ASRock B250M Pro4

Advantages: • Appearance
• Price
• Quality

Disadvantages: While not watching.

Comment: • Excellent motherboard model! Installed into it
• Processor: Intel Pentium-G4600
• Cooling: Deepcool Gammaxx 200T
• Power supply: 450W ATX 2.3 Thermaltake TR2 S
• Memory: DDR4 DIMM 8Gb, 2400MHz, CL17, 1.2V Samsung (M378A1K43BB2-CRC)
The support site has all the information, it is very convenient to use. UEFI - convenient, clear and fast. Everything works like a watch. The most pleasant experience.

Advantages: Price and functionality. There is everything you need to build a compact gaming computer with a single video card on board.

Disadvantages: 1) Video connector - D-Sub - on the back panel is mounted on very flimsy plastic legs, and if you plug the video cable into the connector without holding it with your hand from inside the system unit, there is a big risk of simply breaking it.
However, this connector is probably already used by few ... although it is I who now use it and test the assembled computer by connecting it to my monitor via a second cable. :)

2) On mATX, the board has only 1 PCI and 1 PCI-e x1 slots ... and when installed in the top PCI-e x16 slot, which is very large, for my class, MSI 660 GTX HAWK, I lost PCI-e x1, and The old, but true sound audigy 2ZS, having risen into a single PCI slot, almost completely blocked the bottom fan holes of the video card, so we will now have to be content with the integrated Realtek ALC892 audio codec.

However, in defense of the motherboard, it is possible to say that it is designed for installing large-sized video cards and you cannot assemble the same compact game system with such a video card ...

Comment: Considering the ATX photo of the B250M Pro4 purchased by me, with its 3 PCIe 3.0 x1 and 1 PCI slot carefully tucked into the bottom of the motherboard, I am convinced that if I overpaid ~ 500 rubles for the ASRock B250 Pro4, I would not feel any inconvenience after installing any large-sized video card .

And the rest seems to be satisfied for now ... :)

Advantages: Works without complaints immediately out of the box
There are all necessary connectors
Compact
It has a radiator, but in this case it is more made for the species.
Supports CrossFire and SLI

Disadvantages: Yes, in general, there are no obvious ones (in my opinion), well, yes, compact (connectors are close), well, yes, there is not that set, as in Asus motherboards of the top price segment. But all this is not even flaws, but simply the properties of a budget motherboard.

Comment: Gathered on her computer average price segment. The structure includes:
Core i5 7400
GeForce Gtx 1050ti (single ventilator)
2x4 gb 2400mhz of RAM
120gb ssd sata III
500gb hdd
DeepCool Theta 31 pwm (just a compact, not expensive cooler)
Aerocool KCAS 500w
ASRock b250 (this is the motherboard)
The case is just a cheap box without a side window for mATX boards
This system is quite enough for a comfortable game in my favorite online games at the maximum graphics settings, BUT (!) I have a 1366x768 monitor with a dvi connection connector.

Advantages: 1. Protective casing
2. Cooling radiators (although they are rather decorative)
3. Appearance
4. 2 M2 type connectors
5. Beautiful and functional BIOS
6. software

Disadvantages: There are no obvious flaws.Unless you want to make CrossFire on it, then there will be problems because The second PCI port is right next to the USB and front panel connectors and the second card will not fit there voluntarily.

Comment: I bought together with the i5 7500, Gammaxx 300 and the white 8 gigabyte DDR4 Crucial Ballistix bar. Later bought the Gigabyte GTX 1050 with backplane. The system looks gorgeous, no problems.

Advantages: all necessary connectors, software, design, intuitive Russian bios, 2 sata cables included

Disadvantages: did not reveal

Comment: Excellent pay for your money! Best in the budget segment!

Advantages: First is the design. This plastic white frame above the ports of the back panel and just below makes just a huge role in the design. Also, silver radiators are excellent in the range of tower "gray" coolers.
Do not squeak, do not hold together, great mother. It has 2 m.2 slots (but only one PCI-E seems), it can come in handy.
6 sat, 8 pin power, you can make a crossfire if necessary

Disadvantages: This white casing for some reason was dirty. Finger not erased, a finger with saliva too (

Comment: I was looking for a mother with 4 ddr slots and it wasn’t necessary to flash under i5-7500. Of all this I liked the design, overpaid 300-400 rubles for it. But pleases the eye. Oh yes, and it seems 3 years warranty

Advantages: It looks good, you can put in the case with a window, an excellent bios, one of the m2 high-speed ports (useful in the future). There are all the necessary ports and slots for an ordinary user. For a home working, entertainment and gaming system, more and do not need)

Disadvantages: The quality of any thing is estimated by its service life) There are no obvious flaws, and time will tell)

Comment: I liked it very much, everything arranged for ports and outputs, for 5000r an excellent choice with the possibility of further upgrade in the future) On its basis I collected the budget system G4600, 2 x 4GB ddr4 for 2400 MHz, gtx1050 Ti.
