining the LED light bleeding which I found ironic. No one else has gotten any it sounds like on here!
