I bought this pack to upgrade a PC used for light office applications and photo scanning. The aim was to get to grips with a Windows 11 migration at a lower cost. I am completely satisfied as my PC has been migrated and is very responsive for the use I make of it.
If you encounter the error code
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
with a Ryzen 3 3200G (this is my case, but the problem exists with the Ryzen 5 3400G), you need to downgrade the BIOS to version P3.20.
You need a minimum BIOS version for this generation of Ryzen, but not the most recent versions!
Cheap motherboard, not much more expensive than an A320 from Asus.
A bit thin, but well made, well studied (nothing to do with the ugly Gigabyte).
A very well done and studied bios that makes the Asus bios look like a beginner's bios.
the negative: no heatsink on the VRMs, but OC is still possible but watch the temperature
A limited set of documentation and tools, but the essentials are there.
Asrock has become a must-have like MSI, ahead of bigger companies and we understand that with their products.
It's an entry level product but not a cheap one, far from it, I'm satisfied

I have no complaints about the card, it is as described.
I added a PCI card with an IDE adapter on top to allow for DVD drives and old hard drives which are recognised.
I used a 3200G processor which was recognised without the need to upgrade the firmware on the card.

Installed in a low-cost virtualisation machine. The installation in the box was simple, the doc was clear. I'm not sure how to set up a raid, but the doc says it's pretty hard to find info on how to do it - so I don't know what to say about it, but I've stopped looking because I don't have the time. The minus point is for that. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the Gskill memory, but it's a good idea to use the Gskill memory for normal use.
Good motherboard for this price, installation not very difficult. To connect the cables it was not easy though. But it's largely doable with patience!
The BIOS is not at all basic (contrary to what I expected) and even allows easy setup!
