Very easy to handle for mounting. I've been using the site to install the drivers as the dvd... well my external drive seems to have some problems. I went through the site to install the drivers as the dvd... well my external drive seems to have some problems. The M2 port on the back is great. The VRM seems to work well.
Compact and well thought-out motherboard, ideal for an entry-level/mid-range gaming PC. Rather affordable price.
The pluses:
- SSD m.2 connection on the back of the motherboard
- Top BIOS! (simple, efficient)
Minuses (but really to nitpick a bit):
- no USB Type-C connection (front of some towers)
- only 4 Sata ports
- the wi-fi antennas pass in front of a USB port and the ethernet port, if both are taken, then the antennas stick out
Good quality motherboard, Mini ITX format useful to build a multimedia configuration. The integrated IGP is sufficient for photo processing and the HDMI output works under WIN10. However, you won't be able to mount the R3 AMD cooling unit on this motherboard because the crown of the cooling unit touches the heatsink at the USB/HDMI socket. This is a big stress, even though this configuration has been mounted thanks to the configurator which is supposed to avoid incompatibilities.
I was finally able to remove the crown and it just fits, to the nearest mm! (but it's not as nice without the crown). You've been warned.
I am very happy with this motherboard which does its job perfectly. I have no need for a CM with a lot of features, so it suits me perfectly.
The only drawback is that the M2 SSD is attached to the back of the CM. This means that it is not possible to have an SSD heatsink. Is this a problem? I'll see with time.
Good motherboard for those who need the mini itx format.
Good design and well supplied with connectors.
The bios is very pleasant to use and to set up. The French translation is also a nice touch.
The software suite provided is very complete and will delight those who like to fine-tune their settings.
I regret nevertheless the presence of only one slot for the case fans.
Paradoxically, there are two RGB LED connectors...
Runs perfectly well with a ryzen 2600 and 16GB of Gskill aerus 3000mhz ram
