Good motherboard, does its job

Overall a good motherboard. The 3 M2 ports for SSDs is convenient, plenty of fan headers, and the BIOS Flashback is nice to have. Also, having the included IO shield is nice touch, glad to not have to deal with installing a separate one. Only thing I would want more of is ARGB headers.
