    Sober,

    The motherboard is sober, the white has a good effect in my case.

    The positive side, the aesthetics, the simple configuration, the bundle (optional) is cool and 4 SATA cables are provided. The 2.5 Gbp/s port (I'm discovering this internet speed for the first time on a PC) does its job very well at first sight.

    On the negative side, the manual is only in English (and sometimes twisted, especially for the installation of the front connectors [USB, AUDIO].

    No problem detected during assembly. Delivery time (24h) respected by LDLC.

    Does not support 3600 mhz and dual channel on my RAMS

    It says it can accept up to 5100 MHZ, I don't know where the problem is on my side but it's impossible, to stay in the RAMS I can't put them in dual channel (the CM tells me a problem with my ram) but without the dual channel no problem, otherwise on the rest it's a very good and pretty motherboard

    By the way my RAMs are CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB 16 GB (2 X 8 GB) DDR4 3600 MHZ CL18 - WHITE
