### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good choice, easy setup 10/10
*by J***M on December 24, 2024*

I run a mid range gaming PC, and this has been running strong. Everything is nicely labeled on the board, and it comes with more than enough screws.This is my first PC build and the motherboard made it really easy to connect everything, when I had close to no idea what I was doing.The wifi speed is good, not nasa speeds but also not bad.It’s average size for a motherboard, works with a lot of cases which makes for a wider variety of options on how you want your PC to look.Amazon wants me to write about the heat sink, so yeah it’s pretty good I guess.And last, the BIOS, it’s easy to navigate and has overclocking options but I haven’t messed with those yet.Overall I would highly recommend this to others, I bought mine, and one as a gift for a friend. 10/10

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No issues in my build
