Known issues:

  • Inadequate Power Delivery

This motherboard may have insufficient power delivery, which can lead to unstable or unsafe operation. In extreme cases, this may result in hardware damage, spontaneous combustion, or other electrical failures. Users should exercise caution and consider upgrading the motherboard power supply or other components to ensure safe and stable operation. The RetroWeb community may also provide guidance and assistance in mitigating this issue.

Notes:

Basically a PCChips M538 in ATX form. Shares BIOS with the PCChips M520/M525/M530/M535/M538. Needs patched BIOS (either the patched last official BIOS or the Unicore BIOS) to use HDDs larger than 32 GB.
