- Weak VRMs and... - Lucifaux, 21 June 2019
General instability, weak VRMs aside... the marketing for this motherboard was heavily focused on RGB, that's usually a bad sign, a sign I ignored... Like a growing mole - turning out to be cancer after one later.
I could write a more thorough review, but it's simply not even worth the extra time.
What saves this from being a one star, are the features. It's well equipped.
This is also not Wootware's fault, let me just make that clear.
Spend a few hundred extra and get something decent. - Great Board - Lance, 24 November 2018
Great motherboard, the fact that at this price point you get an integrated RGB LED strip on this is incredible, so easy to use too, all you have to do is download the app for this board and you can check on your temps and also set the colour for the LED strip, very impressed, 5 Stars!
- Terrible - Francois, 1 July 2018
If I could give this board a lower rating than 1 star, I would. 1st of all a big reason people would buy this board over the Asus Prime B350 is because this one has an RGB strip. So it is safe to say that this board's main marketing point is on the RGB. However, their RGB software(RGB Fusion) is terrible. It isn't user friendly, the color schemes are mediocre compared to other brand's RGB software. Also, the RGB strip broke after 1 week so I had to return it. Another problem was the sticker on the board was removed. This sticker voids the warrenty of the board if it is removed. Wootware thought I removed it, but I didn't since Wootware build my case. But Wootware looked on teh video recording of the person building my PC and said that they didn't remove it. Then Wootware said that the sticker must have just fell off. So basically Gigabyte attachment the sticker in a flimsy way. Not impressed with this board. Maybe I was jsut unlucky, but rather buy the Asus Prime B350, or save more money and buy the Asus Strix
