Pros: install went smoothly on a new Ryzen 5 system with 16gb of ram and an NVMe SSD. Took a total of 15 minutes to install windows, install updated drivers and get the system rebooted to a running state. Start up is fast as most new installs go, we'll see how it degrades as the registry bloat begins.

Cons: Not a huge fan of the touch screen style interface. Wish set up would give you options during set up to decide how you want to interface with the O/S. It's not super intuitive to a native windows user of xp/ win7 though it does have some familiar aspects. The USB stick is TINY( like a stick of dentyne gum ). Keep it in the package you got with it ( Which is a cardboard box in a cardboard sleeve )

Overall Review: Win 7 isn't supported, so there's not much left for current options to migrate to. It works well enough...just need to get used to the system interface and the new tools.

Pros: not having built a system since 2005, this was a pleasant surprise. installation went smooth. Love the CPU fan mounting options built in ( No pulling the motherboard to install a cooler ) Really like the visual component locator in the BIOS that shows what is occupied and what is not.

Cons: If I wanted more, I would just buy a different board. I can't really find anything to complain about. This board provides everything we needed, with room for more. Have to wake the system by hitting the power button on the case instead of a key on the motherboard..haven't figured out if that's an option with Windows 10, but that's not likely on this motherboard buy my lack of win10 knowledge.

Overall Review: I was looking at 2 lesser boards ( 450 chipset ) for the same price, and decided that I didn't need some of the options they had over this. If I get the years I got out of my last system with this, it'll be a great investment. So far, not a single hiccup in setting it up or using it.

Pros: sturdy. Everything has a good fit, love the magnetic dust screens and amount of airflow for an air cooled solution is nice. Has room for a water cooler on the inside top of the case for those needing a mounting solution. Lots of options for different configurations.

Cons: the cage that holds the PCI cards in place interfered with the screwdriver when installing my video card. Fortunately the course thread screw was able to engage without stripping, but for a sliding piece, the screws that it slides could have been better placed. I do like its function. I suppose it could just be taken off if using the screws to hold down cards for quick swapping components, but most builds aren't taking advantage of that...instructions were unclear/limited, especially when it came to the RGB board connectors. For someone who hasn't dealt with builds in a while, it took me a bit to fully understand what I could do with it.

Overall Review: Nice heavy case, solidly built. If you are looking for a clean build, everything tucks away nicely behind the back of the motherboard and in the PSU box. Not silent, but 5 120mm fans pulling through a dust screen are going to make some noise via turbulence. Quieter than our old NZXT with 2 fans ( Push/pull )

Pros: Warranty

Cons: needing to use warranty

Overall Review: I picked this PS up to upgrade my wife's failed PC P&C 500W and RMA'd the 500W. Besides the cost of shipping it to them ( 10 bucks ) it came back repaired -bad capacitors, rather quickly. I'm using it in my current PC and haven't had a hiccup with it. I generally keep our systems clean, but the wife's computer is in a spot that gets a little more gunk in it. At least it did when there was carpet in the room, which it no longer has. Whether that will reduce the amount of dust and hair I have to clean out of it... I forgot to mention, I RMA'd in in year 4 of the 5 year warranty period, so it held up pretty good. Dirt kills computers!.

Pros: 4 gigs for 30 bucks in one stick, short form factor means it isn't going to interfere with airflow, cables or other components.

Cons: Didn't know about the low form factor on some DDR3 ram, thought I had the wrong ram sent. not the rams fault, simple user ignorance.

Overall Review: Used in a Vista machine with an Intel Celeron socket 775 processor. No problems reinstalling the OS as this was used in conjunction with a new Biostar motherboard and Cooler master power supply. Vista didn't read the full 4 gigs, but it may just have been reporting available RAM vs what it was using for Video memory. honestly don't pay that much attention to that kind of thing.

Pros: cheap, basic, no problems.

Cons: CPU offset forced removal of a 120mm case fan. Not the motherboards fault, the fan had an adapter to allow it to fit the width of the case which bumped it out 1/2".

Overall Review: Good small FF board for basic computing with light expandability.
