Many appreciate its performance and compatibility with various components, along with its extensive features. However, some users point out the lack of integrated Wi-Fi as a significant drawback.

    I used this motherboard for an i7 10700k and was able to get stable overclocks on this motherboard. However, when installing windows, I wasn't able to get the ethernet connection working, and since it didn't have built-in wifi, I couldn't try that either. It only worked once I installed the motherboard drivers from the CD that came with it, but seriously, it's 2020/2021! no one USES CDS anymore for computer builds. Was just lucky I keep spare computer parts lying around to get it working.

    It has all the functionalities. The only thing I suggest is the back panel plate is not integrated, but separated so I should assemble it.
