    all good

    The small fan never engages except at startup (must have several graphics cards) because with 2 M2s including a PCI-E 4.0 and a 3090 (PCI 4.0) at 100% I saw nothing. for the flash of the bios without processor, I had to test 3 usb keys before it flashed (one verbatim worked).

    Good motherboard

    Excellent hardware although a bit expensive,
    bios to flash, unfortunately, be careful with the last generation ryzens.

    Very good product

    This motherboard is just what I expected. Indeed it is very good for a ryzen 5 5600X (plan an update of the bios) and is extremely practical thanks to its 3 slots for ssd nvme of which 2 are in PCIE 4.0

    Sober mother card, which does not look like a Christmas tree.

    For the moment it's clear, good card to take advantage of the latest technologies (wifi 6/ LAN 2,5/PCIe 4.0) and therefore be able to upgrade the pc later if needed and it's sober.

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put a screw between the CM and the case, but it's a good idea to put the CM in first and then put the SSD in, not the other way around.

    I have no idea how to change an M2 SSD later on, as the Shield Frozr are sticky.

    New notice following receipt of a new card

    I have just received the card in Chronopost return from LDLC, appreciable and serious!
    I've just received the card by Chronopost from LDLC, I appreciate it, and it works perfectly, but not without a little scare.
    I've just received the card by Chronost from LDLC, and it works perfectly, but not without a little scare. To avoid this, if you have a watercooling system, as the card has a "pump" and "CPU fan" port, don't do as I did, connect a fan (for example the one on the case) to the CPU FAN port, otherwise the card won't boot (error "4d" on the display). (even the "4d" code is unknown in the list of displayable errors).
    Apart from that, the least important point for my note, concerns the assembly of the motherboard, good luck to put the fixing screw in the top/left corner, next to the I/O shield....

    Good card, but copy received defective

    The pluses: sober, debugging via both LEDs and a 16-segment display, 3 pcie ex 4.0 compatible sli and crossfireX, 3 m.2 connectors, integrated back panel, coolers for m.2 SSD,

    Minus: turbine noise from the chipset fan on startup, fortunately it shuts off after 3-4 seconds when everything is fine
    - I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one, so I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get a good one.
    If 4 sticks: impossible to put all 4 at the same time. (It's a shame I took a 4x16GB kit when I bought the mobo)
    The MSI support for motherboards is this nice to "confirm" that the card is faulty, but beware, no more service and no rma for private customers, forced to go through a wholesaler. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a new one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a new one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a new one, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get a new one. So 7/10, due to the faulty copy received. Otherwise I would have given it 9 or 10/10.

    Good motherboard

    Purchased with a Ryzen 3700X.

    All good points:
    * no LEDs
    * neutral colour
    * works directly with the 3700X, but still with updated UEFI
    * small hexadecimal display to give boot info (first time I've seen this)
    * very quiet, the fan stays off (except at boot time, and turns off after 3-4 seconds) (I specify that I don't have M.2 or NVME disks, which are supposed to make the fan warm up and start)
    *

    9 only, for several reasons:
    * rather high price
    * the fan (as said above, it never turns on, but if it was running I wouldn't give it the same rating)
    * "only" five PWM connectors, which may force you to buy a controller with more PWMs if the case has more slots
