The motherboard arrived quickly and it looks very well made. I have made many computers using different variations of machinist motherboards and they have all been stable and worked well.
AliExpress Shopper (verified owner) –
Good mb. Has alot of ports and functional.
Using it as a nas mb.
Note: its a h97 not a z97 so it does not support pcie burification. Therefor cannot use multiport pcie to m.2. But plenty of sata ports anyway

Not too bad for the price, the connectivity level is quite comprehensive.

Yes, it is a good motherboard compatible with basic functions and enhancements for Intel Core 4th Generation LGA1150. My 1866mhz memory only goes up to 1600 in XMP profile, even though it has two XMP profiles and one becomes inaccessible on this motherboard.

Purchased to build a mini NAS with an flashed LSI 9311 8i card for IT purposes, 8GB ECC RAM, and an Intel Xeon E3 1241 V3 processor. It has an excellent BIOS with a lot of features, including advanced options for RAID and dual Ethernet ports, which is rare in M-iTX boards.
The price is very reasonable for everything it offers, honestly.
The PCI bus is 3.0 and it’s surprising that it also offers both Wi-Fi and NVME m.2 connectivity on the board.
You couldn’t ask for more, certainly a good purchase.

It works as expected.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a battery and I didn’t have that information. The customer should be informed when the necessary components for minimal operation are not available.
