Great Board. No Mounting screws included. Helpful tips below
First Time Ryzen build and I can say it went smoother than other systems I have built in the past with almost no issues at all. Great Motherboard. It's well built and sturdy. Sound quality isn't as bad as other reviews had stated. The Lighting effects with MysticLight software is pretty cool to. Overall the Motherboard is pretty sturdy, Well built and I would recommend. Helpful tips below for new Ryzen builders on this board Tips: #1 If using dual channel Ram/Memory always install in the 2nd and 4th slots "from left to right" #2 For those wanting to install an upgraded version of Windows 10 "Originally upgraded from Windows 7/Windows 8/8.1" You don't need to install the previous version of windows 7 or 8 to upgrade any longer, Microsoft has now made it easy to install Windows 10 direct and using your windows 7 or 8 product key to activate your Windows 10 directly. Install Windows 10 without a product key and when windows loads go to Windows properties/System Information page and Activate while connected to the internet and It should allow you to Activate. #3 Buy some mounting screws to mount the board to the case as this board doesn't come with any needed hardware "At least mine didn't come shipped with the mounting screws as many other reviews stated" #4 I am using Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) On this board. I had to go into bios after installation of Windows and turn on XMP Profile 2. Ram/Memory was set at 2133MHz stock, After setting XMP Profile 2 then saving and restarting the Ram/Memory then was set at 2933MHz "Yours may be different" Pros: The instruction manual was great with pictures to follow (Do Read the instruction manual) Cons: Mounting screws not provided, I am very upset I got this board and ready to install into the case and there were no mounting screws provided, I am lucky I had enough from a previous build already on hand.
