I put this in a new build and it's been running strong without any issues for about a month now. Booted up first try, the only thing I had to do was adjust the RAM speed and everything else was good. Only downside is that it only has two fan headers, and one of them is for the CPU. If you have more than one fan, you will need a fan header splitter to go on it.

As long as you don't care for looks, this motherboard is great. It's a strong motherboard for only 60 dollars and works great. I love the SSD heatsink that the 60 dollar board has but my main 120 dollar board doesn't have.

Let me get this out of the way: yes, this mobo is cheap, it's thin, it only has one PCIEx16 slot, the IO shield is a bit of a pain to fiddle with, it only has one sys_fan header, installing a high end i7 or i9 on it is likely not a good idea, RAM clock speeds are limited, etc. If you are looking to be building a beefy gaming rig or a workstation for demanding tasks this mobo is NOT for you.But, for some users this mobo might just be perfect. I already built a high-end gaming/hobbyist workstation PC back in January (also using an MSI motherboard, an ATX profile for that one), but recently I set out to build a small web server to host my website and a modded Minecraft server on, and this motherboard is a perfect cost-effective small board capable of such small server tasks. So far I've run my server without many issues, though I still have to host my site on it. To get the best out of this board I would recommend pairing it with an i5/16 Gigs of RAM. This board would also be good if you just want a simple browsing or business computer, but it could also be useful for a low-tier gaming PC as well if you attach a budget GPU to it.The point is this board is what it is. It is not a board for a "do everything and anything" build by any means, this is a cost-effective board to be geared toward a specific task you assign to it and do it competently. Before you buy this board keep that in mind so you don't expect more out of it and end up disappointed.

I got this motherboard as part of a build I followed off of YouTube, and I love how easy it is to place everything on it. It was my first time building a PC and this motherboard was friendly in the sense that I didn't scratch my head looking where to plug in the RAM, CPU, SSD (M.2 slot) etc. Overall, amazing motherboard to start off with. It fits in a Micro-ATX case, which I got. Although, some modifications in the case will have to be done in regard to screwing the motherboard in it, I do suggest you make sure all the screws lineup before screwing it in. I messed up on this but was able to fix it. lol noob I know. Anyways, I recommend this product. I do wish it had more RAM slots...but maybe that's an upgrade for the future for me. Time will tell!
