A good motherboard with one thing to watch out for..

This is overall a nice looking and functioning motherboard. However, before purchasing I was not aware of the issues that many had been experiencing.

Good value for the price

This is a great motherboard for the price. Plenty of extra features and the second M.2 slot gives the potential for a clean look in the case with less cables to deal with for extra storage.
There is some room for overclocking but don’t expect anything crazy from this board if that’s what you are after.
