Gigabyte for the Win!
Gigabyte's Ultra Durable lineup has always been a very solid budget option, and this motherboard continues that trend!The board is definitely a no frills component, for the system I assembled with it, it was perfect. But it's definitely fairly spartan when it comes to expansion slots.When it comes to gaming and general use, so long as you're using a lower power CPU, such as an i3 in my case, the VRM's don't get too hot, and the lack of VRM heatsinks isn't really an issue in my case, but might be for you if you plan on using an i7 or i9.Overall, this board was excellent for the build I put together, and if you have reasonable expectations of what you want the board to do, there shouldn't be any issues with whatever components you add to it.Absolutely gets a recommendation from me for anyone looking for a budget board.

Great!
Great for gaming!Something that you may need to know is that it requires internet access to install the LAN drivers, so if the LAN doesn't work at first just run the installation disc or connect the PC to the internet via tethering, don't just give up thinking the LAN port doesn't works.

works
paired with a 10400 for a htpc. nothing fancy,limitations: 1 cpu fan header, 1 system fan header, single m2280 nvme, no wifi, no usb-c header for front panelYes it supports 11th gen intel, the people saying it doesn't shouldn't be building pcs. It has q-flash plus. Learn what it is, learn how to use it.Q-Flash Plus Update BIOS without Installing the CPU、Memory and Graphics Card

Read to learn how to upgrade BIOS and use with 11th gen processors.
***Update - I have purchased 7 of these boards so far, the last 4 boards shipped with BIOS version F.20. THEY DID NOT NEED THE BIOS UPDATED TO WORK WITH 11TH GEN.****Gigabyte's website says the GIGABYTE B460M DS3H V2 supports 11th Gen Intel processors. They do not work with 11th gen out of the box! You must upgrade BIOS to version F21 or later to use with 11th Gen CPUs. There are two was to do this.1) . Install a 10th Gen CPU on the motherboard and press DEL when computer is starting to enter the BIOS. Once you are in the BIOS follow the prompts to upgrade. You can download and save the BIOS to a USB drive from Gigabytes website. Once you have upgraded BIOS you can swap the 10th gen cpu for an 11th gen cpu.2) Use the Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus button on the motherboard - This can be done with the a complete build using a 11th gen CPU or with the bear motherboard plugged in to the PSU 24 pin and 8pin cpu power. Download the F21 or later BIOS from Gigabyte's website. Extract the files. Copy ONLY the BIOS file to a USB drive(Usually named B460MDS3HV2.F21.) There must not be any other files. RENAME the file to GIGABYTE.BIN you must name it exactly that with the .BIN. Once you have the USB drive ready with the single GIGABYTE.BIN file loaded plug it into the USB port on the motherboard that is marked BIOS. With the power cable plugged into the PSU but the computer still turned off, press the white QFlash Plus Button on the motherboard below the PCIE slots. If done correctly, you should see a flashing indicator light near the QFlash button. DO NOT touch the computer until the light has completely turned off. (about 6 min). Once the flashing light stops you can press the power button to turn on the computer.

Pretty good so far
Well built mb and great value for sub 100. I did have to go in and mess with graphics settings and switch the board to legacy and force onboard graphics as default in bios to get my new gpu to install - might have been just me but gpu had no video out until i did that. Also this model uses intel lan so use the dvd included in the package it has all the drivers.

Budget Motherboard
It has an update from this year, so support has been nice, it has basic features but for the price it is really good, no PCI 4.0 for NVME though.

Good value for money, but care with GPU latch!
The latch is really hard not to break, it's still not an important problem but I was sad when its happened after only 2 days of use when I tried to change GPU.
