Asus Prime Z390-A build

Had some major stability problems early, latest bios seemed to fix the problem.
Found a deal too good to pass up on a MB/CPU combo at the local Micro Center when the stores opened back up around here, came with the i5-9400F.
Will be used mainly for HTPC & XtremeSystems F@H team.
3 low speed 120 mm fans seem to be keeping things cool with the exception of the new CPU cooler, neither of my old Zalman fit in the case.
8 GB Crucial memory with 2 WD 500 gb M.2 storage in RAID 1

Will post some pictures once i figure out how to get into advanced & find the attachment system.

Its always enjoyable to pick out new components and build or update stuff but getting things to work can be a headache sometimes. My last Gigabyte would not accept a thumb drive to load the operating system so i had to run out and buy some disks to burn a copy.
