    Best small-format compromise

    I chose this motherboard to put in the node 304 case from fractal design, which for me is the best value for money. Its only fault I would say is that it doesn't have a 2.5gbps ethernet port.

    Good motherboard

    The card works smoothly and is perfectly compatible with the rest of the components. The BIOS is simple, as is updating it.

    Perfect for Windows 11

    To rebuild a HP 7610 SLIM pavilion with athlon 3200ge 35w.
    I put a ryzen 5 4600g and 16gb of ram textorm, power supply fx350g from silverstone.
    The processor and memory were recognized immediately...
    Under cinebench r23 in multi 8900 points.
    Windows 11 installed without any problem.
    Wifi and Bluetooth hyper compatible with all my devices.
