ASROCK B460M Steel Legend Supports 10th Gen Intel Core Processors(Socket 1200) Motherboard

Wonderful motherboard, bottom led pins were really tough to connect but other than that... BUTTER! beautiful...

I won an i9-10900K in a giveaway, and needed a motherboard for it to replace my old Z370 board because I was on a Coffee Lake platform. I didn't want to buy a motherboard that, well, actually belongs with an i9, and bought this instead.I was pleasantly surprised at this $100 motherboard's ability to handle a 10 core 125W behemoth. No issues so far, just booted right up with previous install after some Windows diagnostics. VRM temps are normal.I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of being able to customize the RGB on the board, but oh well, I just turned it off.

I mean it works well but I have some complaints about design choices. First of all it has the slot on the motherboard for the a wifi m.2 module but to actually run the wires for the antenna is a pain to do. The least they could is include the wires for it, I had to buy my own and it was hard to know what was going to be long enough. You have to remove this giant heatsink that covers the io ports on the board so you can get these antenna wires to the bracket which is not included in the instructions manual. Related: my wifi module seems much slower now plugged directly to the board than it was on the pcie expander card. Moving on to second complaint: By default the leds on to motherboard are set to always on (even when the computer is off)... This is one of the dumbest things Ive ever heard. Mind you I bought this like 6 months ago at this point but if I remember correctly you had to update the bios before you could find a setting to turn this off and I had to dig to find this out. I only need my computer lit up like that if its on thanks. Other than those things, I did notice that the mounting holes for the mobo to the case didnt line up to all the holes partly because of the weird shape of the right edge of the board so there's no support there which could be an issue, so be careful attaching cables and components.

It’s important to note that this b460 motherboard only supports intel processors (all the way to 10th gen). It is my first pc build and I have a ryzen 5 3600 cpu. Not looking at the title and only seeing the price, I purchased right away thinking that all motherboards supported all CPUs. So when I tried to put in my cpu it wouldn’t fit. Other than that all I had to do was return it and order a b450 motherboard. Nothing too bad. The motherboard looked great. I would give it 5 stars. The mistake was on me tho so I ain’t trippin.
