Pros: Was only $90 when I bought it last year
Has black/red color scheme that I love
Red LEDs are extremely subtle but still noticeable
Easy to build with
Cons: Ram slots are extremely close to the CPU. Do LOTS of research when buying an aftermarket cooler for this AM4. Took me 2 tries/buys to find one that didn't block any ram slots (Noctua NH-U12S). Most other coolers mount horizontally instead of vertically and end up blocking one or even two ram slots, making dual channel not an option. Noted, I do have Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB Ram, which is unusually tall for ram. Just be cautious.
Other Thoughts: Overall, not sure if its worth its now $150 price point, as there are many other better mobos out there for this price I believe. But if it ever hits $90 again like I paid for it, its a steal.
Pros: It was easy to set up for a first timer (Me) - Just follow the instruction guide to plug things in the right spots
I like the red/black outline
BIOS menu is easy to navigate and use
Allows easy overclocking of CPU
Cons: Ethernet adaptor didn't work right off the bat, had to download updates to a USB stick and update it to get internet working.
Other Thoughts: I bought this motherboard back in May of 2017 and paired it with the Ryzen 5 - 1600x processor. At the time, Ryzen processors were brand new and so were the motherboards supporting them. For the first few months, I didn't get full use of RAM speeds due to new hardware not quite working fully - specifically, the motherboard needed more work. But once some more updates were released, everything lined up and now it works beautifully.
Pros: Don't know where to begin. For the 350 series of boards and price this isn't a bad deal. I bought two of these and built them for my son and I using 1600x CPU's with PC4 3200 Ram. We opted for XFX RX 580 8GB cards right before the mining prices took over. Overall these boards have performed great. Read through the manual for storage port settings and use website support for compatible RAM and NVME devices if you plan to use them. Also, be sure to update your BIOS from the website and follow instructions if you plan on using 3200 RAM.
**UPDATE EDIT**
I wanted to update and say that both these boards are still going strong. No issues and the bios updates have taken with no issues. I have moved the boards to different cases and have installed NVMe drives to both as well. With NVMe you might want to get an aftermarket heatsink to install but this design is great as the slot is above the GPU slot compared to below it. It is still a great ,strong and solid performer.
Cons: The only con I have are minor design features. The RAM slots and CPU socket could be slid down a little bit for top case clearance when installing a bulkier cooler or bulkier RAD on top portion of case. Clearance I had on both cases from different manufactures was just enough. Not a deal breaker but would have been convienent. Overall, the tweak town review was pretty spot on and the performance of these things is definitely outstanding.
Other Thoughts: I don't know why so many bad reviews on DOA and whatnot. I use an ESD safe work area with mat and wrist straps when handling any of this type of circuit assemblies. I am an Avionics Engineer so I practice ESD safety at all costs. Also with the copper PCB that this thing uses, make sure your mount screws are completely fastened in all the way to assist in grounding the board. Should be touching the little dots in the fastener mount holes. Like I said, I bought two of these with the Ryzen combo special about two weeks apart. The only issue I would say was going through each BIOS update in proper order (which I didn't find an issue at all) to get my RAM to clock properly. The G.Skill Ripjawz Ram that I used intially wouldn't clock to the full speed with the XMP 2.0 profile. Newegg switched them out for me with no issues. Easiest exchange I have ever done. I actually used a cheaper RAM brand, the Team T-Force brand and it took it with no problems. Booted right up at the full clock speed.
I would suggest to make sure you have a power supply tester before you attach one to your MOBO. Practice ESD safety to improve your luck when handling any type of electronic equipment. Read the manual for proper settings and make sure to check the QVL to make sure you have working components.
Overall my son and I are very happy with these boards, they work great and have been going great for the past two months so far. Hope this review helps. I am definitely a happy customer.
Pros: Solid. Looks great. Newest bios version is great. Have a Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to 3.9 and it is just solid.
Cons: Kind of finicky with memory. Finally got that worked out with (2) gskill 16gb Dual Channel
Pros: It works
Posted on the first attempt
All ports work (except for the display ports but I have no way to know if they do or don't work)
Cons: LEDs around or under the heat spreader below the RAM slots do not work (it is not a software or BIOS problem I have reloaded and reinstalled everything including windows)
The BIOS overclocking is a little hard to understand to someone new to overclocking (my old motherboard would adjust the voltage according to the clock you set, this one is manual)
Other Thoughts: Would like a help section for the overclocking and/or it would help with overclocking (adjust voltage depending on the clock you set)
Pros: No pros because the motherboard is defective.
Cons: Received this motherboard today and does NOT work. No video output. I put in one of my spare video cards and got video output. Totally do NOT recommend this motherboard.
Other Thoughts: No, I would not recommend this motherboard.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please verify that using CPU has APU (integrated GPU) in order to work with onboard video.
If using CPU does not built-in APU that required discrete VGA card.

Pros: Enough BIOS feature to overclock R5 `600 to 3.9GHz stable. RAM did not get recognized via XMP but was able to manually adjust in BIO as well.
Cons: Better heatsinks, if overclocking make sure you got airflow, small heatsinks do just enough so some airflow will help VRMs
Other Thoughts: Would recommend this board to anyone looking for a good budget board
Pros: Seemed like a good choice for its price at the time
Cons: Won't Turn on
Other Thoughts: I just installed it into my tower, didn't even boot it up yet. I plugged everything in and the light on the motherboard light up but when I press the power switch it wouldn't boot. I'm pretty sure I have enough power to run it however whenever I push the power button it won't boot up.
The rest of my specs are as follows
-AMD RYZEN 5 1600
-ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560
- 1 X Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) DR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory

-Silicon Power 60GB SSD S55 TLC (SLC Cache Performance Boost) SATA III 2.5' 7mm (0.28') Internal Solid State Drive
Idk if it matters about what kind of tower and power supply I have but here
-DEEPCOOL TESSERACT SW Mid Tower Computer Case
-EVGA BV Series 100-BV-0450-K1 450W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Please trouble shoot the mainboard with known good components and power supply.
• Check the power outlet, try with another power cord.
• Check the power supply’s power switch is on at the back.
• Unplug the power if the outlet and power cord are fine.
• Remove all components from mainboard (CPU, memory, VGA, HDD/SSD, USB devices, etc..).
• Remove the mainboard from inside computer to outside, place the mainboard on mainboard box (to avoid short or static cause damage the mainboard).
• Clear the CMOS.
• Reinstall the CPU and CPU cooler.
• Re-connect the power supply’s 24+8 or 4 pins ATX power firmly.
• Connect the computer case’s power switch to mainboard (Panel1)
• Plug the power back to PSU.
• Turn the power on to check if it’s get the power.
• Populate the components one by one to test for screen POST if it gets the power.
