While the VRMs are beat out by the MSI and Gigabyte boards in this category, this particular board is a great option for sandwhich style cases like the FormD T1, Ghost S1, SSUPD Meshlicious, etc. due to the M.2 cooling. CPU cooler compatibility leaves a lot to be desired, but if you go for this board you are probably water cooling so I don’t think I can knock stars off for that. Nice build quality overall.
