Following the advice of LDLC's experts, I opted for this versatile motherboard, which is especially well-suited to gaming!
I ordered 2 identical motherboards from LDLC and after mounting them on PCs, one had a problem recognising the RAM bars. Diagnosis by LDLC: some pins on the processor socket were bent. Back to LDLC after sales service (postage prepaid!) and free repair! Super happy with this support and I will buy again from LDLC. Great job!
