Works perfectly. Came with a little dongle to connect the case connectors. Lots of fan headers. Came with 2 heat sensors and a sound sensor. Minor quibbles:Top m.2 slot is PCI-E only. The M.2 heat shields are annoying and the screws should be captive. The bios is confusing for someone who has never used a gigabyte board.
