    Small but big!

    I bought this motherboard to mount a secondary PC, and it meets my expectations of being able to fit into a small tower.
    The ram slot is a bit close to the processor, which can get in the way of the ventirad if you have ram strips with a lot of height.

    Very satisfied with meccano

    As I'm not very knowledgeable about computers, my comments only concern the ease with which the motherboard and the various components can be fitted, as well as the installation of w11 from a USB stick, which went without a hitch (the BIOS was up to date).
    The performance is more than adequate for a secondary computer.

    Works

    Nothing special, this motherboard does the job, the UEFI is clear enough, I don't need anything more (wi-fi for example).
