Spectacular performance

The 12th generation Intel Core processors are a small revolution in the world of x86 architectures, as they are the first to integrate a hybrid architecture. This process consists of combining two different types of cores on the same chip. The first 1, called Percormance-Cores, are dedicated to performance in games and mono-threaded applications requiring resources. The second type, called Efficient-Cores, are particularly efficient for multitasking and side task processing. Together, the two provide spectacular performance and incredible responsiveness for your system.

    A very well equipped motherboard!

    For its price, this motherboard is very well equipped and truly magnificent! You can plug in a wide range of SATA, PWM, M.2, RGB ... equipment. Having bought an i5 13600KF, it completely fulfils its power supply function and allows you to get the maximum performance from Intel's 12th, 13th and 14th generation processors. The power supply stages are really well cooled thanks to fans.

    The first two PCIe ports are well placed to accommodate 2 large graphics cards, ideal for professional or personal 3D rendering.

    On the other hand, this card comes with a 2022 BIOS in version 14.04 (as far as I'm concerned). It barely supports 13th-generation processors, but not 14th-generation ones. For compatibility reasons (CPU and RAM), it would be necessary to update it to a more recent version, which represents a risk for inexperienced users.

    I highly recommend this card, given my experience of it so far!

    Magnificent motherboard

    As announced in the title, magnificent motherboard, excellent rendering in the case, clear Asrock polychrome software that surprisingly works quite well, Razer Chroma sync directly, as well as with the G.Skill Trident RAM, BIOS update necessary for high-frequency stability. Connectivity more than adequate for any configuration. I'd recommend it without hesitation, especially at the excellent price I paid for it!
