I just built my rig a few days ago and haven't had much of a chance to put it to work but the initial quality of this board seems good. I paired it with an Intel i3-8100, Ballistix Sport 8gb DDR4-2400, and an EVGA 1050 Ti for a mid-range budget build. Booted with no issues on the first attempt so I was pretty happy about that. My only real complaint is with the documentation. It could have been a little more clear about certain things like RAM priority but I did manage to decipher it. I didn't realize my mistake until after I had installed my CPU cooler so I had to remove it to relocate my RAM from slot A1. (RAM priority is: A2, B2, A1, B1). Also, after installing my GPU in the first PCIe x16 slot, I realized that is rendered both of the x1 slots un-usable. I expected that for the first x1 slot but when I installed my wireless card in the 2nd x1 slot, it was about 2mm from my GPU fan, not leaving enough clearance for airflow. In hindsight I probably should have gotten a standard ATX board for extra room but a USB wifi adapter solved the problem.

Overall, this product is good. However, the installation of RAM and some peripherals is super tricky and can be frustrating, testing your patience. The instructions for installing RAM are not clear, online research confirms this over the past few years. Probably due to the Chinese language translation. The instructions say RAM should be placed in A1+B1 slots if two sticks, but doesn't say anything about a single stick of RAM. The computer will not boot if your *first* boot is with two stick of ram (or more). You *must* only install a single stick, in slot B1 for the computer to boot. After the first boot, you can then add your other sticks. Also, if you are adding a GPU, do not install the GPU on first boot either; install the GPU afterwards. I waited until I installed the OS and all updates and drivers.I spent way too many hours pouring over forums and message boards to get this thing to work. Just FYI.Again, the product is really good... just be aware of the installation nuances and lack of appropriate instructions.

Tight fit for everything to be sure, but is to be expected in a mATX MoBo. The BIOS has a nice feel to it and is easy to use. Very intuitive. Seems durable and fit the case with no issue whatsoever.

The ASRock Z370M Pro 4 is advertised as including USB 3.1 I/O. It does have USB 3.0 but no USB 3.1. The specs including USB 3.1 as a featured part of this motherboard are all over the website, on the box it comes in etc. The device manager in windows only shows an Intel(R) 3.0 USB eXtensible Host Controller and a USB Root Hub (USB 3.0). When I tried to instal the USB 3.1 driver from the included driver disc (Asmedia host controller driver setup) Asmedia (v1.16.38.1) I get this:Warning! The Asmedia USB Host Controller was not found.So... There is no 3.1 hardware on the motherboard to support with their driver. By the way a request for assistance from ASRock has been unanswered for over a week now. I use a P.C. for my work... HELLO? Other than a fraudulent representation of the product ASRock is selling, The Z370M Pro4 is functioning OK so far other than the fact that I can't use the 3.1 devices I bought it for. I also returned the first ASRock Z370M Pro4 and got a second one assuming it was a problem with a single motherboard. The second one is the same.ASRock motherboard Motherboards Z370 PRO4
