    efficient and aesthetic

    I took 3 packs for my configuration and everything is ok, works perfectly with mystic light.
    I've been using the hub provided in each pack and can connect 6 fans per hub.
    I recommend :)

    Excellent motherboard

    This motherboard works perfectly, and is very nice. As far as Wi-Fi is concerned, I've never had such a high speed. The assembly was quite simple and detailed. The CM comes with a nice 16GB USB stick with the drivers that can be reused as storage afterwards. The BIOS is easy to use and the price is quite high but it's still a nice surprise for me.
