Even at this unbeatable price, 1 single pwm fan connector in 2025 is not much. It doesn't offer more than the price, but that's why you buy it, so it was perfect in my case for assembling a ryzen 7-3700x + rtx3050 (low power).
Very good motherboard that fits in well with my old case.
Very easy to attach the processor.
Limited to 1 TB SSD drives.
Hi,
Good mb but missing 1 or 2 fan plug
