    Perfect

    Works perfectly, used first for a Ryzen 7 3700X and then a Ryzen 9 5900X, this card has never had any hardware or software problems, the transition went very smoothly.

    Excellent product

    Very good product. The motherboard is very easy to install and looks great. I put 32GB of corsair vengeance RAM (2x16, 3600MHz) and an Asus Strix RX5700XT. The whole thing works very well together and performs very well.
    The bios is readable and easy to use.
    I recommend this product.

    Good motherboard

    The motherboard does its job, the bios is readable, but it is absolutely necessary to update it.
    The driver support page for Windows is correct, for Linux you have to go to the pages of each manufacturer, knowing that the Lan does not work from the start (Ubuntu 20.04)
    And unfortunately with a 3 slot graphics card, the PCI connectors become inaccessible.

    The LDLC delivery is top notch, as usual.

    Very good motherboard

    Coupled with a Ryzen 5 3600 and 16GB of DDR4 CORSAIR Vengeance LPX.
    Does the job perfectly. The BIOS is clear and easy to understand.
    Some small bugs (especially with the RAM OC, or some menus not yet translated) but this is normal because the card has just been released.
    Wifi and bluetooth are top notch.
