    At the top

    After several months of use, the motherboard works perfectly. There's really nothing to say about the quality. It's very good value for money.

    Slow start

    Very good motherboard for the Raid, but very slow to boot, and slow to shift even with the fast boot mode.

    Renaissance PC

    Replacing a few years old ASUS P5N-D in an Alienware Area 51-7500.
    Very simple installation after checking the 650w power supply connections and taking a photo of the old motherboard plugged in. The processor was replaced by an I5 9600kf. The RAM is DDR4, 40 GB. So minimal replacement of the core of the machine.
    The first time I turned it on, in a few minutes, the bios set itself up; that's good. The interface is well done if you want to come back to it.
    LED strips set up, connected to the two header LEDs and then set up with Aura Sync, which is not very practical to use.
    An M2 for W10 support in place of the SSD. This transfer was the longest operation.
    The PC goes back for a few years of use and settings too.
    The software provided by ASUS is interesting to install but not necessarily useful (for RGB leds, overclocking, memory / processor / network perf).

    Good motherboard, and fast shipping.

    I've been a customer since 2002 (the shop on rue de Marseille!), and I'm still very satisfied with LDLC,
    And concerning the product, I am also happy with the choice thanks to their comparison.

    Competitive price but order tracking needs improvement

    The motherboard is what I wanted and the price seemed competitive. The order tracking by LDLC, on the other hand, was deficient. I was told on the website that the delivery of my order would be delayed. I asked the support team who confirmed what I saw on the site without doing any research. The motherboard was in fact delivered as planned when I ordered it. I am therefore generally satisfied with my purchase.
