Pros & Cons
Pros
There are no frills, the board itself is quite unremarkable. The fan control is reasonable, there are two pwm/dc switchable headers along with the default cpu header which is always pwm. Some memory oc is possible up to the cpu supported maximum.
Highlights
Quality
The fan control is reasonable, there are two pwm/dc switchable headers along with the default cpu header which is always pwm.
It's a decent move from the very poor quality h310 and entry-level b365, but costs quite a bit more.
Competitiveness
There's no spdif output on the board, either at the back or through a header.
This should allow lower vrm temperatures, specially since the 9400f likes to pull about 100w peak on turbo mode.
The board is reasonably built, and the only basic b365 motherboard offering some semblance of vrm heatsinking.

While the heatsink itself is tiny there is a lip cut into the plastic shroud to allow a bit more turbulence above the sink itself

Theres only 6 usb ports at the back and for some reason they have two ps2 ports

The default effect without the software is very poor unlike my carbon motherboard which is striking

The tweaking app in bios is quite poor with laggy operation that responds very slowly to mouse input

This is a dropped ball even though theres one unmarked header that could be it im not experimenting

Some memory oc is possible up to the cpu supported maximum but you can get similar results from tightening the timings

Overall its competent without being remarkable in any way
