Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Great budget option
The Gaming Pro Carbon is an excellent budget option. Because it has most of the features as the higher-end motherboards, like USB 3.1 ports, support for 64GB of RAM at speeds of up to 3200MHz, multi-GPU support, 6 expansion slots. All while costing considerably less.
Pro Top notch for gaming
This motherboard is amazing for gaming, thanks to its game-friendly Ethernet and 7.1 audio and overclockability that matches high-end boards.
Pro Good overclocker
A ryzen 1700 should be stable almost all the time, at around 3.9GHz and around 1.35 volts. Though not recommended, should hold 4GHz at around 1.425 volts.
Pro Multi-gpu support
If you're into that, it supports Quad graphics cards in SLI and Quad gpu's in AMD CrossFireX. Which can be used to increase performance on games or other workloads. Though it must be noted, that not all programs scale well with multiple gpu's.
Pro Good connectivity out of the box
Has a pre-installed M.2 wi-fi module, which is relatively rare at this price point.
Cons
Con No on-board buttons or displays
Doesn't have any buttons that would allow you to power on/off or restart the system without putting it in a case first. Also doesn't have displays of any kind, which can make troubleshooting more difficult. The only thing it does have is the bare minimum, some debug LEDs. Not a big issue, but having those buttons can save a lot of time if you're going to be replacing components often on an open-air system. And having a display would help a lot with troubleshooting.
Con Can be a pain to clear CMOS on
Doesn't have a clear CMOS button, only the jumper.
