I was quite surprised and impressed with the built in options for over clocking.
I had issues with a USB device in the first week but it turned out to be a bent pin on the cable. The board is fine and device works properly with new cable.
I removed 1 star because I do think they give too many options for bios/uefi. I think I counted different screens, all with the same information but each one growing more complex and confusing.
Also because I'm not a fan of the short atx board. I'd prefer if the width of the board went full size and allowed the board to be supported by the 3rd row of stands.
I use the standard bios/uefi and it's been perfect.
TLDR : good board. Good default bios uefi. Good port/plug placement. Too many uefi screens. Wish it was wider.
Got here on time and in perfect condition. Not much else to really say. Very nice motherboard and the color scheme matches the neon lighting in my wife's case so bonus!
Nah but seriously this motherboard caused my pc to freeze and crash every 30 minutes. Don't buy this thing.
