Bought Two for budget builds for kids
Pros: Cheap, worked with Ryzen 3 3200g right out of box, even recognized Patriot ram at correct speed.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Happy, good board! Will update if I have any issues!

Cooler Master Hyper T4 - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Pros: I have a ASUS P8Z77-V LK, with a Intel I5 3470 inside, Will only mount up or down because of Motherboard heat sink. Had to take the heat spreader off one of my Vengence ram. Cools good but the fan that came with it is rattling. Keeps my CPU at 33 C idle/ 61C under full load. Use Artic Silver 5, not the ketchup pack thermal grease they sent with it.
Cons: Fan is bad out of box. Price is a little too high considering having to buy another fan
Overall Review: This is my first time buying a Cooler Master brand, and I have concerns about their Quality Control. This fan shouldn't have made it pass. I bought this over cheaper brands because I thought it would be better quality, was a real let done when I started my PC and heard this annoying rattle. I would feel reserved to recommend Cooler Master products to a friend. May try to contact Cooler Master, I'll update after I talk to them, if I can get a human there!

Bought four sticks for two budget gaming builds
Pros: Running @ 2800mhz ATM, no problems on msi b450m max. Only have 8gbs in each, got two in the mail. Was a little worried about not being on MSI's website for approved ram. But it was the right price and I like the brand.
Cons: none yet

Blows Air
Moves a lot of air, you can hear them. Components run cooler, no more thermal throttling, I'm happy, will be buying more soon.
Great budget mobo
I have purchased three of these for my kids first build. All three worked as advertised. Nice mobo for 3200g's. Paired with rx570 4gb video card.
