Very cool and feature packed MoBo, with a huge glaring issue. Installation and wiring went great, had a few small hiccups with my cases power button and LED headers...but that was a relatively easy to figure out. Initial boot was great, until I found that BIOS would not recognize my Samsung 980 Pro M.2 NVME as a bootable drive. Followed all the recommended protocol, updated BIOS and all that jazz. Still no dice. Started swapping slots around, and still nothing. Had to plug an old SATA drive I had laying around to get it to recognize the M.2 for a bootable drive. After installing my OS to the M.2 and running through more driver updates, I figured that would be the end...so I uninstalled the old SATA drive as I felt no need to keep it in this build. Then on booting the system up I had discovered this MoBo still refuses to recognize the M.2 as a bootable drive, so I fruitlessly played musical chairs with the slots again. Stuck, silly though it may be, with an old slow laptop HDD from my parts bin to complement my fire fast M.2 at least until I opt to try again with this headache with a more modern secondary drive.
All in all, what works is great. The layout is of this MoBo is fantastic. Having had to reassemble the hardware numerous times due to troubleshooting the M.2 drama was only slightly painful, but still a glaring red mark on my build. If I could've gotten this MoBo to recognize my M.2 with a simple BIOS update I would have gladly opted to give this board full marks. However, having this problem and needing to use an unorthodox workaround to fix it is really unacceptable...I really should drop another star or two. But, I do enjoy the anesthetics of this board and everything else went smooth.

The Motherboard is real good, the instructions leave a lot to be desired. The print is small and faint. The instructions are poor in the connection to the power supply and the front panel and fan connections.
