I'm very pleased with the service and the quality of the product. Great service, as always! (100 characters is long ^^)
I am very pleased with this product. I'm very pleased with this product, it is very well packaged and the motherboard works very well.
I put 8* because the access to the sata plugs is difficult because they are not perpendicular to the card, so it's a bit tricky for my clumsy fingers
The same goes for the front panel controls.
Also there are only 2 USB 3
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it with a laptop or not, but it's a good idea.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it with an I7 or not.
A bit expensive...
I've seen cards of this size with more legible inscriptions
For a first configuration, there is not much in the box...
Otherwise, OK, I was able to assemble my configuration and install some nice Corsair RGB fans, there are enough connectors
Buy to upgrade my setup, I boost my i5-8600K processor from 3.6 to 4.6GHz without flanking the motherboard. I have a feeling of rebirth. The only negative point on the picture is that it looks black but in reality it is a bit brown. Good motherboard with the best gaming price/performance ratio. Next upgrade for me is the i9-9900KF
Well, I've just finished assembling this motherboard with all the manufacturer's compatible components but... the DRAM LED on the motherboard indicates that the memory slots are not functional. I've just finished assembling this motherboard with all the manufacturer's compatible components, but the motherboard's DRAM LED indicates that the memory slots are not functional:
- Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 C15 2x16GB
I tested the memory modules on my old system and they worked fine on an old ASUS motherboard.
If anyone has any idea why it's doing this, I'd love to not have to return the hardware due to a defect
I had an old motherboard so I bought this one for gaming and it performs great for warzone.
The installation was easy. The BIOS I don't find very well organised. 5.1 sound compatible, that's what I needed.
The pluses: performance, great value for money, easy OC with xmp profile.
minus : just 2 sata cables, a sheet folded in 4 for a manual, first boot complicated.
very good motherboard, sober for those who don't want rgb and leds everywhere, only negative point for me, having several external devices, lacks one or two usb ports more
