Paired with 1600AF and 3200 DDR4 CL16. Out of the box the CPU down clocks the ram to 2400ghz but the Mortar max has profiles to adjust this with ease. CPU running at 4.0ghz @~1.26v, ~64c at full load on the stock cooler, no issues. The mainboard has an led strip underneath the right hand side.

Perfect starting point for my second ever build. Downsizing to this from my ATX asus build was a good decision (way too much unused space in my ATX case and a lot of unused pci slots). This appeared to be the best value mATX MB on the market. Once everything was assembled it booted up first time! Happy with the service provided by CCL, all components arrived earlier than expected!

Solid b450 board, looks to be the best in the mATX range. Good bios and good features.

All good except if you use m.2 cannot use corresponding pci.

Fantastic motherboard. no need for bios update for newer cpu's. good looks and fantastic quality. red led on rhs of motherboard (not sure if you can change the colour)

This mATX motherboard has all the fittings of the normal atx. I was struggling to find a mATX with 4 ram slots. This is perfect for anyone who needs the extra slots and only has a small case. Very easy to install and the rgb on the side of the motherboard can easily be changed or synced with the cpu fan.

Nicolas

last month

Easy to use well laid out motherboard, runs cool enough and 3rd gen ryzen processors work without issues. BIOS is a bit awkward to find some CPU features and figuring out how to save configuration to profiles however when you figure it out it isn't too bad. Overall best package if you need a ryzen 3 mATX motherboard with 2 x16 for expansion, comes with a great manual for inexperienced system builders.

I have it up and running with relative ease and it's now running 'folding@home' medical research for COVID19. Check it out and contribute surplus computer capacity.

Great MB for mine 3700x, was thinking a more expensive x570 board at the beginning but it's not necessary to spend a 80-100 more with basically the same performance. End of the day, it's easy to build and happy to work with, would recommend to those who like a simple but reliable MB. The extra M.2 slot won me over compared to the tomahawk max.
