Ryzen 5 5500GT processor recognised directly with the bios already installed by the manufacturer in July 2024 (no need to update the bios).
Simple, efficient motherboard.
Integrated sound card well-suited to high-impedance headphones, a big change from the old on-board chipsets!
I bought this motherboard as a replacement for an Asus motherboard. Works very well with an AMD Ryzen 5 processor
