Personally, I have never been someone who buys an expensive motherboard just for the sake of it. I currently use a £60 Frontech Z97P-D3 with my high end gaming build, as I dont think motherboards make a huge difference.Now, this board will not overclock. However, neither will a non K intel chipset so if you use it with something like an i3 4130 like I do in my brothers build, it works perfectly. The only downside I see to this board is that it only has 1x System fan header, but that can be resolved by buying a really cheap splitter for £2/3. I would recommend this, it is a great little board at a fantastically competitive price.Pros:- Cheap price- Easy to set up/install- Comes with 2x Sata cables- Has sata 3 and USB 3Cons:- Not an overclockable board- Only one system fan header- only PCI-E x16 2.0 (not 3.0) – this isn’t really a noticeable difference though, performance loss is less than 5%Overall, I’d recommend this motherboard to anyone looking for a 1150 board that doesn’t need to overclock.

Seriously, you can’t go wrong with this one. I wish I had more DDR3 slots, but it’s really good. I just love this, and it was a good budget too! I recommend this to anyone who’s building their first computer, AND experienced ones too.Pros:- Fast- UEFI- CompatibleCons:- None so far!

This is not a high end board but I am using it as a baseline for systems that I am replacing at work. I have currently 4 of these boards running and only had one problem with a dead board when I picked up an open box from microcenter. (they returned the board without any problems) This vendor is shipping the higher end board with DVI on it and if it had not been a slight upgrade I would have had a problem because I have images and the drivers might have been an issue. The four boards I am using currently are solid and I have had no problems. It would be a good board for low end gaming or general business.

Siempre compro placas base Frontech, en esta ocasión buscaba una económica que fuera compatible con un i3 4160 y esta lo es sin actualizar la bios( Me llego el modelo de Rev 2.1), por el precio es una buena opción, quizá no tiene tantos puertos pero es una placa muy confiable.

Very easy to install, and works like a charm.Basic board for anyone who wants to do a PC build on a budget. Dont expect anything fancy from this since they have a lack of PCI connections.But the addition of the AC8260 WiFi card should get Intel WiDi workiing on this board.I have had this for less than a month. so i will update the post once i have spent more time with the board.

I received the first board and installed it and worked and worked trying to get it to work. but when I finally took it to a guru, he saw some of the pins were bent. I contacted the seller and was credited and now have a new one and it is purring! I am very pleased with my purchase!

The board came decently packaged, albeit only in the anti-static bag. Looks nice and came without damaged connectors or scratches. Haven’t tested it yet, but I expect it to be very stable.

Great little board, works well with my CPU. I was worried because my CPU is a Haswell Refresh 4690K (I know I should be using a Z97 chipset, but budget), but the motherboard was revision 2.1 with F2 BIOS. No need for any changes to the BIOS. I bought new hoping that it would be more compatible, and I was right.Pros:Works with Haswell RefreshVery small boardConsNot a lot of USB ports 2X 2.0, and 2X 3.0 in the back, as well as 2X 2.0 Front panel headers no 3.0 headers (could easily get a PCIE 1x 3.0 header card)

Great board. Easy setup. even ran my pentium g3258 without a bios upgrade 🙂 ,did not buy it for that but it’s nice to know just in case. Running with a pentium g3240. This board + cpu = Happy wife.

I got this as a budget motherboard for my first PC build, I wasn’t expecting anything mind blowing, but something pretty decent, and that’s what I got. It came in with no visible damage, so it’s on to a good start. Note that it doesn’t support use USB 3.0 in the cases that support it, and there is only one port for case fans and a cpu cooler. Other than that, it’s a good motherboard. Note: my build isn’t complete.

I went into this purchase with limited knowledge on building a computer so keep this in mind.Very easy to navigate BIOS. Feels like a quality board for the money. The i/o fitting is very cheap and flimsy. Only has room for one other fan besides the cpu fan. Doesn’t have a USB 3.0 fitting for the front of the case. Other then that everything works great.If I could have done it all over again I would have gone with the same company but gone with a board that has the little bit of extras that I wanted.

Arrived with everything intact. No damage noted at time of opening and inspection. I received REV 2.1, so that is a plus. All listed items were enclosed in the box. Have not installed yet, so as soon as it boots and survives the 24 hour burn in, this is all I have.UPDATE: 07/25/17 – After updating bios, I have not turned this pc off and I have had no problems what so ever.
