ASRock Intel B365 Chipset Motherboard, B365M-HDV

Had a spare PC whos Z390 died. Bought this to test with and ended up keeping it. For a no frills board it works properly and easily with a 8700k. No xmp settings at all so make sure to just grab 2666mhz with it and probably a non-K cpu. Its stable and reliable though, no issues out of it.

i like this because it has 2 dimm slots not 4 i find 4 slots annoying.Also it is good for windows 11 but using windows 10 home now.when i recorded me speaking the with USB MICROPHONE THE AUDIO SOUNDS GREAT.When i played music on it sounds great.I do not need a GPU though.I am using I3 8100 T CPU.G SKILL RAM,

I would say really a 3.5/5.Used this board for my 1st build that I put inside a NZXT H510 case. Since it was my first time building a pc I was unaware of a few things that didn't let me use all the features of the NZXT case (usb c, front port). So be aware of the specs of this motherboard and look at the manual for all of the connections. Also, when I put a graphics card (GTX 1070) in; it almost completely covered the bottom of the motherboard, thankfully there was just enough room to put the front panel connections in. Plug those in first. Also, another fan connection was in the way of the GPU, it did work, but the GPU was right on the fan connection, bending the wire pretty good. However, the wire was not damaged, and the fan was running perfectly fine. I just did not like the plastics touching so close, another 1 mm and the wire would be fine. So get a fan connector or connect to molex like I did for multiple fans.This is a nice, easy board to install. Be aware it is micro ATX, so it is smaller. Make sure your graphics card is not to big or else it will be a pain to connect your front panel, mine barely fit. But it gets the job done, just do your research.

I had accidentally broke a pin on my last motherboard and needed a cheap replacement and this has worked very well. Paired with an i5 9600k and works well, but anyone getting this board just know you can’t overclock with it. This was for a basic gaming build for an htpc that I built.
