ASROCK MB B365 PRO4 LGA1151/ Intel B365/ DDR4/ Quad CrossFireX/ SATA3&USB3.1/ M.2/ A&GbE/ATX Motherboard

Pros: The board looks nice even though it does not have any over-the-too design with RGB. Everything fit easily. 3 fan headers for chassis fans so you should be good for most of your fans. It has many port on the rear including USB-C. There is a right angle SATA cable and normal SATA cable that is provided. The Manual was helpful. I did not have any problem yet and it has been able to accommodate all the hardware put on it.Cons: Installing the M.2 SSD (SATA 128GB) was a bit confusing because apparently you have to use the heatsink screw to hold the M.2 SSD in place. Putting in my RAM which was 2xT-Force 8GB sticks was pretty hard. I switched on my computer realized it wasn’t turning on and noticed that the RAM sticks came out of place. Seating them took more pressure than many people would be comfortable with but I got it to wiggle in. The board is a bit heavy for its looks. Even though this motherboard has a USB-C port on the rear, it does not have a USB-C port for front panel connector which isn’t a big problem for most people.Overall: I paired this motherboard with an i5-9400f and did not need a BIOS update since almost all B365 motherboards comes with a BIOS update. I installed a dual fan 1660 super and the motherboards steel armor PCIe x16 slot holds it easily without sagging. So, I am pretty sure it can hold a triple fan without problem.I think this is a great motherboard one that has an LGA1151 socket and it is definitely something you can use for your first build. The BIOS is EXTREMELY easy to use. If I was able to navigate through it, you probably can. If you are going with 8th/9th gen Intel i3 or i5 (you can use K CPUs such as i5-9600k but it’s not recommended) then this motherboard will suit your build very well considering the price. If you are getting a 8th/9th gen Intel i9 or i7 then I would recommend paying that 30-60$ extra to get a Z390 board instead of a B365.

The media could not be loaded. So this is for my “guest” gaming computer. It only gets used maybe once a week. Have not had any problems running any game we throw at it. It is a base motherboard. Understand that if you get it. It is a no frills MB but it works. Looking for a cheap build go ahead. No complaints with the install.

The first purchase was two of these boards to use in a dual PC situation, but I found out the boards were susceptible to power outage damage (rapid power cycling); this is not the board's fault, so I managed to save on of the PCs, and then I purchased a new board to build a new system, which I will put on a UPS after I deploy it. Lesson learned: always run your PCs from a UPS. Good Motherboard.
