Works great!
Works great for what I need it! Made a i5 4590 and gt 1030 Linux system. Despite all the bad reviews, this product worked well with me. Though the Bios is kinda barebones but that’s okay. Great value for what it is.

Dead On Arrival! JUNK! DO NOT BUY!
Pros: NONE! Cons: Dead On Arrival! Tried 3 NEW power supplies, 12 sticks of RAM, 4 Different intel CPU's all of which are liested as supported by the board, 3 CMOS NEW batteries, reset CMOS, and absolutely nothing except the CPU fan spun up. No signal on 3 different monitors from VGA or HDMI, NOTHING! Dead, completely DEAD! Machinist was zero help for drivers or a manual, responded on driver question with a link to a questionable site selling a subscription to a no name and not trustworthy driver updater, very unprofessional! Conclusion: I have been building PC's as a qualified tech for 37 years and I actally know what I am doing and how to properly test hardware, si I know a Dead Motherboard when I encounter one. I am returning this useless piece of junk the day after I recieved it for a full refund, and I only wish I could charge Machinest for my wasted time as well as tying up my hard earned money whilst I wait for the return process to complete! I will never, ever buy a Machinest product again! I don't believe this motherboard was ever tested, or that it passed quality control as stated all over the box! Stay away from their products as they offer zero support and seem rather shady!

A good budget build mobo!
The item came in its own box, some notable features are: a 24 pin slot, 3 Sata-2 ports, a 4 pin motherboard port, a four pin CPU fan port, a PCIE slot, and two ram slots. it's a good budget board. It did not come dead on arrival for me and it works perfectly with the case I'm using it also has a VGA, HDMI, and ethernet port. The bios is a little outdated, but that's to be expected with a Chinese cheap motherboard. You really are getting what you're paying for no less and no more. Another thing to note is that it does NOT come with its own battery, make sure to get one from your local store!

Despite bad reviews, this board works fine
My son's venerable i7 MB died. In its 2015 heyday, this was a top of the line i7PC. I thought it would be a waste to dump the CPU and RAM because technology waits for no one. I saw this MB and despite what the negative reviews said, I and decided to give it a shot, if it is bad, I can always return it. Put it all back together, and it booted fine. However, I noticed in the the 16GB (8x8) RAM was only reading 4GB and it did not recognize the sata III hard drive. I swapped the 16GB DDR3 ram with another set from another manufacturer I had laying from another dead computer , tried again and this time the MB recognized the full 16GB of Ram. Ok, so there is a RAMM compatibility issue. I swapped the SSD port to port 2 and then it recognized the drive. Hmmm, bad IDE 3.0 port? No. There are four jumpers on the MB that configure the MB to use the M.2 SSD slot, but you lose one of the SATA 3 ports in doing so. The MB comes factory configured for one M.2 SSD and one regular SATA III drive. Yes, you can download the user manual from the link on the amazon item, but it sucks because the user manual does not mention anything about the SATA configuration. The configuring information is actually spelled out at the bottom of the Amazon item description Amazon, where all the manufacturer's marketing hype is usually posted. Very stupid place for it I may add. Aside from the lousy documentation, the MB appears to be solid has given this PC a new life on a budget. We'll see how it holds up in the next few months.

Board works great If you know what you are doing....
OK, alot of bashing this Mobo, but I went for it.. I have an I7 4790 4th gen CPU out of a Optiplex SFF, so case swap you know is next to impossible and too much proprietary nonsense on the dell mobo. Hence the swap out. Now no instructions in the machinist luxury mobo box but ASUS pin out for the case header it is the same layout usually and basically the same pin out for mobos of this era. if you know what you are doing no issue what so ever. Secondly.. speaking it is a normal ATX size board had the usual psu plugs and I installed a Maxsun 730 GPU in the board slot no issues at all everything went smooth. Now the kicker the board arrived and looked like it was used before (no shrink wrap, box tape cut, and static bag seal broken) or someone had went for it and gave up and sent it back (works fine). IDK but read the description for the CPU socket and look at the gen (4th gen 1150 socket) and go to intel and research the information given and you will get your list of compatible CPUs. The build turned out great and as far as FPS its great with mid range games with High settings and AAA games at low settings normal set up for a budget build. I would buy it again. Just my take on the board cheap and works fine.
