Bof
The motherboard failed twice.
Twice the computer won't boot, it launches, but nothing happens, it looks like a capacitor problem.
Maybe not lucky, or is it common?

Nothing to complain about.
Motherboard mounted in a mini Antec VSK2000-U3 case bought here to stick an old Ryzen 2700, 32GB of ram and an RX 6400 to make an HTCP, it's perfect. Bios update OK. Very complete and easy to mount for a compact size. Started up very quickly.

Good product
Chosen to update a very old desktop Linux configuration.
A bit hard to set up because you have to modify the BIOS on the MMU accesses by tapping.
I also had to dismantle the processor support because it was not adapted to my AMD RYZEN 3 4300GE.
Now with the installation of an NVME disk it boots up almost instantly!
I'm very happy with the advice of LDLC and my purchase as it was well priced.Review automatically translated -

Perfect
A little too powerful for a desktop PC but the price/performance ratio is good enough to be worth it
The CPU fan mount is very effective but needs to be fitted before inserting it into the case
All ports are useful and numerousReview automatically translated -

Good, but...
For a Linux use, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to update the Bios. Not that the Proc. is not recognized (AMD 3200g), but there are big problems of instability as soon as one uses external USB storages.
After 3 weeks of trouble and hours spent on the internet, it turns out that the culprit is AMD who took a long time to provide a viable driver (for Linux) to the MC manufacturers. Once the update was done, everything was fine...Review automatically translated
