Our Take

TECHYARD Techie ZX
For those looking to get a solid performing motherboard for Intel LGA1700 Based PC Builds, with all the fundamentals well done and enough ports and IO for most users, this is a solid choice at a reasonable price, especially if you like white themed PC Builds. We recommend this to go with CPUs like the i5 13400F.
