I've found this board very easy to use, a few features that weren't obvious to me ahead of purchasing:
Integrated I/O shield fit well into case and avoids annoying connector misalignment.
The wifi antenna has a magnetic base that allows it to sit nicely atop my tower.
BIOS is easy to use, and hardware monitoring tools seem to work well.
GPU release button is great, though non obvious at first.
Some things to improve:
It's not entirely obvious what everything in the box is, particularly the M.2 retention parts.
Given that the green colour logos etc are all stickers, (and some other stickers are included), it'd be nice if some alternate colours were included.
Has some good extras like: shielding, 6 system fans, thermal padding for M.2. Loving the integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, no need for pesky dongles!-
However, the RAM slots could be 0.5CM lower - my ram casings are touching the bulky plastic of the top radiator fans at the moment.
I chose this board mainly for the poissibility to install 4 NVME drives & the built in WiFi.
I'm only using the 5Ghz WiFi and the link speed is maxed out with my WAP which is good to see.
The BIOS has loads of options I've not explored yet. Being able to adjust the case fan speeds was welcomed, it set them high with low temps but a quick change and they are silent. I did a BIOS update using a USB drive which was easy to do.
Only downside is I didn't find a physical bit of paper showing where all the features are, they are on the website but a small bit of paper would have been nice :) The GPU release button really helped during the install process, once I realised it was there.
