The motherboard was selected by the LDLC team, it works perfectly, the assembly and cable management were done well.
No bad surprises: with 4x8Go of RAM (salvaged, but 16Go is enough) and an R5-5600, it lets me upgrade my old PC to W11. The bios update is very simple (just the motherboard and the PSU and a USB key, no need for CPU or RAM for this step). Ideal for small DDR4 budgets that don't have extreme needs or a recent setup.
I wanted to upgrade my old PC (MSI Z170, I5 6600K, GTX 1060) and keep my DDR4 memory (given the current prices).
Paired with a 5800X and an RTX 5060, I am very satisfied with the performance for a reasonable price, and not being a PC gaming expert,
I can only recommend it. What's more, having already dealt with LDLC's after-sales service, I can sleep soundly ;-)
The motherboard is perfect, easy to configure with lots of options, and what's more, LDLC delivered it very quickly.
Products received very quickly and in very good condition, and above all at a very competitive price.
