Features-wise, this motherboard has everything a mini-ITX motherboard offers, but for an ATX build, this one is not recommended. It has only one PCIe x16 slot and doesn’t support multiple graphics cards or any expansion card.

It has excellent options for connectivity, including several USB 3.1 Gen1 ports (Type-A and Type-C),, and has USB 2.0 ports. It has four SATA6 slots and two M.2 Socket 3 for NVMe SSDs. This motherboard also has built-In Wi-Fi, which makes it best for this price point.

ASUS Aura RGB Lights have Compatibility

There are some cons of this motherboard, and check them out before considering this for your build. The ASUS Aura RGB lights have compatibility issues, and there are some older motherboards too, which have that issue.

Also, the M.2 slots run just right on the graphics card, known as the warm-side. It looks awkward to use the front panel headers on this motherboard, and that’s all about this motherboard.

This motherboard is best for compact, and small form factor builds, but if you want performance and aesthetics, I would recommend you to get an ATX motherboard and full tower case. This processor is powerful enough, and you can get the maximum performance out of it with some features enriched motherboard.
