Great product overall.
I just have some minor issues, where the motherboard doesn't recognize my connected laptops, or my DV camcorder ....
I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the SATA1 or the SATA2, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the SATA2, and I'm sure it's a good idea to use the SATA1... It's not written anywhere.
If the dvd is on another SATA than port 1, it is not recognized as bootable.
Docs still in English, domage....
the fact that it is fully debuggable doesn't necessarily reassure you about the options you can move or not, so beware of the sorcerer's apprentices. The card can be very large in power.
The card does not recognise my Dominator 3200 at this speed, although the original speed of the processor (i7 11700) is also given for this memory management speed. I have not yet had time to figure out what is going on.
I've tried two or three settings, it crashes (normal) but it recovers by itself, which is reassuring.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the PC to turn off the light or not, it's quite a pain in the ass.
It's a good card for gamers. It's a great card for gamers.
17 11700k water cooled, EVGA 1080 Water cooled, 32GB domnator corsair, 2M2 in raid 0, 2 samsung SSD, 1 HDD, outdoor temperature 30°, water temperature 35, proc temperature 50 to 60° (50% CPU usage), video tempering 40 to 45° (100% GPU usage)
So on the basics, it's reliable on the plus side, there is something to be said for it.
