    from completed build For lack of a case - Cabinet PC

    No. This thing has some terrible issues with drivers and USB ports. Had to switch between 2 adapters and finally ended up buying a PCIE WiFi card because the board kept failing it about every 30 mins (the new card didn't work either). Don't even bother with VR. You'll find that the software won't recognize both the USB 3.0 and DP cable plugged in (Oculus Rift S). I know it's the board because since I upgraded, VR works fine.

    from completed build My first budget rig

    Had the right socket and fit in my budget. No problems so far, easy to work with and everything was clearly labeled so it was a breeze hooking everything up.

    Wish I had spent a bit more for a better MOBO, but for the price I can't complain. Basic OC is easy to do, but I wish there was an option to WOL, at the time I never thought about it but now I'd love the added convenience.

    from completed build budget 1080p beast

    Motherboard - All round a good motherboard and serves well, basic functionalities and support for crossfire, but only has 1x16 pci slot so ye, only downside is i cant overclock on this board, but i knew that when purchasing, maybe should have went with the ud3p model, better vrms. slots are located very well and it made easier cable management.

    from completed build 1st Gaming PC Build

    Sort of good for it's price, however most have said that you can't OC the CPU and there's no built in WiFi card. I was able to overclock my GTX 960 a bit which is stable. Other than that, it's a motherboard.

    Decent motherboard with the fan pins that I needed. Great motherboard on a budget, but not your overclocking board. That is fine with me as I was not planning on any overclocking anyways.

    Months later, I haven't had any problems with this motherboard.

    Good for the price, the color is a bit ugly but it gets the job done.
