So this board has 4 slots for ssd's and hardrives, but note that two are most likely going to be covered by your gpu. I have a 2080 msi Duke, which granted is a massive card, but even a normal size card covers the the these two slots. Aswell the WiFi card slot will cover the first fan of your gpu if you have a big card, another thing to cover. Next negative, the m.2slot is right underneath the gpu! So I haven't used this type of ssd as my gpu is likely to lean on it and make it to hot. The board is one the smaller side, however other than the negatives stated it has a good bios and is easy to fit. It is a good board, it's just the m.2 slot and WiFi card slot is to close to the gpu slot in my opinion.
The UEFI bios is great, the OC mode works perfectly and got me a stable all core 4.2ghz overclock instantly. Overall I'd highly recommend this board.

Aw yeah.
Windows 10 Pro
This motherboard obviously
Ryzen 7 2700 @ 4.0GHz (Arctic Freezer 34 CO)
2x8 DDR4 3600MHz CL14 (Micron e-die, D9WFL)
Antec EarthWatts Gold Pro 550W
Palit RTX 2070
CPU: 1.4V (1.33V) LLC1
SOC: 1.1V (1.08V) LLC1
RAM: 1.45V
I am running the lowest possible stable voltages, CPU and SOC tested with OCCT Large for 1 hour. Memory tested with HCI Memtest up to 800%
I have mixed feeling about overclocking on this board. For me it does just fine because my CPU cannot do 4.1 anyway. However the vdroop is severe (voltage in the brackets is average voltage at max load), LLC modes range from 1 to 8, the one with the lowest vdroop is mode 1 which still vdroops a lot. VRM switching frequency settings are not available on this board. VRM heatsink is amazing, 100C MAX after 1 hour of OCCT Large while the CPU + SOC draw in excess of 180W. SOC VRM does not have a heatsink so I advise against high voltages on that.
I do have some concerns about my idle voltage of 1.4V which is over the threshold of 1.38V recommended for zen+. However, oxide breakdown which is the cause of CPU degradation from high voltages scales with power draw and temperature, which are 25W and 35C at idle respectively. I do not know how well does it scale but 1.4V at idle is definitely less harmful than 1.4V at load.

No issues, plug and play with Ryzen 5 3600 and Crucial ballistix 3200 ddr4.
Four fan headers, cpu and pump header too.
Led boot indicator.
Rear Usb bios flash.
Nvme is above graphics card so has good airflow.
Etc etc....
