Tony
I'm using the motherboard with an i5 10600k and have had no issues with the stability of the computer. It also identified my M2 NVE drive without cause.I had to install the intel LAN drivers to use the ethernet port but it was available on the CD provided with the board.
TSB
Love it , comes from a time when Intel made good CPU's
XY
This was a nice looking solid board that posted once then crashed permanently. After two more boards and hours of testing I have a bunk CPU!!! Never before in my life. Maybe the 10400 is low binned. What a pain. Intel is replacing and Amazon was cool in replacing the boards the bunk CPU soiled. Cool board. I might just get again when I get a working processor.
Alex
Maybe there's some bad quality control on these boards... but the reviews made this out to be horrible. Tried it myself and everything worked perfectly. I am running a 10900k @ 5.1ghz direct-die with only 8 pins (my PSU doesn't have the extra 4-pin for the CPU) along with 64gb of RAM at a 3200mhz XMP profile. I would try it as this is a fantastic matx board for the price.
