    An ARGB 12v header malfunctions

    Perfect board for a 7 5800XT, but with one small problem: the 12V header "LED_C1" does not give a green colour.

    Perfect

    I installed it in my new PC with a ryzen 7 3700x without flashing the bios, it also detected my USB stick containing Windows 10 straight away without having to fiddle with the bios.

    Worked well, but...

    I've been using it for 3 months (bought it in September 2022) but after an error on my ram bars when I went to the BIOS it only detected 8gb out of the 16 installed, the pc randomly freezes, either at boot time when I have no image, or a few minutes after opening the system. I had to reattach the bars, which were not well inserted. The result is that when I restarted the computer after checking that all the cables were properly connected, the motherboard doesn't turn on anymore, there is no image on the monitor, and I can't even check if my hard drives are intact or not...
