An alright board for my budget travel pc. Easy to update BIOs. No PBO so choose your CPU or cooler wisely for whatever case you using. Over all gets the job done!

I bought this to pair with an AMD 8500g. I knew going in that I would have to update the bios before the processor would work, but the price was right. Got the motherboard and attempted to update the BIOS, the process is fairly straightforward but there is really no vendor documentation that I could find besides 3 steps listed on the marketing page of their website. Well followed the steps and nothing happened. Looked up Youtubes and they provided additional detail that the process is very dependent on the USB stick and how it is formatted. I was using an older USB 2.0 formatted as FAT32 which seemed to be the recommendation by all the YouTubes but still couldn't get any indication that the update process was working. As a final attempt I scraped around in my junk drawer and found a very old USB that would allow me to format to FAT16, loaded the software on the stick, plugged it in and pushed the button and suddenly lights started blinking. Once the process looked to have completed plugged everything else and everything seems to work well, with the exception of Bluetooth, which is really glitchy, hoping to find an updated driver that will fix that. The BIOS software is nice. No problems pairing DDR5 RAM that had the XMP stuff (Corsair Vengance). No issues enabling high bandwidth support. Benchmarking seemed to support that everything was working at the correct published speeds. Bios appears to support overclocking even though they say it isn't available on the chipset, I haven't tried it, and probably won't, but the option seems to be available. UPDATE: I was able to find a newer Bluetooth driver and now don't have issues with bluetooth. 1 month in and motherboard has been a champ, lots of use, no issues. Updating to 5 stars.

Seems to be of a high standard of manufacture. Easy to install and it booted and worked immediately. I used a Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 Low-Profile CPU Cooler and this fitted easily in the iStarUSA 1U chassis with enough clearance for airflow. However this mini-ITX board has overall poor airflow with the memory cards blocking air coming from the front of the chassis and the solid backpanel blocking airflow at the rear of the board. As a result it's not really possible to use the NVMe M.2 2280 slot on top of the chipset heatsink as the NVMe card runs very hot. 72C continuously. It's having to deal with the chipset heat plus the NVMe heat. I ended relocating the NVMe card to the sole PCIe slot to keep it well away from the heat sources on this motherboard. This reduced the NVMe temperature to 58C, a 14C degree improvement. I used the "MICRO CONNECTORS Low-Profile M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe 4.0 Adapter with Heat Sink for 1U PCIE-M21U40HS".

Built and works. Just a little concern on the packaging, it does not have enough protection like bubble wrapping before insertion from amazon packaging. Directly inserted in the a bubble wrap pouch of amazon.

I put this in a mini PC build with a Ryzen 7 and a 4060 TI. It rips guys.
