Pros: its exceptional. the PCB is thick. the layout is pretty thoughtful in design. *dual m.2 slots (clapping) 9th gen support out of the box i59600kf BIOS is good, pretty too, lol. advanced menu is more like it. *dual usb 3.1 headers. one high, one low. i used the lower header because the case i chose did not line up with the upper header. nice to not have to send back a case. the motherboard is not pretentious, and the led's can be turned off. i run white light in a smoke glass case, nice, but not disturbing, showcases the internal features. overclocking features are intuitive and straight forward. i ran a closed loop fractal design 240mm coooler with four fans in a push pull setup. oc'd the system board and cpu run stable idling at 32c. when it comes to the audio portion, everything was outstanding on my corsair gaming audio sp2500 hi power speakers, like really awesome. i connected it to my set of 7.1 logitech surround system.....really really terrible! so i guess the audio chip jives with some stuff, and nahimic vomits in the cone of others. after testing, i blame the speakers, not the audio chipset. bluetooth 5.0 and ac wifi really are a nice treat to have on board. and they both function well. bluetooth audio and connectivity tested via onsip. phone call quality is crystal clear. for the board being packed so tightly, there is adequate room for mounting everything providing you choose a case that meets your hardware measurement requirements. my specs are : i5 9600kf closed loop cooled by fractal design. asus gtx 1060 6g blower style. 32gb gskill trident ddr4 3333 white corsair mp510 960gb m.2 3rd gen ssd intel optane 64gb m.2 memory module 2 x 4tb SSHDD raid array fractal design meshify c mini black tinted tempered glass. buncha (7) corsair af120mm white led fans.
