Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this back in june 2023. Wifi works fine, even without the antenna, but you do need it if you want a good bt. Like some weird cybernetic orca fin. It easily matches or surpasses the quality of some $500 motherboards.
Cons
This board has multiple issues that make it specifically difficult and counterintuitive to use with small form factors. Long boot up times are an often occurring issue with all itx b650 boards.
The daughterboard is too small and cracks and crumbles. The expansion card is flimsy and the board was unevessarily hard to work with. That flimsy riser card for sata and other common mobo features is terrible.
The two most egregious:. Not user error, terrible design. Shoddy and unsafe. This combo is (as i’ve come to learn) notoriously bad.
Highlights
Quality
No issues with stability, gaming performance works well.
Everything is robust and reinforced, and the ports are solid and satisfying.
It becomes a cluttered mess ruining cable management.
The entire back of this board acts as a heatsink for a pcie 4.
Price
I feel that $260 was a fair price considering how premium this motherboard is.
Giving the price i would say it's a 6 out of 10.
Packaging/appearance
My only complaint with that is that the instructions included in the box were very poor in pointing out each of these features.
Competitiveness
I would much prefer the type of antenna where it's two separate "normal" looking posts, for lack of a better term.
