Great value perfect for budget builds
Worked excellent for me. Right out of the box. It is compatible with modern GPUs, also had USB 3.0 which was a nice surprise. It’s extremely simple to install, no manual needed if you have ever installed another mobo. If you are confused about what pins are what for the front panel just take a picture and ask ChatGPT. Stress tested it and no issue there either. Excellent budget build option and I will buy another in the future.

Dead On Arrival! JUNK! DO NOT BUY!
Pros: NONE! Cons: Dead On Arrival! Tried 3 NEW power supplies, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 Different intel CPU's all of which are liested as supported by the board, 3 CMOS NEW batteries, reset CMOS, and absolutely nothing except the CPU fan spun up. No signal on 3 different monitors from VGA or HDMI, NOTHING! Dead, completely DEAD! Machinist was zero help for drivers or a manual, responded on driver question with a link to a questionable site selling a subscription to a no name and not trustworthy driver updater, very unprofessional! Conclusion: I have been building PC's as a qualified tech for 37 years and I actally know what I am doing and how to properly test hardware, si I know a Dead Motherboard when I encounter one. I am returning this useless piece of junk the day after I recieved it for a full refund, and I only wish I could charge Machinest for my wasted time as well as tying up my hard earned money whilst I wait for the return process to complete! I will never, ever buy a Machinest product again! I don't believe this motherboard was ever tested, or that it passed quality control as stated all over the box! Stay away from their products as they offer zero support and seem rather shady!

Nice motherboard
Great product no issues whatsoever. It works best with windows 10. I'm glad someone is still making new motherboards that can run older equipment

Despite bad reviews, this board works fine
My son's venerable i7 MB died. In its 2015 heyday, this was a top of the line i7PC. I thought it would be a waste to dump the CPU and RAM because technology waits for no one. I saw this MB and despite what the negative reviews said, I and decided to give it a shot, if it is bad, I can always return it. Put it all back together, and it booted fine. However, I noticed in the the 16GB (8x8) RAM was only reading 4GB and it did not recognize the sata III hard drive. I swapped the 16GB DDR3 ram with another set from another manufacturer I had laying from another dead computer , tried again and this time the MB recognized the full 16GB of Ram. Ok, so there is a RAMM compatibility issue. I swapped the SSD port to port 2 and then it recognized the drive. Hmmm, bad IDE 3.0 port? No. There are four jumpers on the MB that configure the MB to use the M.2 SSD slot, but you lose one of the SATA 3 ports in doing so. The MB comes factory configured for one M.2 SSD and one regular SATA III drive. Yes, you can download the user manual from the link on the amazon item, but it sucks because the user manual does not mention anything about the SATA configuration. The configuring information is actually spelled out at the bottom of the Amazon item description Amazon, where all the manufacturer's marketing hype is usually posted. Very stupid place for it I may add. Aside from the lousy documentation, the MB appears to be solid has given this PC a new life on a budget. We'll see how it holds up in the next few months.

Works great!
Works great for what I need it! Made a i5 4590 and gt 1030 Linux system. Despite all the bad reviews, this product worked well with me. Though the Bios is kinda barebones but that’s okay. Great value for what it is.

A good budget build mobo!
The item came in its own box, some notable features are: a 24 pin slot, 3 Sata-2 ports, a 4 pin motherboard port, a four pin CPU fan port, a PCIE slot, and two ram slots. it's a good budget board. It did not come dead on arrival for me and it works perfectly with the case I'm using it also has a VGA, HDMI, and ethernet port. The bios is a little outdated, but that's to be expected with a Chinese cheap motherboard. You really are getting what you're paying for no less and no more. Another thing to note is that it does NOT come with its own battery, make sure to get one from your local store!

Do not Buy
I am frustrated that I had no paperwork to go off of. Luckily I had experience building computers before and was able to get everything plugged in. HDMI port doesn’t work, VGA port doesn't work, 2 of the 4 SATA. ports are not functional. All around bad motherboard and I would just recommend that you look elsewhere for motherboards. This was just a temporary fix for an issue I had with my old motherboard and it still works (with limited storage) but the headache of getting this set up over 3 hours is not worth it and made me want to pull my hair out. Stay away!
