Thoroughly researched DDR4 Z690 motherboards and decided on this one. I was not disappointed. Works perfectly in new system build, zero issues. High quality features for the price, including lots of USB ports, high quality VRM design and overall great build quality. Looks great too with subtle RGB lighting. Highly recommended purchase.
