Very nice little board, excellent for business or "non-gaming" PCSo far so good. I'm using this board to build a new PC for my business. Uses will be Office programs, some graphics, several scientific type modeling programs, accounting software, etc. Typically all running at the same time. No gaming.Likes: Tiny board, well laid out, clear markings, works well. Lots of nice features for durability and reliability. Reasonably priced, and extended time support for the board. I may buy a second board to upgrade another one of my staff's PCs. I'd like to fiddle with some of the features like the ability to make custom BIOS boot graphics, I'd love my company logo on the boot screen. Ability is there, I haven't tried it yet. Also ability to monitor the PCs and BIOS of every computer in your business, that seems like a cool feature, I'll also try that out.Dislikes: Tiny board, if you're not accustomed to mATX it is small, that is a plus and a minus. The little printed manual is just plain awful. I had to scan a QR code in the manual to see the pinouts for the Front Panel/case headers, like "Reset" "HD light" "Power" etc. ("Scan the QR code to get the detailed pin definitions.") I'm not sure why they couldn't have printed at least the F_Panel information in the manual. Also, the MB only has two Case Fan headers.Comment: It uses that "old skool" VGA looking BIOS screen. This is UEFI, but it looks like the old timey BIOS with VGA graphics and text. Seems pretty good tho, has individual controls for each Case Fan, and updating the BIOS was simple using it and the BIOS on a USB drive. The graphics style is not really a plus or a minus, I'm just pointing it out.

My work needs a consistent supply of good motherboards that run modern processors but still have legacy PCI slots. This board fits all those needs, and across a few dozen installs I've done with this board (since the 200 series boards and processors were retired), I've had zero problems. Windows 10 goes on fast, all drivers found seamlessly, no fuss. I'll keep using this board as long as it's available and I hope when it's retired, it's replaced with something equally good.

This motherboard worked well for building an office PC. It is a simple, reliable motherboard for the office user who doesn't want anything fancy but still wants a good quality piece of hardware.

For me the most problematic motherboard I have ever used, but now it seems working ok. There are many signs of using I think there come from main factory testing protocol.
