5 motherboard features I regret not using sooner
These motherboard features became commonplace long ago

The motherboard doesn't contribute directly to your PC's performance, except by providing the necessary slots and ports and decent power delivery. Spending more on high-end motherboards, therefore, is pointless for the majority of gamers. This is what I believed for a long time, and as a result, always bought an affordable motherboard that lacked niceties like quick-release slots, SSD heatsinks, and more.
