Complete and sufficient for gaming and the BIOS is very intuitive and easy to get to grips with, very comprehensive.
The only point is the RGB pins which are very badly placed.
Purchased to replace an MSI whose socket had started to melt and whose customer service refused to do anything because it was too old.
No start-up issues once everything was connected.
Now we'll see how it performs over time.
The only minor negative is the software, which struggles to synchronise with the peripherals for RGB management.
Easy to install, the case panel connections are easier than with my old motherboard
ATX format that just fits into my little case
with a ryzen 3600 and 16GB of ram does the job under linux ubuntu 24
Very good motherboard that has been doing the job for over 2 years.
BIOS very easy to use and navigate
