Great Value, Strings Attached
0 of 1 found this helpful This product is a great value for what you get, as long as you are willing to put some work and research into using this. As mentioned in other reviews, the board is non-standard, and will require a power adapter, which can be found online with some simple googling. The CPU mounting holes are also non-standard, and a specific cooler must be purchased, again, this is easy to find. Most, (if not all) of the coolers don't come with a backplate, and I couldn't find any online. I 3d printed one, and uploaded the files to Thingiverse. I also couldn't find a backplate for this motherboard, but this was a not an issue for me. The power button/LED pins are also non standard, for me power button was on pins 3&7 and power LED was on pins 2&6. I installed this into the case of an HP ENVY case and the mounting holes lined up, but your mileage may varry.
All things considered, this was a great value, but did require some technical knowledge and extra time to use.
