Good quality motherboard meeting the required requirements.
however, beware of dinosaurs like me in IT; you need to plan for a graphics card or a processor with an integrated graphics chipset, as the motherboard does not have one.
Same opinion with all the products that integrate into the central unit.
Performant
We're enjoying again with the purchase of our new central unit
Works perfectly with a Ryzen 5 3400 G, no problems installing it in the tower. It's important to note that there is no longer an IDE mode in the BIOS (for Win XP) and under Linux there is almost no feedback from the sensors, just two temperatures. So it's a big downgrade compared to an A88XM E35 V2 with an A8 7600, but that was before (2016).
Expertise and professional quotes, very quick repairs, good advice, very reasonable prices, follow-up via email, highly recommended.
Genuine MSI products, best prices on the market. High-quality packaging. Delivery within 48 hours.
