The Pros: No WiFi module (WiFi module sold separately), no holes in the I/O panel for WiFi, No RGB, enough fan headers, PCI Express 5.0 x 16, BIOS Flashback worked, 8-segment display for troubleshooting. Just enough USB ports on the back I/O. No gamer-gaming VRM heatsinks. Relatively stable for my use case - CADD workstation. The board comes with minimal accessories.

Cons: Instead of the integrated VGA or HDMI, I would have preferred to see more USB ports in the back I/O, at least some additional USB 2.0. I understand the point of the VGA and the archaic looking BIOS, but the board could have been a bit more up to date - i.e. ASUS' latest W790 mobo's. How about a basic link/web address? Nahhh, QR codes are all the rage, but a BIOS on this board is pre-2008. If your NVMe SSDs have a heatsink - i.e. Corsair MP600 - the second NVMe slot is partially blocked even by a single slot GPU, in my case Nvidia RTX A4000 (not an optimal board layout for some hardware). The primary NVMe SSD heatsink included with the board is not re-usable on the other NVMe slots.

Overall: he board has been working well so far. Sadly this has been the only board which ticked all my boxes, everything else has feature-bloat I don't want to pay for. Seeing Computex 2023, some vendors are starting to pick-up on the trend of trimming the fat - no RGB, no included WiFi module - what a concept. Calling nearly every motherboard in the client segment "Gamer" "Gaming" is downright silly.
