Works as expected
Not the greatest value since it does not include a built in HDMI port. I purchased this to replace a bad ASUS board (10 years old ) and wished to keep the AMD Phenom II 6core and the existing ram. For this purpose it worked great, I had an old video card which I had to add to make everything work. It boots faster then the ASUS board by a shot and seems to be a tad faster. Been in service for a week with no blips in service. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fast board with some good features.
Good board, fast processing speed for a mini board. It does what was advertised, except for the manual reading that it can go to 32 gigs of memory, but I cannot get the memory past 16gigs with the added 32 gigs of memory.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Cleared up my problem.
My problem is solved. Needed to connect the CPU power. My apologies. The mobo works like a charm. No issues from me and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for high quality hardware at VERY reasonable prices. Thank you for all of your help. I'll readily purchase from you again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

good board tough does what it claims it can do
title says it, i used this as the basis for a low/mid level gaming pc build, havent been sorry even once. liked it enough to build a second PC for a friend with the same board. everything we plug into them is seen and functions nicely. with this board a s basis, my gaming pc can run fallout 4 with the graphics on very high or ultra very well and on high and medium like butter..same for grid autosport and mechwarrior online ( these are very graphics intensive games) my card is an old MSI Nvidia 680 GTX so no its not my awesome uber GPU thats carrying my system, pretty good range of cpus and memory sticks plug into this board, so its pretty easy to do a build on a budget and then upgrade later without needing a new MOBO every year.. btw im not saying this board will make your graphic awesome im just saying it is so compatible and adaptable you can find the right combo of parts to make yourself happy on a budget.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It worked.
Item was used to replace a failed AM2 motherboard (Phenom II x6 1090t) It needs DDR3 memory, but other than that, no issues with the replacement. Computer is up and back in action.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good board, good retailer.
I am pleased to get a new product even though it's outdated. AM3+ is more affordable then AM4 and I already had most of the components for an AM3 MB. It worked out well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
