I've had this for a couple months now, used it in a computer that I use daily, and it's been rock solid so far.I built a gaming PC that I use for its intended purposes, but I wanted something not quite so powerful just for everyday use. (surf the web, watch videos, etc) I knew I wanted to go latest gen Intel for the chip, so I needed a board that could take the 10th gen but I also wanted it to be easy on the wallet, and this really fits my needs. Since this is a simple daily use build I knew I wanted to go with an APU, so there was no need for a bunch of PCIe slots, as they will sit unused in this system. But, if I want to throw a graphics card in there, the provided slot would work nicely. Other useful ports include dual DDR4 slots (I only needed one) and all of your usual headers and whatnot. And, of course, six USB ports (two are USB 3.0) and VGA, DVI and HDMI for connecting a monitor, audio connectors, ethernet, and even a PS2 slot. So, it's got plenty of ports for most people building a simple machine, or even a budget gaming rig.Install was a breeze. Since this is a micro ATX and I was using a mid tower case, I had no issues getting the board in there with plenty of clearance. Hooking up the front panel and headers was no issue, as everything is pretty clearly marked both in the manual and on the board.If there are any drawbacks to this board, I haven't found any. I literally built the system when it arrived and haven't really thought about it since then. It just works, which is what I needed it to do. If I were building another low power/budget system, I'd definitely go with this board again.

This great for budget option. It only has one chassis fan header but it does control fan either dc or ac mode. The fan header also supports pump rated up to 2A so it can handle more than one fan with splitter. It's one of the smallest micro atx board and I prefer this layout over the m.2 version because my wifi card will end up blocking my video card. This board will allow the wifi to not block gpu fan.
