I chose this board because it doesn’t have hideous LEDs drawing attention to it constantly. I use it with a ryzen 5 3600 6-core Processor, and an old RME PCI audio card as a music recording computer. It functions perfectly, has just the right feature set, an easy to use BIOS, and is beautiful in its simplicity. I can’t speak to how good of a board this is for gaming, as I use it strictly for computer music, but it is an ideal board for music, and any standard Windows applications.
