High price-performance ratio
From time to time, ASRock's final products are as good as it gets. One lineup can turn out to be super-successful without any jambs, and literally another “mother” from a related lineup will noticeably fail and spoil the life of the user. That is why many enthusiasts and professionals are quite skeptical about the brand.
Reliable and stable performance
In the case of the B360M-HDV, we have the first scenario: the board turned out to be quite functional, inexpensive and, as far as one can judge, stable. At least, neither in my own experience, nor according to reviews on the forums, there were no reasons to kick her. There are, perhaps, rare complaints about the incorrect operation of video chips integrated into the processor, but it is usually solved by a banal reinstallation of video drivers under Win 10.
Sturdy motherboard without limits
In terms of functionality, the B360M-HDV looks like a pretty solid motherboard without any major limitations. A pair of standard slots are available for installing DDR4 RAM. The disk subsystem includes an M.2 interface and six SATA ports. To install a graphics card, there is one PCI-E 16x slot with a reinforced design. Two more PCI-E 1x are for other expansion cards. There is also an HDMI output, which is found every other time in the segment of motherboards under $100. And even less often. Plus, there is support for USB 3.1 gen2.
