    Very beautiful, but...

    Very beautiful, it deserves a transparent case.
    On the other hand, a bad point for the BIOS that comes with it, which is not only abstruse and untranslated, but above all is not set up to accept W1indows 11, and I haven't managed to update it (would that have been enough?).
    Fortunately, there's R.U.F.U.S, I might still be there!
    Otherwise, once I'm away, it works pretty well.

    Unable to start the system

    I have read on multiple forums that the UEFI is not up to date and that with the owner I ordered it does not pass AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2100GE (3.2 GHz)
    I would have gone to another manufacturer if I had known.

    Efficient and beautiful.

    The motherboard has the latest connectors, and works very well.
    The lights are adjustable and give a nice effect (case with window).

    There are no errors in the description.
    The motherboard has 2 PCI-E and 6 SATA, but only in theory.
    When connecting an M.2 PCI-E SSD, this disables the second PCI-E slot on the motherboard.
    When you connect an M.2 SATA SSD, it disables 2 SATA ports on the motherboard (my case).

    I regret that there is only one cooler on the M.2 PCI-E and not on the SATA.
    In short, for a reasonable budget, a very good motherboard.

    Descriptive error

    In fact, there are 6 serial ATAs and not 4.
    Also an error on the number of PCi slots
    Otherwise, everything works fine. The "plastic" hardware seems a bit more fragile than before. A PCi graphics card latch broke during the first installation. But this does not affect the operation in any way. The "illuminations" are useless if the case has no "window".
