MrMcNuggett –
Pros: Great for managing wires since all connections are on the rear.
Just make sure you have a compatible case or this wont work.
Has a bunch of M.2 SSD slots and a GPU slot with 600 watts connection to use with the ASUS GPU goldfinger connection to have everything wire free. Id like to try out one on this board to see how well it works.
When I tried to put it in my case it wasnt going in and I thought it was the board but finally realized there were 2 standoff screws mounted in my case in the middle for a mini ATX board along with all the others. I almost thought it wasnt going to work and felt stupid when I figured it out. My case is the Corsair 5000T RGB Icue Link version and this case works with this motherboard. Cons: For some reason its not recognizing my AIO pump fan and radiator fans. I just switched them to ignore in Bios and it works. Temps show ok.
Didnt recognize one of my 2 TB SSD drives so had to make a drive letter manually in Windows for it to show up. Overall Review: Its a great motherboard so far. We will see how it goes with time
