    Excellent value for money: does the job, very nice bio interface

    With a Ryzen 7 5700G, I've got a competitive dev configuration, with a dual QHD display (I've heard that I could even add a third FHD display, but I'm not sure...).
    I like the easy-to-understand bios interface and the management of fan speeds according to heat speed (in PWM or voltage for the old 3-pin fans in my case...). It took me a while to work out how to acknowledge the open case alarm and I couldn't find a way of masking it (so I plugged my open case switch into it...).
    The lack of USB-C ports is regrettable, but at this price you can't be picky. I added a small USB 3.2 controller card on a PCI slot and a 3.5" bar with 4 ports on the front of the case...

    good value for money.

    Having had a CM from the same brand that lasted 12 years from an old PC (a handling error that proved fatal!), I've gone back to the same brand.
    It's very good for an entry-level office PC with a Ryzen 3.
    For Ryzen 5s, it's better to take a CM from a higher range to handle the higher current demands.

    There's good ventilation management with smart FAN on this card.

    Very good motherboard

    Nothing to report, great stuff! Very good value for money.

    My only complaint is that the graphics card is really too close to the case and sata connections. The format explains this problem but still. If you have a big CG, you may have problems
