Very good budget mini-itx motherboard,
I bought this motherboard to pair with a G620 for a bedroom HTPC. I am using it in a Rosewill RS-MI-01 BK mini itx case with a Kingston 64GB SSD, Samsung DVD-RW, 4GB Kingston ValueRAM and a 120W picoPSU. The picoPSU is a very tight fit against the RAM. If the RAM had heatsinks it would not fit. The power LED blinks in sleep and there is no way to control it in the UEFI (new BIOS) so I had to unhook the LED. Other than that, this is a great deal for an Intel motherboard. It was very easy to install and works with no problems at all. The HDMI output connected right up to my Panasonic 50″ plasma and everything was good to go. I also used the board to build an office PC for my wife’s uncle in a Lian-Li PC-Q07 case with a G530, 4GB Kingston ValueRAM, Samsung DVD-RW and picoPSU 90. They are giving it to him as a Christmas present. This is definitely my go-to Intel mini-itx budget board.
Pros:
– Price / Value
– Ease of use
– Very stable and reliable so far
– UEFI works with USB wifi keyboard/mouse
Cons:
– No way to control blinking LED in sleep
– Very very tight fit between RAM and picoPSU

|Great motherboard,
I am using this is a very small ITX server. It has a great feature set, well built, well designed. I have had no issues with it at all. The only thing I wish was different was the placement of the SATA ports, but that is only because the SATA cables have to come from the opposite end of the board. Even so, I had no problems.

|Works great.,
What I assumed was a faulty board turned out to be bad memory (though memtest x86 said it was fine).
Board works great.
