    Quite a good motherboard

    Good value for money, and full BIOS, but a small problem with the Bluetooth, sometimes it doesn't work, so you have to turn the PC off and then on again, but apart from that it's a very good motherboard.

    Very good

    I already had a Gigabyte. I'm still not disappointed, it works very well and has enough connectors for my needs.

    Mitigate

    I have a motherboard with only USB 3.2 ports, so the Logitech MX Master (keyboard and mouse) cannot be used with the dongle.
    I've been using a NZXT B550 board that was perfect for my computer, but I'm not sure how to use it.
    I was on a NZXT B550 card which was perfect for my use, but almost 300 euro
    I invite you to put the price in a motherboard and if despite is constraint and for a pure gaming use without headache then this motherboard is made for you.
