- Very good - Michael, 21 March 2021
This mobo is great. I have had it in my machine for more than a year now.
I like the design and the aesthetic of the black and grey tones. It works very well with my other components in the system build.
The I/O is great and has more than enough ports for use on my desktop.
Installation was seamless and the docs were easy to follow for component connections. - Very good MATX Motherboard - Jacques, 14 December 2020
Very good quality motherboard. Was easy to install and looks great.
- No issues thus far - Curtis, 18 June 2020
Performs as intended thus far with the AMD 3600
- Nice board, although a bit cramped - Frans, 28 April 2020
The board runs well so far, however the RAM slots are a bit too close to the CPU socket. This means that the smallest stock AMD cooler hangs over the first RAM slot, making it unusable, which defeats the purpose of buying a nice B450 board instead of the cheaper ones which only have 2 RAM slots to begin with. And no, you can't just turn it around as the massive heatsink on the left blocks it.
Also, if you utilize the secondary PCIe x16 slot, you lose the 2nd x4 slot which I was also not aware of.
If I had known these things before I bought, I would have reconsidered. You can see it here: https://imgur.com/a/pDLSHji - Recommended - Chantelle, 25 February 2020
Nice board, if you have a huge graphics card and a office building sized cpu cooler then things are gonna be real "snug" however it is m-atx and is to be expected. No problems so far with Ryzen 3700x that I noticed.
