Reviewers Didn't Like

  • M.2 port limited to PCIe x2 bandwidth, Lack of system stability with memory speed above 2667MHz, M.2 port placement between PCIe x16 slots 1 and 2, Performance differences between SATA slots, Proximity of primary PCIe x16 slot to CPU socket causes mountin
  • Long POST times, No SLI support, No BCLK adjustment, No screen-capture option in BIOS, Automatic overclocking uses excessive voltage
  • Shared slot and M.2 connector lanes, Multigraphics performance, Chipset bandwidth limitations, No SLI, Immature BIOS, Hindered DRAM overclocking, Overly aggressive overcurrent protection, High default voltage at maximum CPU load
