Pros: Great value SLI Mobo that works well BUT ONLY AFTER...
Cons: You jump through all the hoops
Overall Review: Not much to say about the mobo - it is a solid choice for budget SLI. The IO is a little flimsy though. This is more about the + ryzen 5 3600 combo. They didn't bother updating the BIOS to work with the ryzen cpu despite it being marketed as a 'combo'. Bless the local PC store for lending me a gen 1 ryzen when I brought it in so I can update the BIOS. In the end it was a very good buy, but I hope to expect better from Newegg in the future as the incompatibility issues out of the box is simply unacceptable.
