Best value for 12th gen Intel
In this era of overpriced motherboards I was surprised at how feature-rich this board is at a $120 price with the CPU bundle discount. The cooling solution is robust, including chunky VRM and chipset heatsinks and an M.2 heatsink for the #1 slot. The reinforced GPU slot and front panel connector adapter are nice touches.
