Pretty killer specs on paper. In my experience, these AliExpress boards have a bunch of minor annoyances that add up. Examples of those annoyances from my experience include:
- a complete lack of support after the sale (you’ll never get a BIOS update, or if you do, you have to get it from some dodgy Chinese Dropbox-equivalent),
- a lack of 4-pin chassis fan headers,
- outdated SATA controllers that don’t let your computer reach higher C-states, and
- non-standard CPU coolers that you’ll never be able to replace if they fail.
So true. I’d complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can’t even know some pinout schema without trial and error.
